I made a small IDE plug-in using Open Tools API that accesses ClearCase. It has menu items "Check In", "Check Out", etc. It works OK but I want it to check out a read-only file automatically if I start typing in IDE editor or if I attempt to save the file. Do you think this is possible? I tried a few things but gave up eventually. IOTAE...
I have got an in memory data structure that is read by multiple threads and written by only one thread. Currently I am using a critical section to make this access threadsafe. Unfortunately this has the effect of blocking readers even though only another reader is accessing it. There are two options to remedy this: use TMultiReadExclu...
I am trying to add a custom property to a base form that can be accessed via the Delphi property editor. If I simply add the property as I would with a standard component the property won't show up in the property editor. Here's what I tried: unit TestForm; interface uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Con...

Here is my code that was working in Delphi pre 2009? It just either ends up throwing up a heap error on SetAsHandle. If I change it to use AnsiString as per original, i.e. procedure RTFtoClipboard(txt: string; rtf: AnsiString); and Data := GlobalAlloc(GHND or GMEM_SHARE, Length(rtf)*SizeOf(AnsiChar) + 1); then there is no error but...
For build automation, I would like to invoke the XML Data Binding Wizard in Delphi from a build script. I have found the WSDLImp.exe, but this tool seems to generate WSDL based Delphi code only. Is the XML schema binding wizard (which generates Delphi code for XSD files) available as a command line tool? ...
Is it safe to use Open XML instead of MSXML as the DOM Vendor with Delphi's IXMLDocument interface? Are there known limitations in basic functionality which I should be aware of? And how do the Open XML and Xerces implementations differ? (Xerces needs additional libraries, while Open XML seems to be included in the executable iirc) ...
The Delphi online help says that Release should be used to remove a form from memory. However, in many examples for modal forms I have seen this construct: MyForm := TMyForm.Create(nil); try MyForm.ShowModal; finally MyForm.Free; end; Is Free a safe way to destroy a modal form? As I can see in the source for ShowModal, Application...
I need to import some XML schemas. In Delphi, I would use the the XML Data Binding Wizard to generate the Pascal code from the schemas. Is there something like that in Delphi Prism to avoid writing all this boilerplate code? ...
Is sqrt still slow in Delphi 2009? Are the old tricks (lookup table, approx functions) still useful? ...
Two quick questions How do I set focus to a TWebBrowser? This is so the mouse wheel scrolls the display without having to click within the TWebBrwoser display area first. It has a setfocus method that does nothing (or seems to do nothing). Within a TWebBrowser, right click a displayed link and select properties. The OK and Cancel bu...

Does anyone know the specifics of how to embed the Mono runtime in a Delphi Win32 application? The official documentations is not very helpful with regards to the Win32 environment (www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono). Upate: I am very familiar with the vagaries of static linking in Delphi and would be perfectly happy with a DLL. Mono...

I have a TObjectList that needs to be processed by several threads. Since internally TObjectList inherits from TList and TList implements its internals as an array I wonder: Is it thread safe to access the array from different threads as long as we access different indexes? For example, having a TObjectList called myObjectList: start ...
I'm working on a large delphi 6 project with quite a lot of dependancies. It takes several minutes to compile the whole project. The recompilation after a few changes is sometimes much more longer so that it is quicker to terminate Delphi, erase all dcu files and recompile everything. Does anyone know a way to identify, what makes the c...
I had cause to need a label with a large font on a Delphi form and noticed that its curves were still slightly jagged. I compared this with the same size and font in MSWord which was much smoother. After research I found code that allowed me to smooth my fonts but it's messy and I was wondering if there was a better way? Looking in t...
