Using Delphi 7 and Delphi 2010I had a project in Delphi 7.
I worked on it in Delphi 2010.
When I try to open the .dpr again in Delphi 7, the IDE toolbar widens across both monitors, and Delphi 7 locks up.
It appears that Delphi 2010 modifies the .dpr in a way that makes Delphi 7 unable to open it again.
All my forms & units appear to open fine in D7 after D2010, except for the warnings on the ExplicitHeight and ExplicitWidth properties being missing...
I can easily recreate the .dpr, but is this expected behavior?
Thanks.

Delphi 7 to Delphi XEHave been using Delphi 7 for many moons ( have got later versions but never
upgraded to )
My first problem is:
Component Palette. in XE it is a small toolbar docked in top right
in Delphi 7 it gives a large view of all the components.
I am struggling to be able to cope/access my components.in Delphi XE.
Can I make the component pallette tool bar the same size as Delphi 7, or is
there a fast way to view/choose all available components in XE, that I have
not spotted yet?
Kind Regards,
Robert.

Delphi 7 to Delphi XE2Hi,
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

Using Delphi 7 in Windows 7I have recently upgraded my system to Windows 7. I have Delphi 7 working to some extent - it will open my projects and display my units and allow me to edit the code then compiles the *.exe file - BUT it will not display my forms.
View/Forms - shows the list of forms and will open the associated unit but neither this nor F12 will display the form itself. Consequently I am unable to edit the form itself or its properties.
Any ideas about what might be preventing these from displaying?

ActiveX differences between Delphi 7 and Delphi XE4 in an MFC applicationWhen I create an ActiveX control based on a TPanel (with no added code) in Delphi 7, I am able to add this to a MFC C++ application and have it run fine.
When I take the exact same code and compile it in Delphi XE4 (and XE2), MFC throws an assertion. I confirmed that the only changes are in the dcu, ocx and res files.
The assertion is happening on ASSERT(wFlags == DISPATCH_METHOD); in occsite.cpp (I included the source to this).

Unofficial Delphi 7 updatesAnybody noticed, even tried this Enhanced Run Time library for Delphi ? It's a hack of the D7 RTL/VCL
http://blog.synopse.info/post/2009/12/20/Enhanced-Run-Time-library-for-Delphi-7
It's very interesting and I'd like to know it's stability.

This library violates Delphi's license (redistributing of RTL/VCL
source files is not allowed).
The last post was deleted and I'm sure this one will be deleted, too.

Migrating From Delphi 7 to Delphi 2010We did not know which forum was the best for this question.
We have been wanting to migrate from Delphi 7 to a later version for years but it appears to be a daunting task. We first looked at D2006 and that was a radical new world. We bought D2010 a couple of years ago and not done much with it because there are so many parts to our applications. We have done a few new applications in D2010 and they seem to work okay. D2010 has not been impressive, perhaps because of the strangeness compared to D7.
Is is possible for us to do a phased sort of migration where we do a form at a time? ...
Is it posible to configure Delphi XE3 IDE to use Delphi 7 compiler/debugerHi!
Like many other developer out there I have several project which has been developed with older version of Delphi (Delphi 7). Since theese projects rely on some components which are not compatible with newer versions of Delphi (no newer versions available) I'm forced to do any maintnance on theese projects using Delphi 7.
Another solution would be to find replacment components which would provide me with same capabilities and work with latest versions of Delphi. But this would probbably require compleete rewritings of my projects (lots and lots of work).
So currently I'm using...
Moving from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2007Is there any compelling reason to move (quite a large project) from
Delphi 7 to Delphi 2007?
Specifically, is there better Vista/Win7/Win8 integration provided by
Delphi 2007? (In the project I am already using a custom manifest file
for Vista/Win7 etc.. and not the std XPMan component)
Does 2007 add any new bugs to the scene?
Thanks

Migrating from Delphi 7 to Delphi XE3Hello, Its time to leave the old Delphi 7 and move to the new (but not the latest) XE3.
I was wondering if there is a good book or reference to learn all new things XE3 added.
Any suggestions?

Try this one for starters:

Aside from that you really need to evaluate your application. XE3 is
Unicode for example....

Delphi 2007 RTL in Delphi 7I read somewhere that it is possible to use Delphi 2007's (or for that
matter Delphi 2006's) RTL in Delphi 7 by just recompiling the source of RTL.
Is this really possible? What are the benefits that we can derive using
a higher version's RTL?
TIA

If it actually compiles in Delphi 7, I guess it would be possible.

It works fine. You usually want to install the older version first.
