So, how was it going?

In my application I retrieve the icon of an executable file with the system list icons and the SHGetFileInfo. All ok, but in Windows 10 apps run inside ApplicationHostFrame.exe, that has a standard .exe icon, even Edge run embedded in this. How to get the real icon of eg. Edge, Messenger and any other app for Windows 10? In the image an explicative example. Normal apps have their executable which I use to extract their actual icons, apps embedded in ApplicationHostFrame not (but when you search their executable file you can see the correct icon).

Cool, thank you!

From "event log", sure, sorry. I use a lot of API and make some system-wide hooks. Those files are local on my PC, thery are nothing special: the application tracks down some statistics about system usage and fills in a listview, the user can save the list in a text file, when you save/load that file the messages appear, even without doing nothing, but just the save/open message dialog appears! Strange, 'cause in Delphi 2010 I didn't see them.

I'm renewing a very old project (from Delphi 2007). All good, but I have some strange compiler messages in the debug window when I save/load text files from my app. Where do they come from?!

I have hundreds of this. No issues at all in the behaviour of my app, neither error mesages. But very annoying! And beside this, I'm curious...

In Delphi 10.3.x there are visual styles you can use to theme your apps. You can select more than one and choose a default for app startup, but how to allow user to select othere themes at run-time?

My God, I really have to check this out, thank you!

I'm reading now: yes there are many. Interesting. So how do I clean the project, with the clean option of GExperts? Which files do you advice me to select for cleaning? Only *.DCU? In all my sysmte? No CN Packs' Input Helper here. Duplicates? How is this possible?

Yes, I wrote it.

Still no in-line stuff, I'm stuck with the old good school! 😉

Perfect, thanks!

I meant: how do you tell the compiler to use VTV 5.3 or 7.0? How do you choose?

Delphi 10.3.1, on my project code completion just stopped working completely, even on full rebuild or restarting the IDE. 😞 That's a real shame, it never ever happened in 10 years with Delphi 2010 (it was perfect). ...and it came back, after some coding, building, seraching and runnings… Nice, but worrying. Not able to reproduce it.

Thank you. But how to select the version of VTV o VLV?

Do these data structures behave as intended in 10.3.1? In D2010 I had to use some workarounds, but they are still the best data-strutcures for my needs (instant view of huge items quantity in list-views and tree-views) and I'm preparing to migrate my main project (that widely use them) in 10.3.1.
