Changes in Delphi from version to version?

[Ian Branch 141]

Hi Guys,

Is there any kind of master/reference list around that details what has changed between Delphi versions?

I am looking at an older library and the compile messages are saying things like..

[dcc32 Warning] xxxxx.pas: W1000 Symbol 'TImageIndex' is deprecated: 'Use System.UITypes.TImageIndex'

and

[dcc32 Warning] xxxxx.pas: W1000 Symbol 'TScrollStyle' is deprecated: 'Use System.UITypes.TScrollStyle'

and

[dcc32 Warning] xxxxx.pas: W1000 Symbol 'ThemeServices' is deprecated: 'Use StyleServices'

amongst others.

when were they introduced?

I have come across this issue many other times when working older code.

 

Regards & TIA,

Ian

There is no definitive guide to this. Consult this thread as a starting point

Hi Sherlock,

Thanks for that.  I was afraid that would be the case.  I only have Rio installed so searching back through isn't an option.  Sigh!

I'll try one of the other links mentioned in the thread.

Regards,

There is List of Delphi language features and version in which they were introduced/deprecated

Hi Boris,

Thanks for that.  It is a big step forward from where I was.

Knowing the version where things changed doesn't influence how you resolve the warnings

Hi David,

Agreed, but knowing where they change means I can insert conditionals relevant to the Delphi version.

If you don't have those versions, you don't need to do that.
