To use or not to use Delphi
Sadly, it seems to me that there is a sort of race between the two threads, for and against using Delphi in new projects, with more or less the same users posting in both threads. Arguments are fiercely debated in both camps. Borland had their own vision. As a community, now that Delphi has changed ownership I believe we should try to be more consistent, more clear, and more articulate in what we expect from Embercadero in terms of Delphi. We can contribute to keeping Delphi alive and moving in the right direction.

Lots of free time over the holidays and all. I think the discussion in general is a good thing, though. Help remind people why a tool like Delphi is worth while, and maybe even shed some light on some of the things that still need attention. I still learn about ...

Using Delphi 7 and Delphi 2010
I 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. Tom Field wrote: > I had a project in Delphi 7. > > I worked o...

How design a COM using Delphi and Using in PB7?
I need some component, So, we want using DELPHI5 to develop a COM or Activex. What type of knowege or Skill I must know it. Can anyone tell us? from DRAOGN Can you explain what type of component you want to create? You may not need to a) build your own, or b) use Delphi.

How to use a delphi XE3 obj file in delphi 2007?
Hi, I'm migrating an application from delphi 2007 to delphi XE3 and I would like to do it in several steps. To do this I need to use a part of my new code (XE3) in the current delphi 2007 application. So I want to use the .obj file from my XE3 file. I know I have to use the {$L 'Filename'} and I know that I have to declare the functions that I want to use in external in my D2007 project. I wanted to make an easy and simple example to see how it works with only 1 function 'hello world' compiled in obj with XE3 but I can't find the way to use it in D2007. In D200...

No. -- Finn Tolderlund The compatiblity between D2006 and D2007 was unique. Normaly they can't be compatible because new version enhance/change the API.

How to use a .dmp file for a system which crashes using a delphi app
Hi, I put this post here because I am not sure of the best location. I have been given a memory dump (.dmp) file by a client who thinks that a Delphi 7 application is causing their system to blue screen from time to time. Does anyone know how I can use this .dmp file to locate the problem in the delphi app? The build the client is using has debug symbols turned on. I have downloaded Microsoft Debugging Tools for windows and have dupmchk.exe (and kd.exe) but I would really appreciate some help with how these or any other useful tools should be used? Many thanks Ben > I have downloaded Microsoft Debugging Tools for windows and have dupmchk.exe (and kd.exe) You'd have to learn how to use WinDbg, which is a little too complex to explain here. Anyway you can start by opening the .dmp file and follow what WinDbg tell you, it will point you to the executable and stack trace that led to the error. At least you'll understand what is exactly causing the BSOD. Delphi debug symbols are not useful because they are in a differend format than those used by MS tools. You'd have convert them to a suitable format. It's a pity Delphi can't output debug informations in those formats. Anyway I believe it is a little strange a "normal" Delphi app can lead to a BSOD, because it usually require some kernel-side error. But without knowing what error and where it happens is hard to tell. Am 14.11.2011 11:20, schrieb Ben Russell: > Hi, I put t...
