Both 11.3 and 12.1 have that 'else' in place and both enforce the MinWidth setting. It is possible to drag to a smaller width than MinWidth but upon release it springs to MinWidth width. I'm now wondering if I was just fixating on the dragging and not when the mouse was released.

I submitted this as a bug and they could not reproduce it in 11.3. Now, neither can I. I can reduce the column width to below MinWidth but as soon as I release the mouse button it springs back to MinWidth. I'm starting to doubt my sanity.

Thanks. I'm using CB 11.3 In the interim I thought I'd detect the column widths changing and then enforce the min width, but there doesn't appear to be any event that fires when a colmn has changed size. Never mind, found a solution you wrote in 2012.

Hello I'm using a TListView in Report mode and I'm creating columns dynamically. I am setting TListItem.MinWidth = 50, but when ran, this is being ignored. What am I missing? Thanks David

We're currently using v11.3 and at the time of v12 release I didn't really see anything compelling enough to update (we're on a subscription) and go through the agro of updating all our third-party components. Is there a noticeable difference?

Thanks. Any idea on the lifetime of a connection/use for a code signing cert?

Why is that? Can multiple remote PCs connect to the Virtualhere server?

Thanks Lars. Running C++ Builder 11.3 for any other that's have tackled this issue.

I'm having difficulty saving and restoring column sizes when the user has their Windows Scale and Layout Scale value set to 125% (i.e larger fonts). With 100% font scaling, I can set and save the column widths without issue. If I set a column at 100pix and the user does not change the width, then it will still be 100pix when I save the column widths. With 125% font scaling, setting the column widths at 100, will result in a width of 125 when it comes to saving the column width. Using the Form's GetPixelsPerInch function I can save the 'base' width value. The issue I'm having is that adding an Image to the column header to denote that the list view is sorted using that column also appears to add in a further offset when it's time to save the column widths. This is only the case with non-100% font scaling. Has anyone handled this to obtain the base width without scale or image offsets?

Both, I expect.

Thanks for your reply (I've been on holiday). I followed your line of reasoning and was able to determine for my vertical TScrollBox: Child.Top - setting this has no effect on positioning in the TScrollBox If Align = alNone, all child windows will overlap at the top of the TScrollBox TScrollBox seems to purely use Child.Align to place windows. I was able to make this work by using: Child.Parent = MyScrollBox Child.Align = alBottom Child.Show( ) Child.Align = alTop New entries will now appear at the bottom of the stack.

Yes, I calculate the height of the current contents, then set NewChild.Top = HeightofCurrentContents + 50, so the Top should be below everything currently contained in the scrollbox. Similar to: NewChild.Top = HeightofCurrentContents + 50; NewChild.Parent = myScrollbox; NewChild.Align = alTop; NewChild.Show(); This has worked for ~20 years, but with the same code, stopped working a few months back. The only thing I can think changed was upgrading to 11.3 gtom 11.2

For our application, we used to add new items to the bottom of the scrollbox so they're in chronologcal order (top=oldest). We were able to do this by setting all the child forms with Align=alTop and Top to be further down the screen. This worked. Random child forms could be destroyed and the contents would shuffle up, retaining their order. Possibly with the introduciton of 11.3, this changed. No matter what I now do, items are always inserted at the top. I don't want to have recreate all the contents of the scrollbox to get my desired order as a user may be interacting with a child form higher up in the scroll box. Does anyone know how to add items to the bottom of a scroll box? Thanks David

In my experience, the Delphi/BCB hpp generator sometimes duplicates declarations already defined in wincrypt.h and other Embarcadero shipped headers. In these cases, I just comment out he offending declaration in the third-party component .hpp files. I'm running ICS v8.69 with BCB 11.3.

In my experience: Clang produces faster code Classic is faster to compile Clang gives better warnings/error messages. Clang is more standards compliant I believe. Clang is the future for BCB Compilation speed: Use either Twine Compile, or use Clang Batch compilation to improve compilation speed. Making our code compile using clang was fairly simple as the warnings/errors given are very helpful.
