Does anyone else have this problem or is my Delphi cursed somehow? I'll have a bunch of forms and files open in tabs in the editor and I'll be typing away and then suddenly everything stops - my .pas file has, seemingly at random, become read-only. Sometimes I can just right-click the tab at the top and uncheck "Read-Only" and contin...
We are just migrating from D7 to D2010 and are having a debate about cleaning up the project paths. We have a number of directories with a large number of Pas files that are included on some project paths, but only a few of the files are actually used by any single project. One option is to eliminate the project paths completely and onl...
How to prevent the code formatter from doing this? It seems that it moves casts with "as" always a line up. Is this a bug, or is there any setting in the formatter? // Before formatting: procedure TMyFrame.WidthEditChange(Sender: TObject); begin (Properties as TMyProperties).Width := (Sender as TJvSpinEdit).AsInteger; end; // After ...
I have a Delphi 2010 ADO program that has a DBGrid. Its dataset selects from an Access query. The query has a column defined as, CStr(Amount*UnitCount)+" "+Unit. The query works fine in Access. But the DBgrid refuses to show the values for this column ...
I have a String that I needed access to the first character of, so I used stringname[1]. With the unicode support this no longer works. I get an error: [DCC Error] sndkey32.pas(420): E2010 Incompatible types: 'Char' and 'AnsiChar' Example code: //vkKeyScan from the windows unit var KeyString : String[20]; MKey : Word; mkey:=vkKey...
Hi, I'm using Delphi 2010 to create a SOAP Server. The server is created as a ISAPI/NSAPI DLL. I then add an interface with some sample methods. If I try and build this project I get this compiler error: Building Project1.dproj (Debug configuration) [DCC Fatal Error] Unit1.pas(6): F2063 Could not compile used unit 'msxml.p...
As already discussed in Rtti data manipulation and consistency in Delphi 2010 a consistency between the original data and rtti values can be reached by accessing members by using a pair of TRttiField and an instance pointer. This would be very easy in case of a simple class with only basic member types (like e.g. integers or strings). Bu...
Hi, As you know, welcome page in RAD Studio shows a list of recent projects, and you can open each project by clicking on its name. My problem is that if the project is located somewhere My Documents folder, then the link in welcome page does not work! It works fine for projects which are located outside My Documents, but no links to a...
I have a form and I've passed its handle to the OpenGL class to draw. I want to get keyboard commands from the user but it seems the procedures for getting the keys doesn't run (I've tested it).

Example: I have a dataset with one field and 3 records, this field have a unique constraint on the database, then I change one value to conflict when it reaches the database, then I ca...
I am investigating moving a thick client SQL based Delphi application to Multi Tier thin clients, and have been looking at using Datasnap in Delphi 2010. I have worked through the White Paper written by Bob Swart and extended this further. My main question really is that I want to make the server side efficient in terms of connections ...
I am doing a delphi application that will run on my pc 24/7 in the background and will check if it has to do some actions or not, wait 30 minutes and check again, and so on. How can I make sure the application will not overload cpu or memory because of being running all the time. ...

I need to code a simple form application and I want to make it easy to deploy (without installing libraries or dependencies), I don't want to use visual studio cpp or csharp because clr apps compile with .net frameworks and I have no much experience with mfc and dialogs. So I was wondering which libraries does a simple delphi vcl forms ...

I am working with Delphi 2009 Pro and just tried to find out why code completion is so slow in my setup. Whenever code completion is invoked, the IDE locks up for up to 30s, which really interrupts any workflow. When working with BDS 2006, code completion was incredibly fast compared to Delphi 2009. After reading this post it seems to be...
Like others before me, I'm having troubles using the IdHttp(Indy 10.5.5) component in Delphi 2010. The code works fine in Delphi 7: var XMLString : AnsiString; lService : AnsiString; ResponseStream: TMemoryStream; InputStringList : TStringList; begin ResponseStream := TMemoryStream.Create; InputStringList := TStringList.Create; ...
I am trying to write a function that takes any TList and returns a String representation of all the elements of the TList. I tried a function like so function ListToString(list:TList<TObject>):String; This works fine, except you can't pass a TList<String> to it. E2010 Incompatible types: 'TList<System.TObject>' and 'TList<System.str...
Hi, In Delphi 7 when i ran multiple Find In Files searches each search result would generate a separate tab. We've since upgraded to Delphi 2010 and now when i run multiple Find In Files searches each time one is fired off it replaces the tab instead of creating a new one with the results of the successive search. Is there a way to get ...
