Hey dev mates, at the end of the day... who cares anymore! I just got used to use native simple bookmarks again and for me that's enough. They are saved even in furhter work session, even closing the IDE (but not if you close the unit), so for me is enough. Not the optimum solution like the Parnassus ones, but whatever.

Eventually I end up using this simply code, that is very straight forward, using a component created on the go that handles the taskdialog for every different Windows version hassle-free and suppports thems (and no need to use API). procedure TFromMain.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin with TTaskDialog.Create(nil) do begin try Caption := 'Dialog Caption'; Title := 'Dialog Title'; Text := 'This is dialog text.'; CommonButtons := [tcbClose]; Execute; finally Free; end; end; end;

TY so much, that's what I need! ❤️

Yes, exactly. I'm trying the TTaskDialog component, may this be the way to go? The only draw back is that I don't like a component on an actual form to make this, example if I have to show a message from a unit or project with no forms.

From the glorious Windows Vista, a new kind of MessageBoxes were introduced, with an added description (beside the usual message, title, icon and buttons for user interactions). I used this messagebox style in my Delphi projects thanks to a wrapper for the APIs featured from Vista and above, but now, from Delphi 10.3, with themes activated, I have a strange behavior: if the more than a button is not provided in the style parameter, I have a an empty title! If I disable themes the title is correctly displayed. Now I was thinking of doing my own custom messagebox (just a simple customized modal form), so I can even expand its functionalities. But before I reinvent the wheel, I wonder: what do you use for your apps as messageboxes? Please don't tell me "ShowMessage"! 😁

Yes, totally agree. And you know what? Now I got re-used to the old Delphi IDE bookmarks system again and I I like it, it's fast and does it's job. I think I don't even reinstall the Parnassus add-ons if available.

That's a real shame. In CE 10.3 it was there, in the GetIt Package Manager. And it's still there. So now it's not for CE anymore.

Not only in Alexandria... I just installed the CE 10.4.2 Sidney and there are no more Bookmarks / Navigator IDE plug-ins... WTH is happening?!

Without the wonderful Parnassus Bookmarks, is still there a kind of bookmarks in Delphi itself? I remember something in D2010, but it was naive compared to Parnassus, but still better than nothing though.

Also other VM/PC. My app is an installer!

Ok, now I get it. But the problem is that I've not disabled it on my machine and the issue occurs.

I've to try that with a brand new empty project, but it happens in two different project.

Yes, it's already what I do.

No. First I don't want to disable it, second I cannot disable it on my users machines!

Hi, I have a routine that I've been using successfully for a long time to start a process with admin rights elevation. But I've lately noticed that the UAC request is minimized in the task bar, instead I'd like it to appear full-screen as if the user had clicked on the executable himself. I'm using: FillChar(seExecShell, SizeOf(seExecShell), 0); seExecShell.cbSize := SizeOf(seExecShell); seExecShell.Wnd := hndCaller; seExecShell.fMask := SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS; seExecShell.lpVerb := PWideChar(RUN_CMD); seExecShell.lpFile := PWideChar(fnFile); seExecShell.lpParameters := PWideChar(strParams); seExecShell.nShow := SW_SHOWNORMAL; Result := ShellExecuteEx(@seExecShell); ShellExecuteEx(@seExecShell); Then to manage the waiting for the the process to terminate: GetExitCodeProcess(seExecShell.hProcess, ExitCode); But even without waiting there is always the issue of the minimized UAC request. Do you think there is a workaround or this is a "by-design" feature of Windows?
