Delphi 7 to Delphi XE2
Hi, Still using that old workhorse, Delphi7, but am going to the conference in London hosted by Embarcadero on Delphi XE2. Although I would like to "move with the times" and am keen to get the UNICODE and 64-bit support offered by the latest IDEs, I confess to being more than a little scared about all the UNICODE/String/AnsiString and 32/64 bit issues I'm probably going to fall over. Anyone recently upgraded from Delphi7 to one of the latest Delphi IDEs? Thanks, Alain On 03/02/2012 08:55, Alain Dekker wrote: > Still using that old workhorse, Delphi7, but...

Delphi 2007 to Delphi XE2 paint order change
Hello all, I have a program here that does some very specific work in the paint handlers and requires that the controls are painted from bottom to top. This worked just fine under Delphi 2007 but now that we have migrated to Delphi XE2, it no longer works. Tracing the paint order, we discovered that there are cases when the bottom most component (the form for instance) is drawn last instead of first, which means that the painting code we do in the program gets a black area for the bottom most control instead of its background. This was observed with D2007 and DXE2 on the same c...

Object Inspector, Delphi 7
Hi, Got Delphi 7 installed at work and at home. When I debug at work, the Object Inspector is still visible on the left, but at home as soon as I press F5 (Visual Studio keyboard emulation), it disappears. I can bring it back manually but then when I stop and start again it goes again. I've tried to "Save Current desktop" and even to copy the DST file from work home, but no help. Any ideas?

Missing Properties in the Object Inspector
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, probably something embarassingly simple. I'm using Borland C++ Builder 6. I've added the Standard Action "Save as" to the catgory "File" in the Action Manager. Then I've selected this "Save as" item so that the TFileSaveAs item is selected in the Object Inspector and it's properties are shown there. My problem is that in the Object Inspector the is no property "DefaultExt" or "Filter". Also, although there is a property "Dialog", this property doesn't expand (there&...

Delphi 2009: missing View | Delphi Class Explorer
As far as I know, I'm supposed to have a menu item View | Delphi Class Explorer in Delphi 2009 Pro. But I cannot find it. I don't even see it as an option in the menu Customize commands. All available features were selected when Delphi was installed. What have I done to lose the Class Explorer?

Delphi 2006 vs Delphi 2009 IDE stability
Hello, all. I have medium sized project which includes about 20Mb of source code (just size of *.pas files). I use Delphi 2006. There are third party component suites JVCL, DevExpress Bars, Pegasus Imaging. All updates applied. The main problem is IDE stability. About four..five times a day IDE become unstable after intensive usage of code insight functions (most often I press Ctrl+Space key). The best outcome is that I have to save everything and restart the IDE. The worst outcome is when IDE stalls or falls into endless loop of error messages and any unsaved work is lost. OS...

Move from Delphi 2009 to Delphi XE2 and now failing
I recently moved from Delphi 2009 to Delphi XE2 (combined with a new computer). The XML that is now created no longer accepted by the webservice. The specific steps I went through were. 1) Delphi 2009 with old pas file. Worked. 2) Delphi XE2 with old pas file. Didn't work. 3) Delphi XE2 with new pas file imported by Delphi XE2. Didn't work. The new pas file has the following lines, but commenting them out doesn't change the XML. { InvRegistry.RegisterParamInfo(TypeInfo(FaCSIADiagnosticInterface), 'Ping', 'Ping_Input', '&...

Access to legacy (Delphi 4) Midas server from Delphi XE2
Hello, My company biggest product is developped with Delphi 4 and uses several Midas servers. It's a really big application (still in evolution, since 1997) , that has been started with Delphi 3. A partial or complete rewrite of this application is planned in a mid term future, and I must study if we can envisage a soft migration of some parts of the software on Delphi XE2 (or XE4), or if a complete rewrite even of the servers parts is required. If a complete rewrite must be done, my boss doesn't exclude to study the possibility of using another development environment to rewri...

converting delphi 2007 code to delphi XE2 -- emptyparam problem
Hi, I am trying to convert my applicantion code from delphi 2007 to delphi XE2 and i got stuck in this error "[DCC Error] ADODB_TLB.pas(4888): E2033 Types of actual and formal var parameters must be identical".
