I'm still working with my Local Modal Dialogs (LMD). See this question for more information. It works fine now for simple cases, but in sometimes there is a result in the dialog that I want to notify the caller. As the call is asynchronous with Show() I cannot simply get the result after the call. So my question is how can I return one ...
Hi all, is there a counterpart of the Delete procedure that could be used for widestrings? Or should I just use copy and concatenate the resulting WideStrings? ...
We have a suite of automatic tests written in QTP (Quick Test Pro - an HP product), and we have just upgraded to Delphi 2009 (I know we are late adopters), and all of these tests no longer work. The plugin that QTP have released does not work with Delphi 2009 - we have that in writing now from HP. Do you know of (a) anyone else in the sa...
I need to make a file truly read only - to keep it as is. No delete, no nothing. (Setting the 'ReadOnly' attribute isn't an option) I see now some approaches: Use a program to keep the file open. Drawback: One can kill the process an then the file closes. Use a program to set the security attributes. Drawback: The file can be deleted...
Hey everyone, This is a very general question: I was wondering whether it is possible to find out whether an application (any kind of application no matter if it a delphi-application or java or whatever) was started by a user or by another application? And if it is possible and I see that an application was called by another one, can I ...

When I put a TIWMenu and a TIWRegion on a TIWAppForm with IWMenu.align := alTop; IWRegion.align := alClient; the submenu of IWMenu is hidden behind the region. That means, when I click on File, a submenu should come up with Open, Save, Save As ..., and it does, but I only see the upper border as the rest shows up behind the IWRegion....
I am having trouble with the delimiter in the TStringList Class. Take a look: var s: string; sl: TStringList; begin sl := TStringList.Create; s := 'Users^foo bar^bar foo^foobar^barfoo'; sl.Delimiter := '^'; sl.DelimitedText := s; ShowMessage(sl[1]); end; sl[1] SHOULD return 'foo bar' sl[1] DOES return 'foo' It seems t...

When the speed button is pressed a memo is shown with a button beneath it for saving its contents. The procedure that handles this: procedure CustomSpeedButton1Click...
I admit I am totally new to QT so bare with me. I am used to develop in Delphi, but I have recently moved to developing in Python and with that PyQT (later I'll switch to PySide). Anyway, I'm trying to figure out if there's anything in QT that is equivalent to Delphi's Align property possibilities like alTop, alClient, alRight and so on?...
Hello, I have application with 20+ windows... At first I was using different forms (with no inheritance), 20+ of them and it used like 8 MB of RAM.

I want the Caption Property of the SpeedButton to always be 'Comments' but I don't want to set it at run-time I want to set it in the component itself so that when I place it on my form it's already populated with th...
