I've always heard that Delphi can do almost anything C++ can do...except write Windows drivers. Is this correct, and if so, why is that? I recently read a blog post online that may indicate a possible solution for writing drivers with Delphi, but it's 3 years old and I don't know how accurate this information is. So, with the latest v...
I need to implement a small, standalone web server that will be used to process REST API calls, using Delphi 2010. There seem to be two easy choices available with Delphi 2010 out of the box: Indy's TidHTTPServer and Delphi's own TDSHTTPService. I am familiar with Indy components and would probably use them without question; there is a...

We saw Robert Love's code snippet in response to another question, but there is no code for the native Delphi program. How can we pass strings from Delphi to a Delphi Prism DLL? ...

TListenerProc = reference to procedure (SomeInt : ISomeInterface); ISomeInterface = interface procedure AddListener (Proc : TListenerProc); end; No...
I would like to know, is there a way to automatically make the IDE/Compiler/other copy all the resource that needs to be linked with the DCU to the DCU output folder. I often use forms that I pre-compile to avoid the needs to recompile the unit all the time in my main projects. The DCU gets updated, but we need to copy the DFM manually ...
I have a Delphi 2010 app that imports Windows Media Player via a type library (and thus TOleControl). I assign a TPanel as the parent for the control and this all works fine. However assigning a TGestureManager etc. to the parent panel does obviously not work but I was wondering if there is some other way to get some "basic" gestures to...

I've got a TCheckListBox on a form. Its Columns property is set to 2, and if there are more items than can fit on-screen in two columns, it puts a horizontal scrollbar across the bottom of the control. Thing is, the way this form it laid out, it would be much more convenient to scroll vertically. But I can't seem to figure out how to ...
How can I specify project-specific package settings in the Delphi 2010 IDE? Changing the packages in the project options does change the packages for all projects in the project group. This is annoying because I build my application with a package that needs to be disabled in order to compile the BPLs in the project group. ...
It seems that most Delphi applications fit into two classes: Database-centric Applications that use Reporting Systems for all their printing needs, and applications that don't need printing. For those in the excluded middle (non-database printing, non-reporting system), there are components to help out. For example, I have been a Develo...
