Have you tried unit Unit2; interface uses Unit1; type TControlHelper = class helper(Unit1.TControlHelper) for TControl end; implementation end. (Haven't tried myself, but logically, I think it would work)

How does Rapid.TList<STRING> compare to THashSet<STRING> (only for checking if an entry exists in the list or not)? It'll be called thousands of times (the list itself will be pretty small - 5 or 10 entries)

I have this contact in India who specializes in Delphi-to-COBOL translations: Ran Slirpa (or Loof Lirpa as he's also known). I can put you in contact with him, if you wish.

CONST [ref] is on the surface the same as VAR but it allows a CLASS variable of a descendant to be passed. So where a VAR TObject only allows variables declared as TObject, a CONST [ref] TObject parameter passes a reference (like VAR does) to the instance pointer, but allows all descendants of TObject to be passed in. This eliminates the issue with a typeless VAR to FreeAndNIL also accepting non-classes.

True, but then you'd have to have the full PNG and JPG decoding library included (as well as all other image formats decoding libraries) instead of just checking the header (which, granted, wouldn't allow you to check if the file is loadable - only that it claims to be what the file extension says). It all depends on what you really want to check and how extensive the check should be.

That won't detect a .PNG file with .JPG content (it will merely detect that it is some form of picture).

Something like this (for Image Formats - the ones I detect for): Using a TBytes Helper "StartsWith" and "Contains" - but should give you an idea. Not 100% but enough for my usage, and should allow you to adapt the methodology to your own needs.

Unfortunately it's an uphill battle. You can't win. Whatever you do, they will find a way around it, as you cannot differentiate between legal individuals and a mass-request from different IPs. They can hit you from such diverse places as Australia, India, Brazil, Germany and Canada at the same time, and you have no way of knowing if they are from the same person. Is there a pattern in their requests? Do they go alphabetically? If so, you can do heurestics detection (but they can circumvent this by going random). You can also limit the speed with which you accept requests (ie. a minimum of 1 min. between requests), but they will soon detect this and space it out to a random value between 1:10 and 1:30, and you risk annoying your legitimate users.

Ooooh - someone else had the same idea 🙂

Which is why I suggest a mode that works internally in 96dpi but shows (and allows edit) in the monitor's native DPI. Yes, it will mean that you are restricted to placing components on a 2x2 grid if your monitor is at 200% and the grid will be unsymmetrical if you're at 150%, but since all components will be locked into the same grid, you can still align the positions and sizes.

They should do what we did in our designer. Always work internally (and store) values for 96dpi (100%) in the designer, only scaling it up for display. The issue comes if you scale from (f.ex.) 150% to 200% and then back to 100%. But you can always scale correctly if you go via 100%, ie. to go from 150% to 200%, you go 150% -> 100% -> 200%, then you can always get back to 100%. That is my wish - An IDE designer mode that works in 100% (96dpi) but scales the visual designer to the monitor's DPI (yes, that will affect your pixel-perfect alignment in 150% during design, but it will be pixel-perfect in whatever scale the final monitor is at, since everything can always be consistently scaled UP from 100% to any DPI). And if your .DFM is stored in 100% values and you start the program on a 150% monitor and then move it to a 200%, it will be scaled back to 100% before being scaled up to 200%.

You mean, like Delphi?

Thank you very much, Remy. I have now come a bit longer, but it still fails (maybe I'm feeding it the wrong "secret key"). I have this code now: but it fails in IdIMAP4.PAS at this line: And ASASL.Service = 'XOAUTH2' and S = 'user=<MailBox@domain>'#1'auth=Bearer <Secret Key>'#1#1 and AClient.LastCmdResult.Code = 'NO' When I generated my tokens/keys according to Outlook documentation, I got two values. I have tried with both of them, and they both fail at this spot. Is there a way where I can generate the token needed in code somehow, or do I need to use the value I was given via the online web system?
