    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.

    I love these kind of posts. Just because you don't understand the problem does not mean the problem does not exist. 

    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.

    New to Delphi - just installed Community Edition Delphi 11 wanting to try Delphi development...

    And after an hour of Googling have come up to speed with the embarrassing server situation...

    Does this mean that I have no recourse to try CE until they figure out how to get the GetIt server back?

     

    Currently, I can't select a Platform, which means File > New shows no forms, nothing, except Other and Customize...

     

    Not a great start to a Delphi experience! 😞

     

    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.

    From the IDE:

     

     

    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?

    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;

    you can try this and not need use none component in your app 

    
... you use it in Any Unit

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

uses
  uMyTaskDialogHelper;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if TaskDialogX.MyShow('My title', 'My caption', 'My text', [tcbOk, tcbCancel]) = 1 then ...
end;

     

    TY so much, that's what I need! ❤️

    Isn't this a VCL styles bug? Won't happen with plain windows theme. 

    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"! 😁
