  1. Hello, When I set per column font properties (bold, font color...) and run it on a monitor with scale > 100 %, this column is drawn too small. I have reported it, if you want to test and vote, please here: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-36849 If there is a workaround, please let me know...

    Delph 11 - TDBGrid + HDPI monitor + per column font

    Setting Grid.ParentFont to false seems to help.

    Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria?

    Ctrl+Shift+Number to place a bookmark and Ctrl+Number to go to bookmark is a bit faster. I am using AutoHotKey, which allows to remap pressed keys, so I have created a simple script, which remaps Ctrl+Shift+Number and Ctrl+Number to its Ctrl+K/Ctrl+Q counterparts. If you want to try, I have attached this script; it should be put in AutoHotkey.ahk. This works for "IDE classic" key mapping in Delphi. Bookmarks.txt

    IDE being destroyed by new versions

    Should this field even find tPanel? Because there is another field where I can type component name:

    Which version BDE

    Hmm, you are right, in Delphi 7 probably shortstring was that string type with 255 chars limit.
  6. Vandrovnik

    Which version BDE

    It depends - Delphi 7 did not support Unicode, while newest version do; all char and string variables may need attention. SizeOf(char) = 2 now, strings are not limited to 255 chars...

    IDE being destroyed by new versions

    It makes no sense to complain here. Found bugs should be reported on https://quality.embarcadero.com

    Firebird 3 Client Installation

    Many = 3 in this case, I have no problem with it. When customer has a new computer, he can just start the application from network share, there is no need to install it. It is also much easier to update FB client, when you can replace its files in one place and do not have to make changes on all computers.

    Choice of Windows text rendering engines

    I would also vote for DirectWrite. When I switched to Direct2D and DirectWrite, I have used https://github.com/CMCHTPC/DelphiDX12 instead of Emba's units, which were buggy and did not contain "new" things (like printing support for Direct2D).

    FB3.0 SQL

    As far as I know, Firebird does not support PIVOT. If you really need a column for each WHNO, you can first use a query to get distinct WHNO values and then use these values to create second query, which would compute the values.
  11. Can you download these audio samples after installation from your server(s)? The same way as offline maps are downloaded by apps... And probably stored to SD cards instead of internal storage (user is asked where to store them).
  12. There is a link to his homepage and there he has https://stevemorse.org/jcal/jcal.html If you display source code of the page, there are javascript routines, may be it is enough to rewrite them to Delphi?
  13. What about https://stevemorse.org/hebrewcalendar/hebrewcalendar.htm ?

    Firebird - Sum of total fields from different tables ?

    SELECT (SELECT SUM(a.Total) FROM Table1 a) + (SELECT SUM(a.Total) FROM Table2 a) + (SELECT SUM(a.Total) FROM Table3 a) as GrandTotal FROM RDB$Database

    Bookmarks dead?

    They can create "Bookmarks HDPI" without the compatibility with older versions, if it is easier for them...

    Firebird 4.0 Unknown sql type err.

    If your app is not able to handle new datatypes introduced in Firebird 4, you can use DataTypeCompatibility = 3.0 in firebird.conf You can also typecast the result of the multiplication to something you can handle.

    simple PDF editing need

    Using Pdfium (free), you can convert PDF page to bitmap, add what you need and print this bitmap. Synopse contains SynPdf.pas, which allows you to create PDF (from that bitmap, for example).
  20. In the past, I was also happy with one version for many years, but once you use Delphi to create an application for Android and you want to keep this application up to date in Google Play, you probably need this yearly new bells - without it, Google Play will not allow you to upload updates for older API.
  21. They probably don't return money. In February 2019, when I complained loudly about bugs in Delphi 10.3 and 10.3.1, I got a small discount for next subscription, which I bought later in 2019.
  22. I guess they do not have any free resources to backport changes to older versions. In that situation, I prefer current situation - use resources to patch and improve just the current version and don't split resources over two or more versions.

    Bookmarks in Delphi 11 Alexandria

    In classic keymapping: Ctrl + K, <number> - set bookmark Ctrl + Q, <number> - go to bookmark For me it works only with numbers on the main part of keyboard and it does not work on numeric part of the keyboard.
