I'm trying to customize the icon that shows in Windows Explorer and in Desktop shortcuts for my Delphi application. In the Delphi 7 IDE, I have loaded the desired icon in the Application tab of the Project Options dialog. It shows my desired icon as a graphic. I didn't think it was necessary, but I also set my icon as the TMainForm Ic...

I'm porting some code from one framework library to another, which requires me to comment out large sections of code just to get it to compile, and then carefully restore them. In the meantime, I get tons of warnings because of all the commented-out code. So I decided to write a quick include file to suppress them: {$MESSAGE WARN 'War...

First off, this applies to Delphi 5 Enterprise, as this is what we use at work. There's no view to upgrading any time soon, as this version "does what we need", apparently. After setting the dgRowSelect and dgMultiSelect options on a TDBGrid, the behavior does not confirm to a standard Windows UI. I don't think we've ever needed this o...

Does the same technique which FastMM4 for Delphi provides to report memory leaks to a detailed file work if the application runs as service? Of course the best practice would be to write unit tests and a simple standalone application first, and find the leaks there, outside the service environment. Edit: and there is http://blog.delphi-...

I'm coding an application that uses a third party SDK (OCXs). I use the SDK in C# and it works just fine. However, I can create the simplest test application with the same objects from the SDK in Delphi 2007 and it compiles ok, but BSODs on the same machine when it gets to a certain point. I've run some other test applications that us...
By design, the toolbar application thumbnail on Vista does not update when an application is minimized, since the minimized window itself is not redrawing. For a monitoring application I have, it would be useful to update the application thumbnail while the application remains minimized. I am using Delphi 2009. Can anyone suggest a good ...
