Use GetControls() new since Delphi 11 I believe. Just as an example for me to disable TcxEdit's only. But you can do your own stuff: for var ctrl in frmMain.GetControls([ceftAll]) do begin if (ctrl is TcxEdit) then begin TcxEdit( ctrl).Enabled := false; end; end;

Hi guys! I am using D12. I have lots of code for ID’s like this: type TProductID = record ID : nativeint; end; What I want is this: type TProductID = nativeint; And yes I know the last declaration works! But when you make a call to a procedure and you mixed the params by mistake you got no error. Is there any helper, record attribute, compiler directive or so where I did not think of?!?! procedure TForm6.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin var tmpid: TProductID := 6; AddToStock(tmpid, 100); AddToStock(100, tmpid); // I want a compiler warning or error here!!!!!!! end; procedure TForm6.AddToStock(pid: TProductID; cnt: nativeint); // Both uses internally nativeint begin ShowMessage(pid.ToString); end; Now I have lot's(!) of database code like this in my program.... var cid : TCustomerID; var pid: TProductID; pid.ID := qryGetStockProductID.AsInteger; cid.ID := qryGetStocCustID.AsInteger; What I want is: pid:= qryGetStockProductID.AsInteger; cid := qryGetStocCustID.AsInteger;

Great! Thanks a lot!!

Hi! I installed ICS 9.1 today, wowww I am impressed. The demos are very impressive, compliments to the author(s) 😉 But also overwhelming with so much functionality. Can you give me a direction where to look for with what is the easiest way to find a MySQL server ( with port 3306 open) on my LAN (192.168.x.x)? Thanks in advance, Emile

@Angus and @FPiette, thank you both!!

I know it's a compiler problem, but why can they do it with classes and not with records....

That can be true, but that is 'not my problem' how to solve it. I use records a lot for several reasons (speed, memory management,....). And it would be VERY nice to have that.

forward declaration of records, just like a class

Hi team! frmSelectFooter := TfrmSelectFooter.Create(self); if frmSelectFooter.ShowModal = mrOk then begin ... end; FreeAndNil( frmSelectFooter ); If there are TFDQuery's used in that form, do I need to close explicitly close the query? In other words, are (database) resources still in use? Thanks! Emile

Thanks for the quick reply!! 😉

The TFDConnection is on a central place in the program on a different datamodule. ( MySQL and the property 'Pooled' is left default, which is False )

Totally agree. Fix the existing things first....

Hi team! I have a question; I have a situation where a secretary manages multiple calendars in Outlook. So from her manager, employee 1, employee 2, etc. Is it possible to get access to all calendars of all people? For example I want to put an appointment in the calendar of 'Employee 2' via Delphi 12. I now use the 'basic' access like: try myOutlook := GetActiveOleObject('Outlook.Application'); except myOutlook := CreateOleObject('Outlook.Application'); end; etc. etc. And that works. ( I use it for sending emails ). But I don't know you to use multiple calendars.... Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Emile

Looks interesting. I will try that! Thanks for your help ;-))

Thanks for your answer. First the link does not work. And second my application is a planning tool where lots of mutations are done during the day. And adding email with attachments is not a good option ( we tought of that), because there will be a lots of mouse click work than and I don't want to run VBA scripts. Therefore I want full access to the local application, where the secretary has access to xxx employees. And I want to add/remove directly into Outlook. It already works for 1 calendar. But now I want to address one specific calendar.....that is my question

Yes, but it's loooooooots of things to read and every item is hyperlinked to another page. So I miss the overview. I hope(d) that some could say, yes I have done this before and do this (fake code): calendar.User[2].AddAppointment

Nobody?!?!

Question, I have a large D10.4 project ( approx. 80 forms and lots of frames, also DevExpress and ReportBuilder). Is it worth upgrading now to D11? I did a quick test and I tried loading my project and I see still some high DPI issues, especially on frames. I can reposition the components and it seems to be okay. I have the latest november patch loaded. But can I aspect new issues ( which I did not see now, because I did not went trough all my forms)? Or should I wait until D11 patch 1? Comments welcome 😉

Great! I work only on the Windows platform. One DLL less 😉 So the Embarcadero guys did a translation found on the SQLITE.ORG source code to Delphi-Pascal?

May be a stupid question; but I am correct with the option 'EngineLinkage -> sIFDEStatic' I don't need any external DLL? ( Now I deploy sqlite3.dll to all my clients ). Or is this other behaviour...

Hey guys! I need a little help, I created a ticket. We live in 2023, talking about 64-bit compilers, FMX, and other high-tech stuff, and a string literal can not be longer then 255 chars? for use with resourcestrings, consts. Come on..... Please vote! https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-41138

They heard my voice ;-)) https://blogs.embarcadero.com/yukon-beta-blog-delphi-language-modernizing-string-literals/

Title is clear I think ;-)). Installed with DevExpress, CodeSite and ReportBuilder.... NO ISSUES!!

One last remark, as said, it's this issue not shocking.... I use DevExpress 'dxFormattedLabels' a lot. So in the string there will be extra markup code for setting text to bold and/or italic or change color. So the string can quickly become quite large. If you use a multi language app ( as I have Dutch and English for now), the string can grow beyond it's limitation. Break; never filed a request to EMB before, but I see they changed the status to OPEN and INTERNAL ASSIGNED. So there is a little hope 😉 Have a nice day, to you all. And enjoy D11.3 as much as I do. There are lot's of improvements!!!

Nice your code... I can not use it! Because of a third party tool. I don't know how many Delphi programmers are here in this world. A few thousand sure, but if we sum all the time spend on this ( for me stupid) limitation lot's of money is thrown away. Is it a show stopper? No. Is it critical? No. Are there workarounds? Yes. The only thing I hope is that EMB changes this old fashion limitation.
