Can anyone tell me how to clear the TEdgeBrowser cache? I set EdgeBrowser.UserDataFolder :='C:\Temp\CPRSBrowserCache\'; The folder is created and never used, i.e., always empty. Cached data is being displayed rather than new data. If I open up the Edge browser and clear the cache then correct data is displayed in my TEdgeBrowser instance. Why is EdgeBrowser.UserDataFolder not being populated? How can I empty the cache? Dick Maley

The US Veterans Affairs Medical Health Record system uses a database called Vista which is a FileMan/Mumps/M based DBMS. It is old. It is very fast. It is huge!!! Many arrogant vendors have tried to move this data to a MODERN DBMS system. Most have failed. The Medical Health Record System at VA is written in Delphi. It is called "CPRSChart". It is used my millions of users daily. The connections between the Delphi front end and the Vista backend are very complicated and arcane. Is there an open source framework for developing new FireDac connectors? I have not found any. I would like to develop a FileMan FireDac connector so that CPRSChart could communicate directly with the Vista database. How would you recommend that I proceed. Thank you. Dick Maley

Good idea, but I do have it on the Library Path.

I purchased "EurekaLog_7.11.0.1_Enterprise_for_RAD_Studio" with source code on January 21, 2021. The subscription ran out a year later. Since I purchased source code I decided to upgade EurekaLog so it would work with Rad Studio 12 Athens. To do this: I copied the Studio28 folder in the projects directory to Studio29. In the *.dpk and *.dproj files I replaced 28 with 29. In the "\Neos Eureka S.r.l\EurekaLog 7\Source\Common" directory I modified "ElDefines.inc" to add Delphi 12. With these changes "EurekaLogGroup.groupproj" successfully compiles and in the packages directory a new folder appears "Studio29". This folder is filled with the 290 bpl files and other files. When I try to install the packages I get the following message: "Can't load package E:\Installs\Studio29\EurekaLogExpert290.bpl. The specified module could not be found." The bpl's are there. What is the problem? Richard Maley

Thank you I missed the Options button. Dick Maley

I am currently installing Rad Studio 11. I do not want to install it on the c drive. I could not find any way to change the location. I installed using the *.iso file. Is there a way to change the location? Dick Maley

Edwin This is very god. Thank you. Dick Maley

Delphi 11 stores the Formatter configuration files in C:\Users\?\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0. I copied my Delph 11 formatter.config file to C:\Users\?\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\23.0. It worked.

My installation of Rad Studio 12 does have "Formatter.exe" in the bin directory. I added this to the tools menu and ran it against some Rad Studio 12 code. It worked fine, I am confident that the new long strings feature would not format correctly, but I am not sure. Can anyone tell me where the formatting configuration is stored in Rad Studio 11 so I can migrate it to Rad Studio 12? Thank you.

This seems very questionable!

Anders Thank you for your answer and for your many years of supporting the Delphi community. I was not aware of your blog. It is a treasure of information related to TGifImage. I have added it to my list of standard reference sources. Thank you. Dick Maley

How do I set the TransparentColor for a TGifImage? Thank you. Dick Maley

I am very interested. Email me at dickmaley@advdelphisys.com.

The job description can be found here. https://ncr.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ext_us/details/Software-Engineer-III_R0127327-3?q=delphi I applied about a month ago and have heard nothing. I would welcome a coding test. Where have all the Delphi jobs gone? Dick Maley

The position in Frederick, Maryland is about 20 miles from my house. For the last 4 years this company has been advertising remote Delphi Developer positions working for the Legal & General America Headquarters located at 3275 Bennett Creek Ave in Frederick, MD 21704, United States. Many days I would receive 6 calls a day from different headhunters looking to fill this position. Frequently the connection is very bad (voip) and the indian accent is very difficult to understand. I have interviewed with one of the vendors trying to fill the position, Diverse Lynx. Eventually, I cut off all communications with this company because they appeared to be human traffickers and completely untrustworthy. I am a grey beard as was mentioned in one of the earlier posts. I could do the job with very little effort. Something is very fishy about this position in Frederick, MD. They are looking to fill the position for $50/hour. Dick Maley
