XP Manifest problem in Delphi 7
Hi. I upgrade my app to Borland Delphi 7 and I have visual problems due to XP Manifest. I detect visual problems in several components(TPanel, TLabel, TPageControl, ...): components are painted with the parent background, not the color specified. It's possible to solve TPanel reassigning ParentBackground property to FALSE. But this solution is not valid to PageControl, for example. There are any solution/s about this problem with Delphi7 - XP manifest? Exists any way to display well this components? Thanks in advance. Regards Jose Jose Fco R. Palau wrote: > Hi. &...

Delphi 6 - project opens
I have a large project that opens with no IDE visible. Until today, everything was fine. Have removed the Delphi32.dsk file. No change. Have reinstalled Delphi - no change. It appears the IDE settings for the project are held somewhere. But I can't find them. All that displays is the application's file list. No forms, no code, no object inspector. The Alt keys still work. But that's it. I started up another project with the same name (overwrote the previous version). Same problem. So the data about that project is definitely somewhere. I've had a good look on ...

Delphi IDE
I am using an external manifest file to support UAC elevations via the RC to RES technique. Once I do this, I have to add the Theme aware info to that manifest or I get resource warnings. To get rid of the warning, I uncheck the themes option on the project. This works fine, but the IDE shows the form designer as non-themed. When it the runs, it is themed, but not in the designer. I am using Delphi 2010, but I tried on Delphi XE3 with the same results. If I use the Delphi XE3 "Use custom manifest" option, it works fine. Is there a way to use an external manifest and sti...

VS ide / delphi ide key map
I'm quit lost in VS ide, F9 run, F8 / F7 Ctrl+Alt+P for tool pallet and the fast find when you type component name F11 to switch to code view / object inspector, the ability to navigate in the object inspector with tab and writing property name.

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...

XP Manifest Again
When I used XP Manifest, some colors got all screwed up. Is there a document somewhere that describes what the XP theme is and how to use it without it messing up some colors? I like the way the navigator buttons get drawn, and the transparent look, but some controls just disappear. > When I used XP Manifest, some colors got all screwed up.

Is it posible to configure Delphi XE3 IDE to use Delphi 7 compiler/debuger
Hi! 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...

Manifest files on XP
Hi, I'm posting this in a couple of forums out of curiosity if anyone has messed around with this on either or both versions of XP: I came across manifest files again the other day while I was looking into programming for XP themes and I was wondering if anyone is aware of any exploits or abuse of this feature on XP. The most common usage I've seen is to enable the aforementioned XP theme styles for a program. I was struck by how easy it is to have XP load a particular version of the Common Control DLL -- basically, as is documented in several places, one just needs to cre...
