Ahhh. Tks.

Tks Brian.
Yes, VMWare Workstation Pro.
What dictates which alternative you use?

Hi Team,
With the recent change in ownership of VMWare and the changes that have been wrought to it, I am leary of continuing to use it.
What is a suitable alternative?
I am using Win 11.
-
Ditto.

That is what I used.

IndyIPServer290 issue: Deleted it and the issue went away. 😉 It should have been deleted with the Clean up.
LivePreview Issue: Answered in 2021 when I had the same issue. I don't use it so it doesn't matter.

Hi Team,
Win 11, D12.1.
I installed the latest Indy10 per the instructions.
I noted that the uninstall cmd kept failing due to access level.
I manually deinstalled the indicated Indy files.
I then installed the 290.groupproj without issue.
On restarting D12 I see the following message:
I found IndyIPServer.dpk but Delphi doesn't like it. 😞
Do I need this .bpl?
If yes, how do I now recreate it to Indy10?
I am also seeing this error when I start D12:
Regards & TIA,

Case on Strings.
i.e.
case myStringVariable of
'A': do something;
'Test': do something;
etc
end;

Aside from wanting all the existing features/functions working 100% and bug free, I wouldn't mind a construct like this:
var a := b := c := d := 0; or similar.

Roger, Lars, Fair comment. I apologise. I would edit it if I could.

So, the thicken plots....
I have narrowed it down to using the ''' construct with the ExpandedText property of a TTaskDialog.
I create the TTaskDialog in code.
Everything is happy with this:
ExpandedText := '1. Wait - The App will try to reconnect until it connects or it has another connection timeout.' + sLineBreak + '2. Cancel - This is a last resort selection and will result in an Application crash and generate a formal error report.' + sLineBreak + 'At this error prompt you have the normal error report options.' + sLineBreak + 'If you don?t know or understand the error report dialog or the options available you should ask to your Workflow System Administrator.' + sLineBreak + 'It is strongly recommended that you select these options in the following priority/order => Wait then Cancel.';
As soon as I put all the text into the ''' construct and double click on the OnShow property of the form, It gives me the error that it can't find OnShow.
Interestingly, I didn't get the 'finally-end' inserted as I edited the text.

Hi Brian,
You may have hit on something there.
I think I first noticed it when I was setting up text within the ''' - ''' multi-line structure.
The 4 files I found the issue in had been so edited.
I restored previous versions of each and all was fine.
Today I was just editing one of those files in the IDE and was in the process of restructuring a block of text per the ''' multi-line structure, when it happened. 😞
I had pressed enter at the end of the text line and got a 'finally-end' back. 😞
I did a test again to see if double clicking on the OnShow Event would work, and no, it now failed per my original experience.
I tried to back out the ''' construct, but the issue persisted. 😞
I restored a 1 hour old backup and it was fine.
Note to Self: Don't bother with ''' constructs for the foreseeable future.
This isn't a Patch 1 specific issue, 3 of the 4 files restored went 'faulty' around mid-Jan & the fourth around mid-Dec.
Unfortunately, I can't replicate this in a test App. 😞

Hi Team,
For what ever reason, it doesn't happen anymore.
I didn't take notes, but I'm wondering if it was somehow related to the other issue I posted about which has been resolved. Seemingly corruption of some sort that I couldn't identify.
Unfortunately, I can't recall if I experienced this issue in those Projects specifically, or in others. 😞
Certainly the issue reproduceable and annoying.
Everything is working as expected now.
Thank you all for your contributions.
I will keep my fingers crossed...
Regards,
Ian

I backtracked through the versions and found that three developed the issue in mid January and one in mid Dec.
Doing the usual file comparisons, I couldn't find a change/difference in the sour dfm files. 😞
All restored now and working as desired.
Thanks for looking.

Update - I just went through the 30 projects in the ProjectGrp.
4 projects are exhibiting the issue. 😞
I guess that narrows it down to what do those 4 have in common....

Hi Dave,
No it didn't happen on a new project.
And it isn't happening on/in all my projects in the proj Gp.
But it is happening in more than one. 😞
I can't really post the form/project as it has 3rd Pary components on it and there is proprietary information in it.
Whilst I could mask the information, it would still be dependant on you having the 3rd Party components to open the unit.
What's a little more annoying is that I don't know how long this 'isssue' has existed and therefore how long existing FormShow procedures in the relevant Apps hasn't been functioning. 😞

D12 + Patch.
I just double clicked on the FormShow event of a Form to create the event.
I got a "Cannot find implementation of method FormShow.: error.
I checked, the declaration is in the Form Class and the procedure is in the code.
Huh??
I added some code into the FormShow procedure but it doesn't run. I don't get any error messages.
Any thoughts/suggestions??

Ian

Hi Team,
Seemingly since I installed the D12 Patch:
If I press enter here:
on seemingly any method, or even within the code, more often than not I get this:
Nothing else has changed. It is repeatable.
Is it me or is there a bug un the Patch/update?
It didn't happen before the Patch/Update.
Regards & TIA,

My KSVC update seemingly installed OK but when I went to update my project it couldn't find some KSVC components.
I had to de/re install KSVC and all was good.
Does anybody know what the KSVC update changed/updated?
Regards,
Ian

Found it! One of the components on the form ahd constraints for some reason.
All fixed now.
Thanks to all for your input.

Hi Brian,
I could be wrong, this is not in code, this is in the IDE at Design time.

Hi Team,
D12.
What would/could prevent me being able to widen my MainForm?
There are no Constraints and the form is sizable.
It is a Normal form.
I can change the height OK, but not the width. 😞
Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated.
Regards & TIA,
Ian
