I have made the question "community wiki" - it is subjective.
I have upgraded to Delphi 2009 because of unicode support. I have found the anonymous methods a very interesting and useful language feature, I can't say the same about generics. The generics seemed important for me before the upgrade to Delphi 2009, but I have never used them and…
Hello.
The situation is the following. Typically I use RAD Studio 2010 for Delphi development. I have some components I would like to redistribute in binary form (*.bpl without source). But I would like people to be able to use them despite of their Delphi version. But, for example, dcu files can be used only by compiler version, which…
After a clean install of Delphi, what components and IDE add-ins do you make certain that you install? What's your Delphi "rig"? Here's what I install after a clean installation:
Delphi 2007
JCL / JVCL - JEDI Code Library and JEDI Visual Code Library (600+ components)
JWA / JWSCL - JEDI API Library & Security Code Library

I am an individual user of Delphi, starting back in the early Turbo Pascal days. I have quite a bit of code developed over the years, but I have never sold software commercially or used it for business. Historically, Borland supported the non-professional users with lower cost versions, but Embarcadero does not. As I consider upgrading…
Hello Everyone. I am new to delphi. I was trying to add C Object files in my Delphi project and link them directly since Delphi Supports C Object Linking. I got it working when i link a single Object file. But when i try to link multiple object files, i am getting error 'Unsatisfied forward or external declaration'. I have tried this…
How can I use ScriptGetProperties API from Uniscribe Dll (usp10.dll) in Delphi
I found an example in C++, but I don't know how to translate it, because I'm not good on C.
const SCRIPT_PROPERTIES **g_ppScriptProperties;
int g_iMaxScript;
WCHAR *pwcInChars = L"Unicode string to itemize";
int cInChars = wcslen(pwcInChars);

I have a String that I needed access to the first character of, so I used stringname[1]. With the unicode support this no longer works. I get an error: [DCC Error] sndkey32.pas(420): E2010 Incompatible types: 'Char' and 'AnsiChar'
Example code:
//vkKeyScan from the windows unit
var
KeyString: string;

I am investigating moving a thick client SQL based Delphi application to Multi Tier thin clients, and have been looking at using Datasnap in Delphi 2010. I have worked through the White Paper written by Bob Swart and extended this further.
My main question really is that I want to make the server side efficient in…
What should I worry about if I move to Delphi 2007 to 2010?
I've checked this article and there was a lot of interesting stuff but not precisely for this jump that I need.
To clarify my question and situation:
I have all 3td party components' code.
I will need the unicode, but not this year.
I need win 7 support…
I know in delphi you can open the default browser with:
ShellExecute(self.WindowHandle,'open','www.website.com',nil,nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
but I'm wanting to know if there is a way to automatically post data on the new opened brower window OR auto fill the login data (even in firefox, safari,etc)
Thanks

Embarcadero just released a whole bunch of neat looking icons that I'd like to use to make my Delphi 7 and 2009 apps look fancier. Is there a setting (or hack) in those IDEs that lets me change the default exe icon?
CodeGear announces that their Next .Net product which is known as Delphi Prism Will be RemObjects's Oxygene.
Oxygene has many nice features that not found in Delphi or C#, and I think it will be a more effective solution for .Net than Delphi .Net previous releases, but it's uses Visual Studio IDE instead of Delphi…
Hi I have been using this function in Delphi 2006, but now with D2010 it throws an error.
I think it is related to the switch to Unicode.
Function TWinUtils.GetTempFile(Const Extension: STRING): STRING;
Var
Buffer: ARRAY [0 .. MAX_PATH] OF char;
Begin
Repeat
GetTempPath(SizeOf(Buffer) - 1,…

Is there a ListView (ListBox) or similar component that allows me to easily drop another component in a specific column. (Multiple columns)? Like a checkbox, button or drop down list or all the above. (It would be nice to be able to sort via the header also)
If not does anyone know of a resource on how to…
I am a veteran Delphi programmer working on my first real Android app. I am using Eclipse and Java as my development environment. The thing I miss the most of course is Delphi's VCL components and the associated IDE tools for design-time editing and code creation. Fortunately I am finding Eclipse to be…
Currently, our database uses Win1252 as the only character encoding. We will have to support Unicode in the database tables soon, which means we have to perform this migration for four databases and around 80 Delphi applications which run in-house in a 24/7 environment. Are there recommendations for…

I have the impression that Delphi isn't very popular anymore. But now at work I had to make some changes to an old Delphi program that we are still using. I used Borland Developer Studio 2006 and it was very pleasant and intuitive to work with, even though I had practically no…
