Hi! We used Delphi 6 long times ago. Our problem, that Delphi have two problems with DFMs: 1.) When some linked resource (like DataSet) will removed, Delphi many times forget to ask you that "some of the resources are linked, you need to redirect...". This happens, when the actual form is not added to the project, or it is not opened. ...
Hi to all, I have just used FastMM4 to detect leaks. I did not realise our application was using a DLL which was leaking event handles and so I fixed any leaks reported by FastMM4 but not the handles as it was not reported. My questions are, would have FastMM4 have reported the leaking event handles? Would this require me to rebuild th...
Hi, In Delphi 7 when i ran multiple Find In Files searches each search result would generate a separate tab. We've since upgraded to Delphi 2010 and now when i run multiple Find In Files searches each time one is fired off it replaces the tab instead of creating a new one with the results of the successive search. Is there a way to get ...
Hi, Whenever I rebuild my application and try to step into a break-point the CPU window always appears. From what I understand the CPU window appears when DCU does not match up with the source file, however, in my case the DCU's are defintely being re-compiled and there are no old ones lying around or anything like that. The strange th...

This is probably going to be a "no", but is there any way I can use Delphi's RTTI, either old-school or the 2010 extended RTTI, to pass in a string containing the name of a type, specifically the name of an enumerated type, and have it give me the PTypeInfo for that type? I've looked through RTTI.pas and TypInfo.pas and I don't see any ...
I am using DeDe to create an API (Interface) I can compile to. (Strictly legit: while we wait for the vendor to deliver a D2010 version in two months, we can at least get our app compiling...) We'll stub out all methods. Dede emits constant declarations like these: LTIMGLISTCLASS = 00: ÿÿÿÿ....LEADIMGL|FF FF FF FF 0D 00 00 00 ...

Using Delphi 7, I wonder if there is a free component which will collect diagnostic information as my application runs at a remote site and will help me to debug error reports. Maybe it records each menu item selected, control clicked, text input, etc? Maybe it just dumps the stack on a crash. Maybe it does something else ... I don't m...

That's odd, TBaseSocket's WaitForData documentation specifies that you should call it before SendBuf and Sendln calls. I had a quick try and (perhaps because I trying to write first) this WaitForData call returns false. (after timing out the specified timeout) So is this incorrect? Or incomplete? Or only valid in a number of circumstanc...
