I'm working on migrating an old project from Delphi 2007 to Delphi 2010. One thing I've found is that the resulting executable has more than doubled in size, and the original was already quite big. (Over 50 MB.) I suspect that a lot of it has to do with extended RTTI. Since the project predates Delphi 2010, it doesn't use extended RT...

I'm currently wondering what InternalInsert and InternalAddRecord should do? Also if anyone can point me to a good guide that isn't Custom Dataset or the Keeping Hold of Your Things series or ...
I had one UI object attached to a tab that will go missing only under a certain sequence of interaction with the program, and if it's missing, closing the program will result in AV and error of Invalid Window Handle. As I was trying to find out why, I found that calling its .Handle or .HandleNeeded at the start will fix the problem. But ...

This has been discussed here, but not in this detail. I'm having trouble when trying to have a non-modal subform close itself.
