Hi Stefan, I just did an svn on DDevExtensions rev 18 and the D11 code didn't come with it. Do I have to do something else? Ian

Enjoy your Vacation..

Excellent! Perhaps an option for MMX?

Hi Team, Final release D11, KSVC via Getit. Trying to use the Raize components, when I go to build my App I get.. "[dcc32 Fatal Error] MainFrm.pas(48): F2051 Unit RzCommon was compiled with a different version of Vcl.Forms.TCustomForm" I'm going to take a guess that KSVC may have been built with a slightly earlier version of D11.. Anybody else seeing this? Note: I do have KSVC installed in by D10.4.2 via Getit, without any App build issues. Any thoughts/suggestions? Regards, Ian

FredS - Is your issue resolved??

I took the dpi switch out and installed the latest and the Config dialog opening tab looks a lot better and is usable.. The General Tab needs a little more TLC. ;-) The IDE & Code Editor tabs seem a little squashed but are usable. Again, your efforts are very much appreciated. Regards, Ian

Hi Team, I would like to embed something in my Delphi D10.4.2 32 bit Apps that would monitor something such that I could send a text message to them. e.g. Send a message, "Please log out of your application asap!", to 5 Users on 5 different workstations connected via LAN & RDP. The Apps would detect this message and pop up a message dialog to the User. Obviously it would need a sending mechanism as well. Thoughts, suggestions, examples, recommendations appreciated. Regards & TIA, Ian

That fixed it.. But I view that as a stop-gap measure. 😉 Regards, Ian

Noted.

Where is this set/setting? I have the 96dpi set as you have. I have two 4k monitors, set exactly the same.

Appreciate the concern. The usage model is that the originator will probably want one or more Users to exit their App(s). As the Apps check every 60 secs and the Originator's Generate App checks every 120 secs, then shortly after the generator App shows the message the Originator would exit, deleting the message file. Yes, if the User(s) are away from their PC there will be messages waiting for them when they get back. The practicality is that if they haven't exited in a timely manner their Boss will be on the Phone to them. 🙂 In general this has nothing to do with any Server action. It is purely for if/when an App update needs to be loaded. Ian

I just built rev 3613 in D11. HTH. Regards, Ian

The D11 .dll provided by Dave Nottage did the same thing. See the other thread. "r3588 and Alexandria." My monitor is a 27" I wonder if it is a combination of D11 & Windows 11 thing?? It is fine under D10.4.2 & Win 11. What are your D11 display/DPI settings? Ian

Error Handling - Not worth it in this case. This may get used once a month, if that. It is intended to repeat every 60 secs as long as the message.txt lives. Exiting the message.txt creating App deletes the file. Try-Finally bloc - Yup, will do that. TFileStream - Will look at. Thank you for your input/suggestions. Ian

Hi Team, My solution has been running all day, multiple Apps, multiple Users, no issues seen or reported. :-) I did a test message this morning and got a response from everybody. :-) Thank you all for your input. Regards, Ian

FWIW my issue is still present in D10.4.2 in MMX 15.0.45.2476. With CnWizards v 1.2.0.1050 enabled I got an extra error.. This would seem to be a CnWizards issue. Disabling CnWizards in D10.4.2 eliminated the extra error but I still had my original errors. I also initially had an issue with MMX 15.0.45.2476 in D11 but if I disabled CnWizards v 1.2.0.1050 all was fine. Regards, Ian

Hi Thomas, Win 11, D11, GE rev 3612. 4k monitor (3840 x 2160 - 150%) Understanding that it is still a work in progress, this is purely FYI. D2007 build fails with..

Purely FYI. Attempting to build rev 3598 this morning for D2007, D10.4.2 & D11 gives the following..

On a Win 11 PC. Regards, Ian

Hi David, I ended up writing a little App to write a 'message.txt' file to the Apps root directory. It deletes it when I exit the App. I then added the following code in a TTimer event.. procedure TMainForm.MessageTimerTimer(Sender: TObject); var sPath, sMessage: string; fMessageFile: TextFile; begin // sPath := ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0)) + '\Message.txt'; // if FileExists(sPath) then begin AssignFile(fMessageFile, sPath); Reset(fMessageFile); ReadLn(fMessageFile, sMessage); CloseFile(fMessageFile); // with TTaskDialog.Create(self) do try Caption := 'Operations Alert!'; Title := 'Urgent Action Notice!'; Text := sMessage; CommonButtons := [tcbOk]; Execute; finally Free; end; // end; // end; It fires every 60 seconds. I will see on Monday how it does or doesn't affect performance from the User's perspective. They are generally pretty quick to let me know. ;-) Regards, Ian

Hi Fred, What are the chances our two issues are related....

Hi Uwe, Yes, I am not sure how to assist in tracking it down. It is repeatable. I can't say if it happens in D11 yet as Elevate Software hasn't released their D11 versions yet. I have the latest MMX running fine in D11 ATT. If there is something I can do to assist, let me know pls. Regards, Ian

FYI - This is how the two versions are appearing on my PC with a 4k monitor.

I deleted all D11 then used the License Manager in my D10.4.2 to delete the D11 Beta license. Then installed D11 without issue.

Hi David, Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, they are all my Apps. Rebooting is not the issue, it is getting the message to them to exit the Apps so I can. ;-) They are on a LAN with Win 7 PCs and RDP into a Win 2012 Server R2. Regards, Ian

Tested and verified. Thanks Uwe.
