We use stateful DataSnap servers for some business logic tasks and also to provide clientdataset data. If we have to update the server to modify a business rule, we copy the new version into a new empty folder and register it (depending on the Delphi version, just by launching or by running the TRegSvr utility). We can do this even whi...
Delphi 2010 reportedly supports gestures for user interaction (mouse or touch interface), primarily through the Windows 7 gesture API. Will supporting gestures inherently incur a major performance hit? In other words, is most of the gesture-related processing due to detection, or response to, the gesture? By "response to", I mean the ...

I just downloaded the Delphi 2010 iso from my SA-subscription and wanted to install it in addition to my other Delphi installations on my notebook computer. Unfortunately it refuses to install because the machine is running Windows 2000. Is it possible somehow to get it to install it anyway? Or is there a technical reason why it might n...
At the moment I give delphi2010 a trial and found the TValue type of the Rtti Unit. TValue have very interessting features, but I can't find a way to assign an interface. I try the following program Project1; uses Classes, SysUtils, Rtti; var list : IInterfaceList; value : TValue; begin // all these assignments works value...
I just discovered that the Delphi TRibbonComboBox doesn't have an item index, and it should. I'd like to fix this locally at least for the unit, and I think Delphi 2009 added a way to introduce new methods to an outside class without having to descent from the class, but I can't remember how. Is there a way to add 'function ItemIndex: ...

I'm looking for a free and up to date encryption library for Delphi 2010 that implements RSA and AES (Rijndael). I want a free library because I plan to write and publish some sample code that will use it.

I am currently using Delphi 2006 a few days ago I downloaded a copy of Delphi 2010. How stable is Delphi 2010? Should I wait until the first service pack comes out before moving to this version?

The TScrollBox control looks like it's supposed to basically be a TPanel with scroll bars attached along the bottom and the right edge. I tried placing one on a form, but no matter what I do, I can't make the scroll bars actually appear, either at design-time or at runtime. Does anyone know how to make them show up? ...

EDIT 1: I use the Resume command to start the thread - as it i...
Hi I have been using this function in Delphi 2006, but now with D2010 it throws an error. I think it is related to the switch to Unicode.

Hello, I gather some experience with the trial version of delphi 2010. I am looking for a simple debug visualizer, because the sample debug visualizers are not part of the trail. I do a lot with the new rtti type TValue and TValue.ToString can't be call from the debugger (results in an exception), so my idea is to write a debug vis...
