Yes, my bad. I'm getting old ... 🙂

in a dynamic 2D array ( a type like TMyArray = array of array of integer) you can set the number of rows with a SetLength call on the array variable and, for each row, set the number of columns with a SetLength(arrayvar, rowindex) call. That should cover your requirements. To reduce memory fragmentation you should avoid multiple SetLength calls on the same array row or the array itself, though. Determine the number of rows/elements beforehand, if possible.

Well, it has to be something you do in your code then. I just created a new VCL app (D12.2), dropped a TRichedit on it, build and ran and it inserts an image (jpg in this case) dragged from Explorer to it just fine. If you now handle WM_DROPFILES or such try to disable that.

XE6 and D12 use different versions of the Windows richedit control as far as I remember, that may explain the change in behaviour you see.

Looks like the GetAdminSection function does not return an automation-compatible interface. Can you check what VarType the returned OleVariant has?

Try Result := not (VarIsClear(OleObject) or VarIsEmpty(OleObject) or VarIsNull(OleObject)) and (VarType(OleObject) = VT_DISPATCH);

If you open the wsdl in a browser you will see that it is very complex, importing a lot of xml schemas which partially import other schemas, using a host of namespaces. And the schemas seem to be not valid in some cases, e.g. by using namespace prefixes like tns: without defining them. The wsdls also refer to a script but fails to define a namespace for it, no idea if that is valid.

Look at this help entry for an overview of how to modify the way a TDBGrid is drawn. In your case set the DefaultDrawing property of the grid to false and attach a handler to the OnDrawColumnCell event. The handler can check the attached dataset's current row to see what row it has to draw. If it is the first just call the grid's DefaultDrawColumnCell method directly. If it is the second row change the grid.canvas.font to bold first and then call DefaultDrawColumnCell. That should do what you want.

GUIs are just the majority of the applications build with Delphi. But you can easily build console programs with it, too. The File -> New dialog also offers a template for that.

In this case just override the Loaded method of the frame and link the event handler in code there, after calling the inherited method first. That will fix the issue even if you cannot figure out why it happens in the first place. Not really satisfactory, of course, but the only reason I can think of would be if somebody cleared the Name property of the dataset in question or moved the handler method from published to public scope by accident.

The IDE configuration is stored in the registry and the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive is of course specific for the user account the IDE is running under. Compare the content of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\23.0\Editor\Options\Known Editor Enhancements and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\23.0\Experts keys under the two accounts (adjust the 23.0 if you use a different Delphi version than 12.2).

If you run into this problem and then call up the Tools -> Options dialog, what does it show as active key mapping on the Editor -> Key mapping page?

If you put a breakpoint on the first GetDeviceCaps line, do you reach it when running under the debugger? If so, does Printer.Handle have a reasonable value? Are you dealing with a network printer here that may be offline? So many questions, so little data...

But you can state it explicitely, just use an appropriate type cast, e.q. Smallint(1) instead of just 1.

Have you enabled "Build with run-time packages" in the project options? If not all code from the units in question will be compiled into a monolithic exe and there will be no other modules other than DLLs used from the OS or statically linked by units used in the application.
