    Usages search bug?

    Delphi in Rad Studio 10 Rio all versions I have found that search for usages does not work correctly, Very annoying I know it was a bit clunky in XE but this is just silly. A window will open listing the usages (but not always), but then clicking on a result will only highlight the item in the...

    New hard drive on W10 upgraded machine

    I'm getting some clues that my hard drive is about to fail,e.g Windows running 'Fixing your hard drive' at start up once or twice, odd sector related messages in event viewer, that sort of thing. A bit like HAL in 2001. The PC was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (Home edition). Now my...

    Using Power shell to get rid of the bloatware

    In fact this isn't always successful as W10 can just put it back. But you may have noticed that Microsoft are not happy with CCleaner stating that 'Registry cleaners are dangerous'. But it might just be that they are upset that the latest versions of CCleaner, allow user to uninstall bloatware...

    That Mail app (and notifications)

    Now email is quite important to me so:- 1. How do I stop my W10 machine automatically picking up my mail? I only need to send from that PC I want the W7 machine to do all the picking up but I can't see any way to stop it? 2. Now and this is very annoying. When W10 Mail picks up mail they get...

    Upgrade Vista, what's the catch

    One of my machines runs Vista and I could do with upgrading it. Bearing in mind that M$ wont want people to upgrade Vista to 8 (or 8.1) as they then get W10 for Free? Seen this on Amazon...

    Maybe there is something I don't understand about libraries?

    This one is the contents of a library folder This one is the actual location of the main folder in the Library As you can see the dates on some of the files are not consistent, in fact the file 680005.c has been edited after that date and opening it in notepad seems now to have synced up the...

    I noticed the other day that one of my programs installed on a test machine seems to have an associated scheduled task that I did not set up. The exe was simply copied onto the machine, no installer involved Compiled with Delphi XE (version 1) This is the code that seems to be accosted with it...

All is fine when running the application on the Desktop machine I used for development (running 32 bit Vista) However when running on Laptops (XP 32bit and W7 63bit tried) the comms quality is...

    Puzzling first char in streamed file

    I am implementing streaming data straight (after ASCII conversion) to file. But I find when checking the file with notepad that there is an inexplicable first character in every line. It seems to be related to the number of characters in each CR/LF terminated line. there are 844 line in the...

    Alignment in XE

    Tell you what is annoying in XE, I am sure this didn't happen in V7 Select two (or more)design time objects to align e.g and edit box and a label, then try to align Horizontal say Centres. And I cannot predict which ones will move. In V7 everything aligned to the first item to be selected, now...

    Days between function

    I am correct in thinking that the DaysBetween() function takes no account of leap years? I had a look at the sources and it gets the difference between the two dates in milliseconds using DateTimetoMilliseconds() on the Start and end dates. DateTimeToMilliseconds uses DateTimeToTimeStamp which...

    Document Explorer wont die ?

    If like me you are using a version of Delphi that incorporates MS Document Explorer as the help system host. Then you might have found that dexplore.exe does not stop running when you close it, or indeed when you close Delphi, I have found this to be particularly noticeable under Vista. as it...

    Default printer settings

    I know this might be printer specific? But if not is it possible to change the default setting to e.g Settings/Printing shortcuts, to default to Fast/Economical, or even to re-order the shortcuts so I don't have to scroll down to the 'Fast' setting. Steve: N.M.N.F. If something is popular...

    third party help install in XE

    specifically integrating help for a third party component. Questions are: Is it possible? If so how? I have to say my suspicion is that it is no longer possible, given the browser based system that is used in XE. Steve: N.M.N.F. If something is popular, it must be wrong: Mark Twain

    Distributed com problem

    I get errors similar to this about every 10 days, I found a Microsoft tech forum reply but like the original poster, the settings they say to change in the Component services console are grey out for this component. The CLISD is different every time, I don't know if this is relevant. Here is...

All this at design time, where they look as expected. Problem is when I run the app the bars just appear flat...
