Has this endeavor (CPas) ended?

If I turn on hints, this is how the hint is displayed:

Can you try with Light as the initial theme?

Yes, the buttons show up as normal. Something to do with the theme and IDE foremost application

I just started with dark and the buttons are not visible. Switch to light, appear, back to dark, still present.

Switched to another application, back to IDE and buttons disappear.

At least I now know how to get the buttons to the right location.

Thanks. That placement was what I recalled.

Started the IDE this morning and the macro buttons are not present. Switched from dark to light theme and back to dark, result:

Go figure.

Confused I am.

Now I have one IDE code window with the macro controls visible and one without the controls visible.

Hello,

Delphi Delphi 10.2 Version 25.0.31059.3231

I have never used the IDE macro feature. Recently the three button controls appeared in the lower left of all code editor windows. The controls may have been in the window, not causing an issue. The controls are blocking the line and column values for the caret position. Any idea how to fix or hide the controls.

Thanks,

Mark

In my code I use dtoa and dragon4 to do these things so I can get correct values. 

What is "dragon4"?

You can start from here, they should have something for canbus (their hardware, PEAK CANBUS): https://www.peak-system.com/PCAN-Basic.239.0.html?&L=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhOuR_8C6ggMVvJKDBx08TgQbEAAYASABEgLiAvD_BwE

It has been quite a while, but I had a good experience with CANUSB.

Thank you both.

Hello,

Anyone have suggestions for hardware/software for "Controller Area Network" (CAN) bus support for Windows using VCL?

Thanks,

Mark

That will maybe buy you 30 minutes of a qualified person's time.

Hello,

Delphi-ONVIF-master is around, never used it.

I wrote some code to use ONVIF for PTZ control. Did not use the video portion of the ONVIF specifiation
For video, most cameras our customers use are MJPEG or RTSP and the video portion of ONVIF did not add any value.

At the time ONVIF PTZ compliance was...marketed but not 100%. Still made it work. 🙂

Good luck,

Mark

The existing web server without SSL/TLS could then be abandoned.

Abandoned but not removed? I assume the new web server component will have a new name.

Why?

 

Angus

I use TWSocket the most for industrial communications. Some specifications (e.g. MQTT) are optional SSL and I use TSslWSocket if the end user selects SSL.

I also use other components for mail/ftp/client and server HTTP with and without SSL.

Removing "USE_SSL", SSL will continue as an option for all components that already support non-SSL and SSL?

Any downside from removing "USE_SSL"?

5 minutes ago, Angus Robertson said:

Sure there are applications that don't need SSL/TLS so it is optional in most components, the issue is whether those components should be compatible without the SSL./TLS code to save space... 

For me, space is not an issue. SSL/TLS remaining optional is valuable to me.

1 hour ago, Angus Robertson said:

I rarely test without USE_SSL, it will disappear from the next major release since very little of the internet works without SSL/TLS nowadays and all the conditionals and extra classes make maintenance and upgrades a nightmare.

I assume low level components (TWSocket/etc.) will not be impacted. Most of my ICS use is without SSL.

And thanks for all your work on ICS.

Post a close message to the main form.

procedure PostCloseMessage(aHand:hwnd);inline;
begin
 PostMessage(aHand,WM_CLOSE,0,0);
end;

PostCloseMessage(self.handle);

SWAG, did you trying providing the full path to signtool.exe?

For 10.2, Tools/Options, at the bottom

SWAG would be to capture the key in OnKeyDown test for the key if a VK_ADD, set the KeyDown(var Key: Word; to 0 and add the + to the edit field.

Same for the other -/etc. keys.

And you might need to turn on KeyPreview for the form.

Sorry about it, then. I really thought these methods are already in 10.2.

No problem. Looking at the 10.2 code, it just exits on error with the result as nil.

I wonder if I could/should write a console app in 10.4 and call it from the 10.2 created app.

Thanks, it is not. I have 10.4 but use 10.2. I think I have 10.4 installed on a VM somewhere.

The 10.4 JSON parser uses some newer methods in other units and messing with that is not appealing.
