I need something like the vcl listview, where I have multiple columns, and can select also multiple rows. I tried: 1. Listbox: No real rowselect, weird to handle multiple columns 2. Listview: No columns, no multi select 3. Grid: No multi select Is there no control out there simlar the vcl listview? I checked on github, and googled, but had no success. I cannot believe that such "normal" listview does not exist for firemonkey.

I have a treeview with checkboxes and icons (TRzCheckTree). I need to display beneth the node label/text another line of text, but fail to do so. Is there any way to show 2 lines of text for each node without screwing up the icons/checkboxes?

Does anybody know of an open source html parser which support xpath expressions and can parse the html content from a string or stream? I tried the HtmlParserEx from https://github.com/radprogrammer/htmlparser but it only understand simple xpath expressions like //*[@class="description"] but does not work properly using //*[@class="description" and contains(text(),"whatever")] (returning wrong data)

I need to send data back from a python script. This, for example, could be a list of strings, separated by newline. What is the preferred way to send such data back to delphi? 1. Using a module, and its Events property with the onExecute event and process the data or 2. Using the TPythonInputOutput and the onSendUnitData event and process the data?

I have some to bytecode compiled python scripts. Is there a way to run them via ExecFile or other functions?

Thank you, good to know. But I dont create the module in the main unit, where the python component is on the form. I create it instead when another form is created, in the formcreate event and thought I must free it also in the formclose event. So how shall hat work when I dont free the module? It would get always created again when the form is created.

I have a python engine on form 1, dropped to the form, which is working fine. Now I create a module in code in another unit: module:=TPythonModule.create(nil); module.Engine:=GetPythonEngine; module.ModuleName:='delphicallback'; module.OnInitialization:=InitPythonModule; module.Initialize; The InitPythonModule event contains just: TPythonModule(Sender).ClearMethods; TPythonModule(Sender).AddDelphiMethod('callback',delphi_callback,'callback(name, value)->value'); This works, I execute a python script which send data back to the module "delphicallback". All is fine so far, I get the data from the python script. When I close the form, I free the module with module.free; Still all is fine. But when I then try to open the form again, I get the error "No python engine was created" when it creates the module. What did I miss?

I need to modify forms the moment they are created, before they are shown. And there are many forms, so i cant use the onCreate event. I know I can check the Screen.Forms[], but I would like to use an event, so the code to check the forms array is only called when needed. Is this somehow possible? I currently use such test code: var i:Integer; begin Result := nil; for i := 0 to Screen.FormCount - 1 do begin if Screen.Forms[i].Handle = AHandle then begin Result := Screen.Forms[i]; break; end; end; end; begin if (Msg.message = WM_DWMNCRENDERINGCHANGED) then begin f := GetFormByHandle(Msg.hwnd); if Assigned(f) then begin // Process form here end; end; end; I know the WM_DWMNCRENDERINGCHANGED is not made for this, but it at least seems to work. I was hoping there is a proper way to do that, but I had no luck to find anything related.

Lets say I have a modal form , which I display with myform.ShowModal; How can I close this form when the user click outside the form? The form wont have a caption, and is just showing a listview and no buttons. The user can click an entry in the listview, and the form close. But the form should also close when the user click outside the form.

I would try that if I could install it. I tried installing my registered 12.2 and it popup the registration wizard and when I enter my EDN login and serial, I only get an error that I have to enter a valid serial number in order to install Delphi 12.2. It looks like once the license is expired, I cant even install older Delphi versions. That sucks! I paid for a product which I cannot install, funny.

And it came out just short after my subscription expired... I downloaded the patch from getit. When I start it, it tells me that it will uninstall 12.2 (I cancelled that). I assume that after it uninstalls 12.2, the installer will tell me that it cant install the patch because my subscription is expired, and I might end up with no more delphi installation. Am I right?

Thanks, I used a CardPanel and its fine for now.

Beside TJvWizard, which looks a little dated, does anybody know other free/open source components to create a wizard/multi-step form?

So they assume that user using the Pro version do not create large projects? I think its more a money thing again.

So the Delphi 64 bit compiler and 64 bit lsp are only in the expensive enterprise and architect versions? Why is that?
