I am using Delphi 12.2. I am using a TActionList in a datamodule. I have assigned shortcuts to most of the actions. None of them work. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you. Richard Maley

I added an actionlist to my main form and created Action1 with procedure TfrmWebsocketClient.Action1Execute(Sender: TObject); begin Showmessage('Hello World'); end; as its Execute method. Action1 had a shortcut of Ctrl+F5. IT WORKED. It must have something to do with my having the actionlist in a datamodule. Additionally, The datamodule has a strange line in it: {%CLASSGROUP 'Vcl.Controls.TControl' } Why is that there? Still looking for answers.

I use a number of AI models. I have found no great Delphi developers. What AI model do you find knows Delphi best? Looking forward to your opinions. Richard Maley

A lot has changed since last May. There are many more models. Llama is now local. I keep trying the various contenders and finding none that know Delphi exceptionally well. I am hoping that someone is finding a model that does do well. Richard Maley

I believe the Internet Component Suite is amazing and a godsend for Delphi. Thank you for everything you do to support this software. I wish to use WebSockets with ICS Delphi components. I wish to use this in a very large and important system (cannot name it). I am challenged to prototype this because the Overbyte demo OverbyteIcsSslMultiWebServ.dpr has so many features it is impossible to extract a simple webSocket server. I wish to demonstrate ssl/tls and non ssl/tls connections. I am not interested in echo servers/clients. I want servers/clients that can handshake and exchange messages with each either other. How can I demo this. The client side I have been able and is fairly straight forward. The server side is too complex. Please provide a simple Websocket Server application that supports ssl/tls and non ssl/tls connections. Thank you Richard Maley

Angus Thank you. I got it. I was pointing to the wrong repo. Richard Maley

Angus I cannot find OverbyteIcsBasicWebServer.dpr. I downloaded the code from https://svn.overbyte.be/svn/ics/trunk/. Is this the correct place? Richard Maley

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I am using the ICS TWSocketServer to communicate between a delphi application and a collection of React applications embedded in Edge browsers. The websocket server is running in the delphi application as are the React web applications. When one of the React applications attempts to connect with the websocket server it sends a json frame with some information needed for authentication. I am able to extract the header information but I cannot figure out how to get the json. Could someone help me? Richard Maley

What File Open dialog supports preview of the file to be opened. I am using Delphi 12.2. Thank you in advance.

Uwe Forgive me for this misplaced comment, but THANK YOU FOR EVERTHING YOU DO. Dick Maley

"TFileOpenDialog supports the same previews as Windows Explorer." Uwe I have tried this and cannot see a preview of the file. What am I doing wrong?

I would like to clarify. I am looking for a Dialog that allows a user to select a file and that file content is displayed to the right. This allows the user to select the file knowing he has the right file. What delphi dialog achieves this objective? Thank you in advance.

I have been using AI since it came out more than a year ago. In the beginning Delphi requests for code almost always had errors and fictitious information. Things have gotten better but I still find a lot of errors. The AI tools I am using currently are: Amazon Q Developer Blackbox AI ChatGPT Claude 3 Sonnet Google Gemini mistral.ai Paid-GitHub Copilot Paid-Replit AI Paid-Tabnine Of all of these as of 5/16/24 I find Claude the best but still frequently lacking. Please add your AI favorites and comment on their delphi coding skills. Dick Maley

A month ago Miguel Angel Moreno presented a video on new features in XMLMapper. Is the new version included in Delphi 11.3? Dick Maley

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

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

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

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

Thank you I missed the Options button. 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!
