Num := Ord(Str[Low(Str)]) - Ord('A') + 1; Or, if you are sure your strings begin at offset 1: Num := Ord(Str[1]) - Ord('A') + 1;

Edit1.Text is string, not char. Try Edit1.Text[1] (and do not forget to test length of the text first).

The note about dinosaurs was from linked https://blogs.embarcadero.com/windows-11-a-beautiful-meteor-will-wipe-out-the-dinosaurs/ I hope there will be an easy way to install W11 without TPM (because my PC is dinosaur 🙂 ).

"If your PC doesn’t have a TPM capability then Windows 11 will be the falling rock which wipes out your beloved dinosaur hardware. " - May be linux installed on metal, created virtual machine using libvirtd + QEMU and virtualised TPM? 🙂

It sounds like a Muprhy's Law: the most useful methods are usualy declared as private.

I use OverlayBand for watermark (but I have it under other things). In current version of FastReport, images can use alpha channel and they are correctly alpha-blended; this works for PDF export if Image.Transparent is set to False and PDF export filter has Transparency set to True; for me, it does not work when I "print" the report to PdfCreator.

There are some command line switches, but I have never tried them: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/IDE_Command_Line_Switches_and_Options

I would uninstall all third party, all GetIt packages, remove IDE, delete manually what is left. Clean install, test. All GetIt packages one by one, test...

Emba could also repair their implementation...

There is another small one (missing "W"), which probably makes no problem now: in mwWide, original code: FillChar(LMapiMessageW, SizeOf(LMapiMessage), 0); please change to FillChar(LMapiMessageW, SizeOf(LMapiMessageW), 0);

Thank you for the unit! I have found a bug regarding attachments in mvAnsi mode (two times there should be TMapiFileDesc instead of TMapiFileDescW; ^ is missing in FillChar). Original code: if LAttachCount > 0 then begin GetMem(LAttachments, SizeOf(TMapiFileDescW) * LAttachCount); FillChar(LAttachments, SizeOf(TMapiFileDescW) * LAttachCount, 0); Please change to: if LAttachCount > 0 then begin GetMem(LAttachments, SizeOf(TMapiFileDesc) * LAttachCount); FillChar(LAttachments^, SizeOf(TMapiFileDesc) * LAttachCount, 0); I have also added a simple procedure SetMapiDll (on clients computers, GroupWise is installed and used. Outlook 2019, which is also installed, but not used, keeps overwriting the registry entry, so I will probably have to load directly C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\GroupWise\gwmlt1.dll there). procedure SetMapiDll(const AMapiDll: string); begin MAPIDLL:=aMapiDll; end;

In your code, I cannot see initial setting of grid.RowCount.

In design time: could you just copy whole imagelist and then delete unneeded images from it?

I vote for 3) - I am using this approach too.

But even when I put #129 in txt file (Notepad, Alt+0129) and save it, it is saved as bytes C2 81. Notepad does not display there any character, but it is present (cursor "stays" there when using arrow on keyboard).
