Are MMX bookmarks the same as default Delphi ones? Eg. you insert them by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+<number> and you retrive them by pressing CTRL+<number>? Because I googled MMX and saw that bookmarks were persistent, but if this is the way to use they are reset once you reload the project... And I cannot find any bookmarks keybind setting in MMX properties. Maybe I'm blind... I'm using CE edition of Delphi 11, is CE the cause of this problem? I've installed MMX mainly for the purpose of using persistent and more flexible bookmarks.

Oh ok, then I was likely misinformed about persistent bookmarks and such.

Of course it is, they didn't report anything. And all this situation is a very bad sign about the future of Delphi. -

Nonetheless, even if I love Delphi and I have a very big project with it, I started learning C# and Visual Studio Community... -

Are they working on it? Because I'm not so sure at this point... -

But it's for this reason that I wanted to understand the problem, since I had a different experience I wanted to know what was he talking about, I wasn't saying I didn't believe him or that he was not telling the truth. I know the issue is still there, just to know how it could affect the installed IDE. Thanks to @Angus Robertson to his kind response. -

What are you talking about? My CE works perfectly, it's just GetIt that it's unreachable, but the IDE works, che compiler too. I'm currently working on my +150K code lines project with no delay. -

Probably this is the sad reality. -

Since GetIt is still down, fortunately I was able to download my component from GitHub. That saved my butt. How to reinstall Help system from the ISO? I didn't installed it on the first time and I'd want to avoid that my customization will be overwritten by a bran new installation (again!). -

The actual point is: they never mentioned this in any newsletter. They should have. -
No more, for me Wiki and GetIt - at least - are down again...

Impossilbe to find entry point for WinSATGetScore in WinSATAPI.dll
Silver Black posted a topic in Windows API
Hi! I have this declaration: function WinSATGetScore(out Score: TWinSATScore): Boolean; external 'WinSATAPI.dll'; But I get the run-time error "Impossible to find WinSATGetScore entry point procedure in dynamic link library <executable.exe>". What's wrong in the declaration? The DLL is a system one and thus included in my Windows 11 System32 folder. -

It's a start, thank you so much! -

Silver Black replied to Silver Black's topic in Windows API
I had looked into that, but I wasn't sure, now I saw the registered dll, thank you again. However, I still don't know how to call the function I used to call like this: function WinSATGetScore(out Score: TWinSATScore): Boolean; external 'WinSATAPI.dll'; How the new WINSATLib_TLB.pas unit created from the IDE should help with my problem? -

Silver Black replied to Silver Black's topic in Windows API
But did you create this on the fly just now, for me?! How did you do that from the original DLL? Thank you so much mate! -

Great, thanks! -
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.

Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria?
Silver Black replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
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. -
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"! 😁

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! ❤️
