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.

You need file system level authentification to access files on the LAN via file system API functions, see WNetAddConnection3 if this is for Windows. For web folders you have to use something like ftp if the server supports it.

TDBGrid does not support that. If you have fields with long text a grid is not the best way to show it, better use a TDBMemo in addition to the grid and tie it to the field in question. It will them show the field content of the record active in the grid as the user scrolls through the records.

Look at the System.Hash unit, this kind of problem is usually the domain of hashing.

Yes, apart from the licence restriction re yearly revenue.

Take a look at TVirtualImagelist and TVirtualimageCollection, these allow you to supply different versions (sizes) of bitmaps optimized for the DPI settings your app may encounter in the wild. This tends to look better than getting the images scaled at runtime from a single sized version.

You do not have the source (pas) for the unit and you should never set up a project to have the source files for Delphi RTL etc. units on its search path. You should have the precompiled FireDAC.Phys.SQLiteWrapper.dcu, though, and the path to its folder should be on the IDE library path for the target platform in question.

You need a 64-bit obj file for that. Is this for a C++-Builder or a Delphi project?

I you are running the IDE on a monitor with scaling set to anything other than 100% it matters if you have enabled high DPI support for the form designer or not (the latter is equivalent to launching the IDE via the Delphi (DPI unware) shortcut the installer provides in the start menu group. You can find the relevant setting in the Tools -> Options dialog:

Can you not just ditch it and use TEdgeBrowser supplied with Delphi instead?

The Delphi program folder contains a console program named tdump.exe (and tdump64.exe for 64 bit executables) that you can use to examine the segments of the C DLL. Look for the exports table and check whether there is an entry for this params variable. If there is you can load the DLL from Delphi (LoadLibrary) and retrieve the address of this export via GetProcAddress, like for an exported function. Store the returned address into a variable of a suitably defined pointer type and you can access the value of the variable.
