I have several custom components in my uses list of a unit. For some reason, D2009 is saying that it cannot resolve the unit name. But it seems as if it can find it - the code compiles fine. How can I have it resolve the unit names at design time though? My Structure window is showing all kinds of 'Undeclared Identifier' errors bec...
I am writing an application that allows a user to submit a query to multiple systems. I then save each report from each system using SaveToFile, which saves it as an XML document. The user can then inspect each report by selecting it from a menu, and the report is displayed by loading the report back into an ADO Query component (using ...

Hi, I'm using the FINDSTR function to filter text files, but it's failling on extended ASCII characters. I tried using the CharToOEM function, but I still have characters such as 'à', which FINDSTR doesn't seems to recognize. I want to use FINDSTR because the text files I work with are 100MB big, so I need something fast. Does a functi...
On Previous Question, someone recommended that I install Andy's IDE Fix Pack to get rid of an 'Undeclared Identfier' error in Error Insight with D2009. It worked. However, I had to uninstall it (long story). When I re-installed, it no longer fixes the problem I was having. No matter how many times I uninstall, then re-install, I'm ...

I'm developing a multi-document application. Currently it uses MDI which is quite convenient for me (as a developer) as well as for users I believe. However there is one "against" - I haven't found a solution to quickly load many child windows (each time the window is created and maximized to fill the parent's area, there is an 'animatio...
I start with a new Delphi VCL application, add Menus to the uses clause, drop a label on the form, and assign the form's OnShortCut event: procedure TForm1.FormShortCut(var Msg: TWMKey; var Handled: Boolean); begin Label1.Caption := ShortCutToText(ShortCut(Msg.CharCode, KeyDataToShiftState(Msg.KeyData))); end; On XP, this works corr...
Microsoft has this nice little feature called CardSpace. This is a Microsoft implementation of InfoCards. Microsoft has a nice document which explains how it can be used, which is useful. And doing a Google search doesn't provide me many useful answers but it does provide an enormous amount of noise. (Mostly because people wonder what it...
Hi, yesterday I've started discussion on "MDI vs tabbed interface". I've asked whether should I continue developing my app as MDI-based, or should I embed the child forms into tab sheets. Someone pointed that I should use TFrames instead... My question is: why? What are pros of using TFrames when embedding the form over TFrame? So far I...

The last few days we have had some strange problems with our database components developed by a third party. There has been no changes to these components for months. The code that HAS changed the last few days is our own code and we have also updated our gui-components developed by another third party. After debugging I have found ...

I am using DevExpress ribbon form components if this matters. Thanks. ...

When FastMM logs a memory leak it includes a stacktrace going back 9 calls. Problem is that the stacktrace is too general to locate the problem easily. The last function call in the trace is called at least 50 times and the object leaked is a very common one. What can I do to make the stacktrace longer? Tips to locate leaks more easily...
I have a structured file with hierarchical text which describes a GUI in Delphi (a DFM-File). Let's assume I have this file and I have to match all "Color = xxx" Lines, which are in the context of TmyButton (marked), but not those in other context. Within the TMyButton-Context there won't be a deeper hierarchical level. object frmMain:...
