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

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.

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? ...

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.

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

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.
OTOH, if one has Delphi 2007 already, I don't s...
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:

Lock Time OutA D7 BDE/Paradox application that has been problem free on a W2k platform has started throwing "Lock time out" errors having been moved to a Windows 7 platform.

Delphi 7 Pro to Delphi XE2Hi All
I'm porting a project from Delphi 7 Pro to Delphi XE2 and have notice the VersionInfo "Release" and "Build" not being extracted correctly.

Delphi 7 to Delphi 2010We have decided to move up some applications running under Delphi 7 to
Delphi 2010. However, I was surprise to see that simply recompiling the
application causes the application to be much slower than version 7. We
have a lot of string transformation routines, some mathematical
transformations, etc. When I mean slower, I mean up to two times slower
than with Delphi 7, so it not a minor difference. (The EXE is also a lot
bigger but I don't worry too much about that).
Is there something I can do to obtain the same kind of speed I had in Delphi
7 but with Delphi 2010? ...

Question about Delphi 2009 vs Delphi 7Hi,
I was wondering if any of you can point me to a URLs that show the most
important improvements between these versions of Delphi.
The objective is convincing the powers-that-pay-the-bills that moving to
D2009 (that we'd have to purchase) is a better idea than moving to D7 (for
which we have licenses).
Fire at will!
