Answering my own question: I found it useful to use https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Sydney/e/index.php?search=TRect&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&fulltext=1 I should have known! Any other ideas welcomed!

I've moved it to https://github.com/War3Evo/RMSVST3/blob/Delphi-11.0/FMX_AthenaVST3/VST3SDK/UVST3Controller.pas#L304-L311

Anyone in this topic area find any other useful information?

Hi, Anyone know if it's possible to have a Delphi Enterprise and Developer license on the same computer for two different versions? Thank you in advance! P.S. I have Delphi 11 Enterprise and can't afford either subscription or new price. I was thinking of buying the full price developer version instead.

I'm in a discussion with Skia4Delphi about this and was wondering if anyone here has tackled this problem? Vinícius Felipe Botelho Barbosa says it's nearly impossible and well, I'm curious if anyone has done the impossible? I have the Delphi 11.0 Enterprise Edition. https://github.com/skia4delphi/skia4delphi/discussions/176#discussioncomment-4097532 Thanks for your help in advance!

I'm just worried "Developer license" will downgrade all previous versions like my Enterprise license did... When I upgraded from 10.4 developer to Delphi 11.0 Enterprise... all previous versions of Delphi upgraded to Enterprise. I'm wondering if I install Delphi 12 Developer... would it downgrade all previous versions to developer?

That's a bit confusing. Can I have 11.0 Enterprise and 11.2 Developer on the same computer?

Hi, How to uses {IF EXISTS}CodeSiteLogging;{ELSE}; I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this... if the library CodeSiteLogging doesn't exists, I still want the component to be able to work for others whom do not have it. any ideas?

Tried to install via GetIt: CodeSite 5.4.1 (error can't load CodeSiteExpressPkg_Design280.bpl when starting Delphi 11.0) any suggestions? Reloaded Delphi 11.0 earlier got that message. After writing this post, I loaded Delphi 11.0 again.. and the error went away??

Uninstalled Skia4Delphi. Update still hangs on Replacing lib/win32/debug/Vcl.Menus.dcu

I found code on GitHub showing this... I'm wondering if it is a mistake or is it real? https://github.com/War3Evo/Delphi-Password-Manager/blob/master/DataModule.pas#L83 In advance, Thank you! If it does exists for Delphi, can you please point me to documentation for other data types for sqlite for Delphi, please?

I want to verify this information is true or not? A email to me about the subscription policy: "As per Embarcadero policy, maintenance is a continuous circle that you have to renew every year and there cannot be a lapse between maintenance and after expiration, you have to renew the subscription the very next day . As you did not renew last year, if you chose to renew then you have to go for the 2-year option. I have also added a 5% discount in the attached quote. If you renew it for 1 year, it will again expire within 2 months (COMING OCTOBER). Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!" So, if you buy Delphi... If you lapse in renewals, you must pay for previous years??

The only 3rd party I have installed is Skia4Delphi. I can try to uninstall that when I get home to see if that fixes the updating problem.

Hi, I'm trying to think of the best structure for a offline rhyming dictionary database. I'm willing to make it a open source offline dictionary, but need some ideas on how to best create the dictionary without bogging it down or making it bloated. Thank you in advance!

I don't know why I couldn't find this with Bing nor Google? Anyhow, this is the documentation I was looking for!

The code below is from another Delphi programmer whom owns Delphi Berlin: procedure TDM.FDConnectionAfterConnect(Sender: TObject); begin FDConnection.ExecSQL( 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ENTRY( '+ 'Title VARCHAR2(60) NOT NULL, '+ 'UserN VARCHAR2(40), '+ 'Passw CHAR(64) NOT NULL, '+ 'URLpa VARCHAR2(100), '+ 'NickN VARCHAR2(20), '+ 'CustN VARCHAR2(20), '+ 'Notes VARCHAR2(400), '+ 'DateC DATE, '+ 'Icon IMAGE)'); end; What I'm trying to figure out is if IMAGE is in Delphi or not. Also, there's a DATE datatype? Is that also from Delphi? I just wonder if Delphi has a Datatype that I can't seem to find on the Internet. SQLite 3 Delphi datatype IMAGE and DATE?

I will look into both of your suggestions and update this post on the actions taken.

SFTP and SSH commands are natively supported by Windows 10 version 1803 and Windows 11 now. You can use my Windows Command Prompt Pipeline to interface with the two commands without "bringing up" command.com terminal Window. You'll have to build your own commands as I haven't created a interface with it yet.

Time and time again, I'm finding libraries in c++ language I want to use and nothing in Delphi. I have to be a Delphi expert to translate c++ libraries for Delphi and the time it takes to convert. Time is money. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure on all the technicalities, but all the plug-ins I own (over 200) are just 1 DLL file. The VST3 files are DLL file renamed to *.VST3. Do you think a DLL can call another DLL? So, I assume you need to keep them in just one file.

If you can think how to make it a all in one library, then maybe? It's a plug-in for DAWs. VST3 plug-in.

Let me clarify what I'm trying to do... VST 3 SDK. The plugins created are all in one file, so building a c++ library, how is Delphi suppose to make calls as a dll to a dll inside itself? https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk I will not install and use Microsoft Visual anything. I hated Visual Basic and I'm sure I'll hate Visual C++... Reason I want Builder c++, as I do love the Delphi IDE. I have a copy of Delphi Enterprise 11, but that was a fluke. I happened to win allot of money in Las Vegas, NV and wanted to see Delphi with Linux, so I bought the Enterprise Edition. Everyone says I can't just download the community edition of Builder C++ to run along side Delphi. I'm a open source developer. I can't afford any more licenses and stuck at Delphi 11 Enterprise. I got a email from a Embarcadero employee saying no matter how long I go without upgrades, that they will demand back pay if I ever request a renewal subscription. 😥 I'm currently at 2 subscriptions on back pay?? 😢 Must be a Enterprise agreement that I didn't read? 😥 I'm forever stuck at Delphi 11 Enterprise. 😭 So, my recommendation is to never buy anything higher than developer edition! With this knowledge, how do I get started with Builder C++ while being unemployed? I want to make money, but I've never made any money with Delphi. I'm thinking, Builder C++... I'm have a chance to make money with that! VST3 plugins is the way I can make money. No VST3 plug-in SDK kits for Delphi. 😭

Makes me think c++ Builder should be included with Delphi, instead of selling it separately.

Hi, No. I don't want another way to manage windows firewall. I want to have my own firewall program and not use or interface windows firewall! I would like to route the traffic to my application preferably in front of windows firewall to handle everything there. Like a "PRE" firewall. I would rather continue to allow my anti-virus to handle the firewall duties that it does, but I still want to have Overall control over the final say. I don't want any other program doing this as Netbalancer currently just crashes alot. A added bonus would be able to also control how much each of those traffic can flow in or out. So, any ideas how I can go about to build this application. Do note, I will be creating a Github.com directory for this project and make it freeware to all. Sincerely, Al T.

Hi, I'm a freeware developer and have created "Shred'N'Burn" using Delphi 11.0 In the credits of this application, I give credit to Delphi 11. It took 5 days for Google Play to approve this application. Main purpose: If you don't know it, most operating systems don't wipe your files before they delete them. So, Shred'N'Burn utility can wipe the whole storage space by filling it up with random data. Hint: This Program can take quite a while to run depending on space. I have about 90gb of free space and I've got a Pixel 6. It took roughly an 30 minutes to just get a random.txt file created then several hours to fill the space. This isn't a quick job and can get some phones pretty hot. There is so many apps that claim they can do this without proof of work. My application does request permissions to use external storage so it can create a folder called "filler" in the downloads directory. There it will create a random.txt file that you can view while it's being made. After that file is created, it will begin to copy it over and over until it fills up all the free storage space. Once it reaches the end of free storage space, it will automatically clean up by deleting those files. You can watch the process using any file manager. The process isn't hidden from a users view. I'll be adding more features, but I really wanted to get this out there for a few of my friends. One of the major features I plan to add is throttling because it can make some phones get hot. It's in open testing, so if you use it and have problems, please report them here. Thank you! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.embarcadero.ShredNBurn
