VCL initialization sequence for a non-VCL executable
Hi all, I've tried the new Application Appearance feature, very cool to use. As I see, the only effect id to add change the application .cpp file to manage the line TStyleManager::TrySetStyle("Luna"); This is working fine when using an exe create for a project type "VCL Form Application - Cpp Builder". But, it's not working When using an exe created another IDE. When I try to use the line mentioned above, I get the error message "Style "Luna" not found". What should be done / called so it still works, in ...

Profiler for Delphi VCL
Hello, i still use D7 :-)) i have a big application with a lot of forms and on some forms are hundreds of objects. The forms are loaded at runtime when they will be needed the first time. One of this big forms needed normaly around 3 seconds to open, suddenly it needs more than 20 seconds. Other (also big) forms in this app are still as fast as always. I can't find out what had changed, because this time is used between the Application.CreateForm() call and the entry in the create-event of the created form. Any ideas how i can find out what wastes the time? I think i need some...

VCL bug affects many VCL components
I am posting here because I have had little success in a technical newsgroup in raising the profile of what I consider to be a significant VCL bug. And I would like to know if I am alone in thinking it important, because in that case I can just get on with working around it as best I can. The bug is that any component with a SaveToFile method can fail to write all or part of the file, and then not raise any exception. It's reported in QC 80148, and I have hopefully now fixed the (well-deserved) criticism of my original report. The problem is that SaveToFile methods generally crea...

Newly installed VCL does not show up on VCL menu
Hello, I obtained the source code for a VCL from the vendor and build a bpl using it. I compiled the code and then clicked the install button on the pull down menu. It said that it installed, and it shows up on the menu of the install packages box, however it is no where to be found on the VCL menu to the right side on the IDE of Delphi XE. What have I done wrong? Thank you for any help you can provide. John Shyer John wrote: > I obtained the source code for a VCL from the vendor and build > a bpl using it.

How to trace through VCL code in debugger. (turn on vcl debugging)
In the old days it was just a checkbox to allow you to trace through the vcl code.

Now I can't find anything. That feature still exists. It has a slightly different title now - "Use debug .dcus" instead of "Use debug libraries" - and it exists under the "Delphi Compiler > Compiling" section of the Project Options. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Tha...

ilink32Error:Unresolved external *** referenced from *VCL.LIB|Vcl.Controls
Hi everybody, I'm working with XE5 in order to build a VCL application (I use TMS and SiLang). Today I needed to test my application on a new machine, so I set the Project Properties "Link with runtime packages" and "Link with dynamic RTL" to false. It used to build correctly since I applied this modification today. "In the past" I did the same thing with other projects without any problem, but this time, when compiling without runtime packages, get the following error: ilink32 command line c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\rad studio\12.0\bin\ilink...

Delphi VCL Memory Leak?
I am dealing with a slow memory leak that causes a massive program to fail after more than a week running. So I started a leak hunt by stripping down the app to the first self written unit and checking. Low and Behold, it leaked. So I started with just a bare bones App - frame only, and it Leaked. I have duplicated it on Delphi 6 and on Borland Developer Studio 2006. Start with a new VCL app. Add nothing, but compile and run. Now Ctrl-alt-Del and set up to watch the memory of your empty app with out overl apping the app screen. Now click on your app and watch the memory size grow with every c...

Can I create a new instance of a vcl component with only the pointer to some vcl class?
Lets say I have a pointer to a TDBGrid in an Ancestor class that has been modified in the Ancestor's Descendant class: TDBGrid* MyDBGrid; Is there a way that I can create a new instance of the Descendant class with only the Ancestors pointer? TDBGrid* CopyOfMyDBGrid = MyDBGrid->Clone(); or maybe something like CopyOfMyDBGrid = new ClassID( MyDBGrid->ClassID() ). Larry.
