With the free VMware Player you can convert this Virtual PC VM and use it with the VMware Player which provides better performance than the XP Mode BUT you will need to pay for Windows OS ie. Windows license keys for each VMWare virtual machine. Delphi in a VM, it gives you several benefits. Very easy to backup your development system and you can easily transfer it to another machine. Plus you can avoid component version conflicts between your products or product versions if you use separate VMs. I am yet to do this, does this affect your Delphi and third party component licenses Jon Aasendens blog post on using VM with various versions of Delphi. UAC, Windows Resource Protection and file virtualization issues introduced in 3. Vista and later Windows OS including 6. Win 7 Changes to HKLM and HKCR registry keys arent allowed under these OS versions without admin rights. Make sure you start any installation with administrator level rights. When installing applications designed prior to Vista, and thus not UAC aware eg. Delphi earlier than Delphi 2.

If you run your 3. Delphi app on a 6. File. Existsfilename may give a false value for files in certain folders eg.

Windows 7 date format bug a known issue with Windows 7 is a bug in date format setting, thus if you use Australian date format, the date format in non main threads remains as USto fix this, in Control Panel, Regional settings, set date format to a non US country date format, press Apply, then reset it to your country and press apply.

Nameen AUBorland Database Engine BDE Whilst the BDE is no longer supported with updates ceasing some 8 years ago, it is still useful and works well for Paradox, d. Base tables as well as with server databases if used with TClientdatasets. As nice as DBExpress 4 is, it does not support Paradox, d. Base, nor does it seem to support nested SQL statements. The BDE installed fine using default Delphi 6 installation CD with the BDE default installation will be installed in c Program Files x. Common FilesBorland SharedBDE. Alternatively, Do a google search for BDEInfosetup. This will install the BDE on 6. Windows, but it does not put the BDEadmin into the control panel. Instead, go to the directory where the BDE is installed program files x. BorlandCommon FilesBDE and youll find BDEadmin. If you try running BDE Administrator or SQL Explorer and modify an alias and apply edits, the edits will be saved but the app hangs just as it did for these guys in 6. Vista no matter what they triedYou will need to set security for idapi. Modify instead of the default Read only file access, BETTER STILL, move this file away from the c Program Files folder so that users have readwrite access. Ensure BDE Administrator is set to use this new file location by choosing Open Config file, select it then when prompted, Yes to use as default file. You may also need to go into Options from the BDE Administrators Object Menu and check the Win. Ensure pdoxusrs. net file is on a folder with readwrite access for everyone ie.

If you install a later version of Delphi after installing an earlier version, remember it will over write your idapi. Now, despite all of the above, the Delphi IDE still seems to want to put the BDE Private. Dir as the c WindowsSystem. Delphi cannot write to in Vista and later. This seems to only be an issue when trying to open TQuery components within the IDE with the cached. Updates true. You will get an error message such as Do not have permission to write c windowssystem. Del. 2. MB, etc. Set TQuery. Cached. Updates false and you are in business. Surely there must be a way to set Delphis Private. Dir folder to a readwrite folder One unresolved issue is the BDE date format BDE applications seem to default to mdy despite the idapi.

Monkey is a cross platform GUI framework developed by Embarcadero Technologies for use in Delphi or CBuilder, using C or Object Pascal to build cross platform applications for Windows, mac. OS, i. OS, and Android. There is also a 3rd party library FMX Linux that lets you build Fire. Monkey applications on Linux. HistoryeditFire. Monkey is based on VGScene, which was designed by Eugene Kryukov of KSDev from Ulan Ude, Russia1 as a next generation vector based GUI. In 2. 01. 1 VGScene was sold to the American company Embarcadero Technologies. Eugene continued to be involved in the development of Fire. Monkey. Along with the traditional Windows only Visual Component Library VCL, Fire. Monkey is included as part of Delphi, CBuilder and RAD Studio since version XE2. Fire. Monkey started out as a vector based UI framework, but evolved to be a bitmap or raster based UI2 framework to give greater control of the look to match target platform appearances. OvervieweditFire. Online Converter Pdf To Jpg With High Resolution. Monkey is a cross platform UI framework, and allows developers to create user interfaces that run on Windows, mac. OS, i. OS and Android. It is written to use the GPU where possible, and applications take advantage of the hardware acceleration features available in Direct. D on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, Open. GL on mac. OS, Open. GL ES on i. OS and Android, and on Windows platforms where Direct. D is not available Windows XP for example it falls back to GDI. Applications and interfaces developed with Fire. Monkey are separated into the two categories, HD and 3. D. 3 An HD application is a traditional two dimensional interface that is, UI elements on the screen. It is referred to as HD because Fire. Monkey utilizes multi resolution bitmaps in its dynamic style system to take advantage of high DPI displays. The second type, a 3. D interface, provides a 3. D scene environment useful for developing visualisations. The two can be freely mixed, with 2. D elements normal UI controls such as buttons in a 3. D scene, either as an overlay or in the 3. D space, and 3. D scenes integrated into the normal 2. D HD interface. The framework has inbuilt support for effects such as blurs and glows, as well as others and animation, allowing modern WPF style fluid interfaces to be easily built. It also supports native themes, so a Fire. Monkey application, can look very close to native on each platform. Capture One Styles Install on this page. Native controls can be used on Windows, mac. OS, i. OS and Android through both third party libraries4 and the Control. Type property. 5Fire. Monkey is not only a visual framework but a full software development framework, and retains many features available with VCL. The major differences are6 Cross platform compatibility. Any visual component can be a child of any other visual component, allowing for creation of hybrid components. Built in styling support now also available in VCLUse of Single precision floating point numbers for position, etc. Support for GPU shader based visual effects such as Glow, Inner Glow, Blur for example and animation of visual components. Due to the framework being cross platform compatible, the same source code and form design can be used to deploy to the various platforms it supports. It natively supports 3. Windows, and 3. 2 bit executables on mac. OS and i. OS, as well as native executables on Android. Fire. Monkey includes platform services that adapt the user interface to the correct behavior and appearance on each target platform. Since its introduction in XE2, there have been numerous improvements in many areas of the framework and it is being actively developed and improved. For example, mac. OS development is integrated tightly into the IDE, requiring a Mac only for deployment. Numerous components such as sensors, touch and GPS have been added, especially useful for those developing mobile apps. There have been significant performance and underlying tech improvements too. FeatureseditGraphicseditFire. Monkey uses hardware acceleration when available on Windows, mac. OS, i. OS, and Android. Direct. 2D or Open. GL can be used on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. On Windows platforms where Direct. D is not available Windows XP for example it falls back to GDI. Open. GL is used on mac. OS. Open. GL ES is used on i. OS and Android. All controls in Fire. Monkey is styleable via the styling system. This is accomplished by attaching a TStyle. Book to the form, and a style is loaded and applied to the form. Platform ServiceseditIn addition to visual component, Fire. Monkey uses a set of services to provide a loosely coupled way of accessing platform specific features independent of the platform. This also shows up as platform default behaviors. For example the Tab. Position of the TTab. Control has a property value of Platform. Default that moves the tabs to the top on Android and the bottom on i. OS automatically to be inline with the design guidelines for those platforms.
