FastScript in Delphi XE8 - Works in 2006, Any tips to make it work in XE8? [Edit]
I am converting from Delphi 2006 to Delphi XE8, and am now nearing the finish line, but have one remaining major roadblock: FastScript
I use Fastscript very heavily as a way to allow our users to write scripts that can extend our software as much as they like, including creating forms and adding buttons. This is not working.
A specific problem that I have, is that code that works great in Delphi 2006 does not work in Delphi XE8. Specifically, if my script contains a reference to a "TForm", or "TBitBtn" (as well as many other components), then FastScript will return an error at runtime of "Unknown Type 'tBitBtn'" or "resource TForm not found".
I suspect that maybe unit names have perhaps changed, and I'm not including whatever defines TForm, TBitBtn, and other such items for FastScript.
Anyone else experience similar issues? Any tips here?
Thanks!
Carl.
PS: Below is a simple test application that shows the problem.

Delphi 2006 to Delphi XE Crystal BPL problem [Edit]
I am in the process of migrating our application from Delphi 2006 to Delphi XE and, for ease of use, I have both 2006 and XE installed on my development computer.

ShowMessage/MessagDlg wordwrap Delphi 2006
Hi, I have used Delphi 2006 up to now. ShowMessage allowed a long text without a word wrapping. Now with Delphi XE I notice that a migrated program shows smaller message window sizes and a previously carefully aligned message now appears wrapped and misaligned. How to get back to the previous behaviour? I'm not experienced to create my custom form, so a code snippet may help.

How to Change Tablet App to Phone app in Delphi XE8? [Edit]
Hi, i've created an app more specifically for tablets. So if the screen is smaller than 7 inch not everything fits. I do work with layouts and Align properties so everything gets scaled accordingly to the screen size. I know a few options to make the app useable for phones ass well. But not sure what the best way is. Option1: Create multiple Views for each size screen. Option2: Use ScaledLayout to make everything smaller or bigger. Option3: Use scrollBox. Option4: Edit component sizes in FormCreate after checking screen size. Option5: Devide in more Forms. *So what&...
