Hello RAD Studio Experts, I feel that RAD Studio Professional is a good choice for cross-platform IDE. It's price is around EURO 2,300. As to such a super complicated software, I can say this price is fair and reasonable. When it comes to security fixes, how much do we have to pay for a yearly subscription for a RAD Studio Professional Edition? If I stop subscription, do I have to buy a new license in order to get the security fixes? Thanks for your attention.

Dear RAD Studio Experts, Nowadays, monitoring huge among of sensors over internet is very popular. So MQTT was invented for this purpose: https://mqtt.org/ My questions are: Is there MQTT connection feature in RAD Studio v10.4 so that we can create stunning user dash board from within RAD Studio? It is a big advantage over http web browser dash board because we do not need to open MQTT server IP address to whole public. Will there be MQTT connection feature in new version of RAD Studio?

I heard that Delphi is Pascal language based. I am planning to develop cross-platform apps. I come down to 2 options: RAD Studio 10 or 11 (depends on how poor I will be) Visual Studio 2022 (C++ based) My primary interest is to monitor huge amount (may be several hundred to thousand) of sensors over internet. Can you help me to choose between 1 and 2? Can we program or interact with hardware directly through Pascal language? Is it easier to interact hardware with Pascal than with C/C++, for example, handling MCU register, address content, etc? I am new to Pascal. Hope to hear your opinions.

There are also other choices: LabVIEW - great for creating dashboards. It also has a built-in free-of-charge MQTT plugin. License fee is acceptable for small poor developers. Qt - is also able to create nice dashboards. License fee is US$10,000 per seat per year. Unless you are Lockheed Martin or BAE, you may want to avoid it.

Hello, When I install python4delphi by running MultiInstaller.exe, it shows error like "Your Delphi version does not support COMMAND". What should I do to correct it? My version is Delphi Community v10.4.2. Thanks for your attention. And which python version does it support?

Dear RAD Studio Experts, I try to install Skia on RAD Studio Community v10.4 but the dialogue (attachment) shows that my version of RAD Studio Community v10.4 has no support for iOS, MacOS and Linux! Indeed, I did choose iOS, MacOS and Linux support when I installed RAD Studio Community v10.4. So how do I correct it?

Hello, I tested them and just the same situation - freeze up the whole Delphi software.

Who can help to correct this?

Ok, then, I installed Python4Delphi manually without choosing the auto compilation option. Then, I opened the target project group, chose the module with a bar on it and then secondary clicked on it trying to show its menu but the whole delphi window hung up. I had to kill it from within the Task Manager. How do I correct it? I already have a WinPython 3.8 installed and registered on my Windows 10.

MATLAB is for wealthy big corp even though it is great for instrument control. How about R? Isn't it a graphical software only without hardware handling ability?

COOL! These stuffs are good enough! LabVIEW is also a good choice but no BLE support built-in. Its native instrument interface is good!

Perhaps, they have switched to Visual Studio C++ 2022?!?

Angus, If you can make a GitIT package, it will be much better.

Up to now, I am quite happy with Delphi v10.4.2 about its cross-platform GUI development ability. About its price. Professional version should be acceptable. Try to compare it with QT Creator and Visual Studio 2022. You may find that RAD Studio Pro version is even cheaper. QT Creator costs you US$1,000.00 per month to be paid yearly. It sums up to more than RAD Studio Architect! If you are a C++ fans, I would suggest Code Blocks + wxwidget + wxsmith which cost you nothing.

Hello Friend, I can run Skia examples. Are there any more advanced examples as shown in Delphi v10.4.2 feeds?

It goes without saying that graphics, pictures and media enhance user experience when using software. So from where do you acquire graphics and pictures for your projects? Do you hire digital artists?

I am using the Delphi Community v10.4.2. I can run the bouncing green ball project, however. I am totally new to this software and catching up quite well. I guess it can help me to build a very large dashboard GUI.

I tried to run exsamples FMX1 and FMX2 but both fail! Many errors were shown by the compiler. Anybody have success on these 2 examples?

Hello, I am new to RAD Studio v10.4.2 Community. I want to understand what FireMonkey can do. Please provide some example projects to me. Thanks. Is FireMonkey also Pascal based?

I have found that another SVG related package has install image32 already and Delphi 10.4.2 refuses to install.

This one from IEEE is more authoritative https://www.computer.org/publications/tech-news/trends/8-best-video-file-formats-for-2020/ You should choose a file format based on your video quality requirements. The video should achieve the required quality, but no more than that. High-quality videos are hard to download, convert, share and manage. Plus, you need to take into account how you want to view the video files. Not all browsers, programs, and devices can play a specific video format. Before choosing a video format, consider the following cases: For online videos choose a file format that most web browsers support. This way, your video will be played natively on the browser. MP4 and WEBM are browser compatible video formats. For home video recordings, choose a format with high quality video good chance of being usable in the future. Open source file formats are more future-proof than proprietary formats that are controlled by enterprises. MP4 or AVI formats are a good fit for that category. For Windows applications, choose a format that is compatible with Windows. WMV is a good choice In this case.

Any installation and user guide?

Many great libraries! I've found this one from GetIT:

How about long movie? Which file format should be used across every OS platform?

Dear Friends, This library is a Dashboard style graphic. I want to try it on my hardware related projects. https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework#delphimvcframework-installation I follow this installation guide and now the procedure stops here. Author provides no further tips on how to install his DMVCFramwork. Can you show me what the next step is?
