It's in Known Packages as Embarcadero Designer IDE Package as C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bin\designide270.bpl in the registry... I guess I change it there?

nevermind found this in the registry editor: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\Known IDE Packages

where do you find this?

The issue now... is it still shows up in my Get IT package manager as if I didn't install the patch update 😕

So Delphi, in order for this issue to become a big deal, more people will have to report this issue: Sync status from internal system, internal issue closed on Nov 22, 2022 by Marco Cantù with comment: While the IDE could provide better errors in such a case, if a component in a third party project shows an AV at every compilation, it seems the issue is in the component code – it doesn't happen with other components, to our knowledge. Please check with the original author (if it's not your code) or ask for someone to check the specific code.. The only way they will accept there is a Access Violation is if this happens to more than just one person and other components. With any other component, mainly copy my setups in https://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/7842-replicable-w-source-why-do-i-always-get-access-violation-every-time-i-rebuild-any-component-current-solution-is-to-restart-delphi-why/?do=findComment&comment=65699 and I'm sure you'll get a Access Violation with any other component using a single instance of the IDE. It's going to take more than one person with this issue for it to become a issue.

Hi, Can you mix VCL and FMX? Cause I need to be able to use or replicate Vcl.Controls.TWinControl and be able to handle HWND (windows handles) in FMX.

I did find FMX.Controls.Win which isn't in the online documentation. Here is this: { TWinControl } /// <summary> /// Wrapper for FMX.Controls.TControl for using native controls /// </summary> TWinControl = class(TControl) private FWindowProc: TWndMethod; private FParentWindow: HWND; FWinControls: TList; FDefWndProc: Pointer; FHandle: HWND; FObjectInstance: Pointer; function PrecedingWindow(const Control: TWinControl): HWND; procedure SetParentWindow(const Value: HWND); procedure UpdateShowing; protected /// <summary> /// Return HWND handle to the component /// </summary> function GetHandle: HWND; virtual; /// <summary> /// Set the FMX parent to the component /// </summary> procedure SetParent(const AParent: TFmxObject); reintroduce; virtual; /// <summary> /// Return the parent /// </summary> function GetParent: TFmxObject; virtual; /// <summary> /// WndProc procedure for this control /// </summary> procedure WndProc(var Message: TMessage); virtual; /// <summary> /// Create native WindowHandle for control /// </summary> procedure CreateHandle; virtual; /// <summary> /// Fill the structure using default parameters /// </summary> procedure CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams); virtual; /// <summary> /// Abstract method that would be call in CreateHandle method /// </summary> procedure CreateWnd; virtual; abstract; /// <summary> /// Destroy the handle and all child handles if it exist /// </summary> procedure DestroyHandle; virtual; /// <summary> /// Call Win API method for destroing handle from window /// </summary> procedure DestroyWindowHandle; virtual; /// <summary> /// Return parents handle if exist. In other case return components handle /// </summary> function GetTopParentHandle: HWND; /// <summary> /// Procedure for calling MakeObjectInstance /// </summary> procedure MainWndProc(var Message: TMessage); /// <summary> /// Pointer to default WndProc /// </summary> property DefWndProc: Pointer read FDefWndProc write FDefWndProc; /// <summary> /// Property for providing acceess to FHandle field /// </summary> property WindowHandle: HWND read FHandle write FHandle; /// <summary> /// Method for sync Bounds between FMX and native control. /// </summary> procedure DoMatrixChanged(Sender: TObject); override; /// <summary> /// Method for process of MouseActivate message /// </summary> procedure DoMouseActivate; virtual; /// <summary> /// method for getting decision about focus setting /// </summary> procedure DoSetFocus; virtual; public constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); overload; override; constructor CreateParented(ParentWindow: HWND); class function CreateParentedControl(ParentWindow: HWND): TWinControl; destructor Destroy; override; function HandleAllocated: Boolean; procedure SetBounds(ALeft, ATop, AWidth, AHeight: Integer); reintroduce; virtual; procedure UpdateControlState; property Handle: HWND read GetHandle; property ParentWindow: HWND read FParentWindow write SetParentWindow; /// <summary> /// Call Win API method update /// </summary> procedure Update; virtual; property WindowProc: TWndMethod read FWindowProc write FWindowProc; property Parent: TFmxObject read GetParent write SetParent; end; Would this work and if so, how do incorporate this into my FMX project?

I'm starting to get fed up with FMX... since the VCL version works just fine.. I was hoping to convert the VCL to FMX so that I can start using Skia4Delphi.... I've got the component running without errors... but since I used FeditorFormClass.Create(NIL); instead of being able to use FeditorFormClass.CreateParented(HWND(parent)); ........ It just shows a blank screen with no form on it! I hate to have to figure out CreateWindowEx just so that I can create a parented FMX version 😞 It looks like I've got many more days of scratching my head and beating the walls. I can only imagine a large project converting from VCL to FMX... the enormous feat that would be.

procedure TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter(index:integer;value: double); VAR isb:integer; sNum:single; begin WriteLog('TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter(index:' + index.ToString + ' value:' + value.ToString); for isb:=0 to 2 do if index = ID_CUTOFF+isb then begin WriteLog('FScrollBars[' + isb.ToString + '].Value:=round(100*value)'); sNum := round(100*value); WriteLog('sNum = ' + sNum.ToString); FScrollBars[isb].Value:=sNum; WriteLog('AFTER FScrollBars[isb].Value:=sNum;'); end; WriteLog('TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter END'); end; https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/UAthenaVSTForm.pas#L149-L164 You can find all the source code here: https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/tree/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3 WriteLog uses CodeSite Express... CakeWalk by BandLabs crashes on FScrollBars[isb].Value:=sNum; The VCL version does not crash but also uses FScrollBars[isb].Position:=round(100*value); Your help is much appreciated!

Solved: procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); IS in the source code... but on the form component it is not assigned to the procedure!

okay.. it isn't the value or sNum... It's FScrollBars[isb] something about FScrollBars[isb] crashes it... cause I called: procedure TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter(index:integer; dvalue: double); VAR isb:integer; sNum:single; begin WriteLog('TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter(index:' + index.ToString + ' dvalue:' + dvalue.ToString); for isb:=0 to 2 do if index = ID_CUTOFF+isb then begin WriteLog('FScrollBars[' + isb.ToString + '].Value:=(100*value)'); //sNum := round(100*dvalue); sNum := 100*dvalue; WriteLog('FScrollBars[isb].BeginUpdate'); FScrollBars[isb].BeginUpdate; WriteLog('sNum = ' + sNum.ToString); FScrollBars[isb].Value:=sNum; WriteLog('FScrollBars[isb].EndUpdate'); FScrollBars[isb].EndUpdate; WriteLog('AFTER FScrollBars[isb].Value:=sNum;'); end; WriteLog('TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter END'); end; It crashes right after WriteLog('FScrollBars[isb].BeginUpdate');

I'm starting to guess I need to convert Int64 to Single... opps Is there a directive I need to enable for Delphi to catch that before I compile it?? --okay that isn't what I thought it was... still stumped. I'm now thinking procedure TFormAthenaVST.UpdateEditorParameter(index:integer;value: double); the value needs a rename??

How does FMX TForm know who is the child or parent of a form?

I'm trying to find a automatic solution that will force Delphi to reload a design time package every time the project that contains that component loads. Anyone know of a solution?

Okay. Reported here: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-40029 ^ please up vote this issue, if you find that you can repeat it also!

Found a 2nd solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10139252/how-can-i-load-an-updated-component-package-without-restarting-the-ide I'm still looking for a AUTOMATIC solution... not something you have to do extra things to solve.

The other solution found was to remove the component from https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/UAthenaVSTForm.fmx then go make changes to the project https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/PianoComponent_Install/PackageComponent_PianoKeyboard.dproj go back to project https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/Athena.dproj then now you have to put the component back on the form, align it where you want it on the form, make changes to the component, etc. So much extra work to get the component right again and Delphi suppose to be fast and efficient programming! This major bug needs to get fixed ... it's repeatable! Any ideas or work around that doesn't require removing the component from the project that uses it? When Delphi saves... I wonder if it saves any linkage to the old code?? when you open it again... there goes the access violation? Maybe there is a way to force Delphi to reload all components before opening project?

It's easy to replicate. Note: I use right click to clean, right click to build, right click to install, right click to uninstall. I double left click to select either the Windows 32 bit or Windows 64 bit platforms in the view of the Project Group. Build both Windows 32 and Windows 64 platforms and install the windows 32 bit version (Delphi won't let you install the 64 bit version) of this component: https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/PianoComponent_Install/PackageComponent_PianoKeyboard.dproj save all and close the component project open project https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/Athena.dproj then open up https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/UAthenaVSTForm.fmx You should see the piano component is there. Now ... save all and close all. Go back to the project and open https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/PianoComponent_Install/PackageComponent_PianoKeyboard.dproj uninstall the component now... make changes to line 249 by changing it from https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/PianoComponent_Install/UPianoKeyboard.pas#L249 0: Canvas.Fill.Color := TAlphaColorRec.White; to 0: Canvas.Fill.Color := TAlphaColorRec.Orange; after making the changes.. save all, then clean for both the windows 32 bit and windows 64 bit platforms... build both windows 32 bit and windows 64 bit platforms of the project and install this component again from https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/PianoComponent_Install/PackageComponent_PianoKeyboard.dproj save all and close this project... go back to the project and open https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/Athena.dproj now open https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/UAthenaVSTForm.fmx You'll get Access Violation every single time! (It's repeatable) The only solution I found was to restart Delphi. You'll get Access Violation and the form fmx will not show up, but you'll see the source code. Proof above it's repeatable.

'FMX.Consts' implicitly imported into package 'PackageComponent_PianoKeyboard' I've read these articles, but still can't understand what to do with all of those above... I've tried adding them to my uses clause, but that doesn't reduce their numbers. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1215664/is-implicitly-imported-always-a-bad-thing-in-delphi-packages https://rvelthuis.blogspot.com/2017/08/implicitly-imported-units-in-package.html I think I might have to add something to requires... but I don't know how to search for what I need to add anything to requires. Here's the open source link to the FMX component that I translated from VCL: https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/tree/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/PianoComponent_Install Thank you for any help in advance!

Out of desperation, I added to reference for requires fmx.dcp and it compiles without those warnings... Odd... I used "Component New" in Delphi 11.0 Enterprise ... it should have added that to the package when I told it I was building for FireMonkey.

Hi, I've seen probably a program that claims to be able to do this, but I don't believe in automation, because I won't learn anything. I would rather manually do this by hand. Is there a complete guide on converting VCL to FMX ?? I am working on a open source project and I want to be able to convert it to FMX. (https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/tree/Delphi-11.0) The main reason is so I can then use Skia4Delphi because of this answer from Skia4Delphi: https://github.com/skia4delphi/skia4delphi/discussions/178 Thank you for your help!

i found part of the answer... now to search deeper: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15590734/fmx-handle-of-controls https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/FMX.Platform.Win https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/FMX.Controls

The only problem is that this is a Plugin for a Windows DAW that would be passing the handle of the Window or View. I need to be able to handle HWND. It will also support Mac and Linux DAWs.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to search only for FMX information and do not want to see any VCL information. This should help me better convert VCL to FMX. Thanks!
