This adds an ActionClientItem at runtime from a stringList: var ActionClient: TActionClient; ChildItem: TActionClientItem; if FileExists( ARecentFilesFilename ) then begin ARecentFilesList.LoadFromFile( ARecentFilesFilename ); // remove any duplicates RemoveDuplicates( ARecentFilesList ); for i := 0 to ARecentFilesList.Count...
I've got a TdxDBGrid that's displaying some information retrieved from a database query. One of the columns is a Memo column, (TdxDbGridMemoColumn,) which is necessary because the data in the field it's bound to comes out of the database as type TEXT, not CHAR or VARCHAR. Problem is, the memo column likes to display whole words, and if...

One button deletes some IWTreeViewItems, the other releases the form: procedure TIWForm1.IWButton1Click(Sender: TObject); begin IWTreeView1.Items[0].Subitems.Clear; end; procedure TIWForm1.IWButton2Click(Sender: TObject); begin Release; end; Releasing the form after deleting the IWT...

A very simple situation. I'm working on an application in Delphi 2007 which is often compiled as 'Release' but still runs under a debugger. And occasionally it will run under SilkTest too, for regression testing. While this is quite fun I want to do something special... I want to detect if my application is running within a debugger/reg...
I'm currently creating a class to write and read arrays Opening a file, closing a file all works well. Also, I'm able to write an array towards a bin file. But returning an array from the class is a bridge to far. So far, ther're 2 issues where I'm not able to work around 1) in the public section function ReadArrFromFile : ar...
In a class declaration, you can press Ctrl+Space to get a list of virtual methods in the baseclass that you can override. This list seems to be very limited, though. Ex. TMyBaseClass = class(TInterfacedObject) protected procedure mymethod; virtual; end; TMyClass = class(TMyBaseClass) protected {Ctrl+Space here...} end; ...
Hi, I get the below error when I try to link resources in a dll. [DCC Error] E2161 Error: RLINK32: Too many resources to handle. Number of resources are more than 10K.

The situation is simple. I've created a complex Delphi application which uses several different techniques. The main application is a WIN32 module but a few parts are developed as .NET assemblies. It also communicates with a web service or retrieves data from a specific website. It keeps most of it's user-data inside an MS Access databas...
Hi gents, As someone who's been stuck at the older versions of Delphi and upgraded to D2010 lately, I figure I still use the language, RTL and VCL features from the D5 era and refrain from using these new features as the documents on those are somewhat decentralized around the blogosphere. So I'd like to ask if there was an assorted li...
I am exploring this subject again, from a slightly different angle than before: I have TForm descendant which is used in a couple of other components as a dialog, that I'd like to add as a property an array of counted TFrame descendants. What multi-item property approach should I use for this? (Array, TList, TObjectList, TCollection,...
(Note: This is somewhat related to my last question). I am new to using TCollection in Delphi, and am still wrapping my head around the various ways to handle one-to-many class/property-item relationships. Exploring TCollection and TCollectionItem, I ran into a couple questions: 1) Is it possible to use TCollection or TOwnedCollectio...

I'm caching files locally in my 3 tier app. To check whether to read the file from the local cache or from the server I compare file dates. I've found that there when converting file dates to TDateTime and viceversa there are inconsistencies and values that should match rarely do. Here's some code that demostrates the problem procedure ...
