Works for me. Have you tried ticking on the boxes, and then unticking it? Or logging out/in again?

I don't know how to reproduce. This here runs fine: program Project1; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} uses System.JSON; const the_resp = '{"msg": "you get ... 100 % satisfaction"}'; the_resp2 = '{"msg": "you get \"... 100 % satisfaction\""}'; DEF_INDENT = 2; var doc: TJSONObject; formatted: String; begin doc := TJsonObject.ParseJSONValue(the_resp) as TJSONObject; formatted := doc.Format(DEF_INDENT); WriteLn(formatted); doc := TJsonObject.ParseJSONValue(the_resp2) as TJSONObject; formatted := doc.Format(DEF_INDENT); WriteLn(formatted); end.

I remember it did work by using DocumentationInsight XML comments, you had something like <remarks> See the <see cref="App.Fizz.Buzz.pas|TFizzBuzz.init">init() method of TFizzBuzz</see> for more info </remarks> where you could then click on init() method of TFizzBuzz and the IDE would take you directly there. If I recall correctly, that was removed in either XE5 or XE7 and Documentation Insight has to be purchased separately. These days, the IDE still offers you to click on it, but clicking will do nothing except freeze the IDE for a few seconds 😪 A possible workaround is to specify the absolute path (including Unit & class name) so to make the references work. Of course, they stop working if you rename either unit or class: 2021-07-09-08-49-29.mp4

Not saying that this site is not reliable, but I would always refrain from 3rd party magazines in that case. The official CPU support list from Microsoft can be found at http://aka.ms/CPUlist

Stupid question: Is it running inside a VM or directly on real hardware? When I installed it inside a Hyper-V machine, it lacked 3D acceleration and a lot of effects (transparency, animations, rounded corners) were missing.

I can only speak from very positive experience, and the fact that I'm doing HMI software that runs 24/7, for months. So leaks (of all kind) are a big concern to me. For sure you can have memory, handle or GDI leaks in, for example, 3rd party GUI libraries from DLLs. But on the other side, that ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown also just registers things at ... shutdown. It's not going to help you either when you pile dead and unused objects on top of each other, just to tediously free them when the application ends.

I'm used to closing the debugging session with [Ctrl]+[F2] 😎 Memory leaks are taken care of in unit tests, DUnit can let a test fail when there's a memory leak.

I had the same use case a few months ago, and I was glad to find out that you can at least easily select, copy & paste the compiler output as text lines. Writing yourself a tool that filters the output (for example, by unit or severity) should be trivial. The extra step to select, copy & paste might be annoying, but better than nothing.

I remember taking a look at horse, but dropped the idea of using it because - back then - it looked like a lot of stuff bundled into one giant repo, i think it even had another library as a dependency. It seems they have changed that: At first sight, everything looks much more structured and clean up. I think I will take a look at it again.

You seem to be using FireDAC to access a Microsoft Access file. I don't understand the language you have on screen, but entering the terms "ace dsn jet" from your error message into an internet search engine reveals that the computer you're trying to run it on does not seem to have the necessary ODBC drivers for accessing the database file. Does installing the following help? Download Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable from Official Microsoft Download Center PS: The Windows "Sandbox" is a great feature to test if your program runs on other machines that do not have additional software installed (requires Windows Professional, I think).

So I have something very simple: A TFDConnection, a TFDTable, TDataSource and TDBGrid. Both connection and table have a property ConnectedStoredUsage: As far as I understand, I should be able to Set both connection/table to "active"/"connected" And remove the auDesignTime flag from the ConnectedStoredUsage property so that the form designer will not connect to the database, but the running application will. The problem is: Because both connection and table are not active on the form designer, their properties Connected = True and Active = True will not get saved into the DFM file! Modifying the DFM file with notepad, adding "connected = true" and "active = true" yields exactly the result I'd expect: It will not connect on the form designer, but the running application will connect. As soon as I the form is modified within the IDE, it will once again remove the Connected = True and Active = True from the connection and table. What am I missing? I'm sure this is not working as intended.

Yes, it does. But it indicates it also works the other way around, but it doesn't. I think I'll file a bug report. -- https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-34216

OmniPascal appears to be having auto-completion since 2015: However, this option does not exist for me - There is no quick fix available: Any idea what I might be missing? Code completion is working fine, by the way. Update: Turns out the file must be saved to disk first, then it's working.

FireDAC sources do come with RAD Studio, what am I missing? 🤔 However, yes, the RAD Studio documentation in general is a pretty sad sight.

In the meantime, I have found out that the file needs to be saved to disk for auto-implementation to work. I was not aware of that. 🤦‍♂️ It's the first time I'm using Omni Pascal beyond for actual compiling/running unit tests. So far, I had only used it as a simple editor to write code, then copied it back into Delphi.

Of course, but I really wonder what this property is intended for. So far, it seems you cannot use it to achieve what it advertises and is therefore broken.

Perhaps I should, yes. But I am not sure if @Wosi is still maintaining OmniPascal and I don't knonw yet if I overlooked something or if it's a bug.

Thank you for clearing this up. Absolutely. As far as I understand, an OV certificate might be sufficient for Freeware tools, but for something you sell, it seems it should most definitely be an EV one. An alternative would be using the App store which is something I am considering. Cost is a one-time fee of 100 US $ for a company developer account, after that, Microsofts infrastructure takes care of hosting, certificates and so on.

@DelphiUdIT, can you give us a product name? Sounds interesting, especially the costs. I also still struggle to understand if an EV certificate is really good for anything besides drivers. I don't have a source at hand, but I remember that Microsoft SmartScreen will automatically grant an EV signed application a higher reputation than with a regular certificate. PS: MSIX files MUST be signed, there's no way around it.

I might be missing something, but I think your topic title is misleading. An application "demands" elevation if it does so through its manifest or Windows thinks it should have elevation (for example, when it's named "setup.exe"). In your case, it's "I get a runtime exception when the app is not elevated. When it is, it appears to be fine". PS: I think the Windows "Sandbox" is a nice feature to check something out on a fresh installation. No need to roll back virtual machines.

That depends on how your application is designed. I think we once had some discussion like that here. My viewpoint is: Do what you have to be doing (like saving stuff to disk), then terminate. Skip the VCL forms destructors and all that. Just end. I vote for "Abort whatever is runnig async". Let me quote Raymond Chen (altough taken slightly out of context here): Source: When DLL_PROCESS_DETACH tells you that the process is exiting, your best bet is just to return without doing anything | The Old New Thing (microsoft.com) Source: Windows doesn't close windows when a user logs off; that's your call | The Old New Thing (microsoft.com)

I had a look at it, but never got started because it did not support my use case*. The REST api documentation seemed very ok. Example: Working with files in Microsoft Graph - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs However, I found it unnecessary difficult to get started because you had to register an "app permission" on your companies Office 365. I was able to do that (altough I have no special permissions), but still found everything around that unecessary difficult if you're not a SharePoint administrator. * I wanted to upload files to Sharepoint anonymously, which it does not support. OneDrive for Business, however, has a feature called "request files" but it seems unavailable from Graph.

Are you sure it's compiling? For me, it's always linking the same exe over and over again, even if you just change a command line argument in the debugger. But compilation, no.

I like how it took them years to realize that expertsexchange.com was generally read as "expert sex change".

In that case I'm not sure if spending too much time with TTouchKeyboard is even worth the hassle. Design your own English keyboard on a TFrame, you have full control and flexibility here.
