Does FireDAC work with Foxpro files and CDX files? The component we have been using "Apollo" seems to be dead. Any recommendations? Thanks,

Does Delphi XE 10.2.2 ship with type helpers for TDateTime type? Or do I need to implement my own.

Little funny bug... I wanted to quickly make two x86 EXE builds, with 3GB and normal 2GB of available memory. Just to pass it for heavy testing, as 3rd-party libs (both Delphi and DLLs) might be or not be compatible. So i put this into DPR file. {$DEFINE g3} // or obvious {.$DEFINE g3} {$IFDEF g3} {$SetPEFlags IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE} {$E 3GB.EXE} {$ENDIF} This kind of work in XE2 but with tweo funny bugs: 1) the IDE ignores it and shows filename.exe in the compile progress dialog 2) linker partialyl ignores it and creates filename.3gb instead of filename.3gb.exe ...a combined effect BTW is that IDE shows to developer a different name than it actually creates. I wonder if those discrepancies still exist in later Delphi builds :-D P.S. {$E '3GB.EXE'} and even {$E .3GB.EXE} make no difference. I wonder...

I'm looking for help to teach me how to configure a tcp server that listens to a tcp send and returns ack to every packet read, and that I can send packets as well. thanks a lot

I'm looking for new desktop, like a Intel i7 9700k. but intel have removed hyperthreading. Is this a problem for Delphi ?

Can somebody point me to a working sample of a Delphi XE application written in say Xe8 - Berlin that uses google maps with routing and location interactions? Everything I see in You-Tube is non-english also. I really want to create a VCL Google Maps program and I could use a sample as a guide. This is not a FMX mobile app. VCL only.

RIO - First thoughts: No additional downloads, no interbase (I check install everything). No love for the Win64 C++ compiler. First time I can recall the compiler did not get a version bump: Embarcadero C++ 7.30 for Win64 Copyright (c) 2012-2017 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc Building product demos, yet the Win64 compiles as a old one (it's driven by the compiler defines).

Does anyone have any material on tcp communication with delphi? I need to create a host that receives and sends data packets in hl7 format. tks

Hi All, Trying to convert a FMX TAlphaColor to a VCL TColor and having some issues. TAlphacolor is a four byte integer with hex $AARRGGBB format (i.e. AA transparency value 0 [i.e 00] transparent, 255 [i.e. FF] solid), RR the red byte, GG the green byte and BB the blue byte. The TColor is also a 4 byte integer $00BBGGRR. with a palette coding, then blue green red. I've Googled and consulted the Delphi help and found little. Is there a Delphi function I have missed or has anyone a code snippet to do this conversion. I've tried but am not smart enough to do the maths to get it working :( Have also read that byte shifting with shr, shl might be a possible solution. Cheers, Martin

I hate updates. And i know why. Using d10.2.1 for a long time i reluctantly wanted to update to 10.2.3. But i did. well i do not know why i pay money? luckily i had a backup !!!! 1. directory of Android sdk/ndk gone. 2. some experts gone. 3. some components gone. 4. fmx tee by by. 5. and much more. 6. but after 2 days i managed to compile both. who will pay for my time ? 7. I am left with a problem GETIT dose not work I suspect some thing bother GETIT but what ? a component?

Hello, In Windows， TWebBrowser is based on IE，default it is IE6. There are a large of web site not support IE6 now. We can modify it in Regedit, set it working as IE11. But IE11 has a bug: Document.GetElementByID(ID).outerText should return plain text no HTML, but is return plain text and some script. For a example, there are some string in a page: "this is a webbrowser in delphi.", it will return "this is a webbrowser some script in delphi." So, I would like to know that is there a TWebBrowser based on Firefox or Chrome in Delphi?

ok, so the google+ platform is dying.. would it be an idea to create a discord server to continue ?

Ok, so they're having the T-Shirt contest for Rio. Then, I predict they'll release 10.3 shortly before Thanksgiving...

I'm working with TMSAdvMemo. I'd like to have a find / replace dialog that supports regular expressions. They have the default find / replace dialogs built-in, and a couple of more advanced dialogs that aren't fully implemented. I'm not attached to using the AdvMemo, but I like it because of the simple syntax highlighting for different languages. (We need Pascal and SQL at a minimum for this project.) Does anybody know of a fully-implemented find / replace dialog that supports regex of some sort?

I'd like your opinion on button design. The top "i" is a TImage. The bottom is a TSpeedbutton. I think I prefer this look. I don't like the look of the square border on the TSpeedbutton, but I do like that it changes in appearance when the user clicks or mouses over it. What's the community's opinion on using the TImage, even though it's a "flat" button. Any feedback? (I'm not going to use a custom component or 3rd party component for these...) PS Can a TImage have transparency so that the faint white background on my "i" doesn't appear? What are the requirements for that? File type? Lower left hand pixel? Or what?

I so so much would LOVE to have the Chrome-like commands "Close all windows to the right" in the IDE. Super-lazy question, i know, but i'm not well versed with all the different QC options. Any issue i can vote for? Any plugin having this already? My second wish (now that i'm tackling huge DFMs) is to be able to tell the IDE to close ancestors of a form so i can switch to "Display as Text" without having to "Close All" and re-open the project. Have to do that a lot ATM :( Regards!
