GetText should be able to do, search for “extract” at http://dxgettext.po.dk/documentation/how-to If all you need is to translate GUI and maybe resourcestring in sources, and the inline string constants in Pascal sources are not needed for translation, then you can try Delphi built-in method. However forums say that ITE is buggy. But at least that … Read more
The following gets the job done: hWnd = CreateWindow(…); SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, WS_POPUP | WS_MINIMIZEBOX); SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, 0); ShowWindow(hWnd, …); You were probably missing WS_MINIMIZEBOX.
Assuming that you have no need for floating point exceptions to be unmasked in your application code, far and away the simplest thing to do is to mask exceptions at some point in your initialization code. The best way to do this is as so: SetExceptionMask(exAllArithmeticExceptions); This will set the 8087 control word on 32 … Read more
To put things in to perspective, look at the things that were added between Delphi 7 and Delphi 2007. This was a significant high water mark. http://blogs.codegear.com/nickhodges/2007/03/28/33579 http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/VCLAndRTLEnhancementsSinceDelphi7D7.aspx Delphi 2009 sets the bar even higher. http://blogs.codegear.com/pawelglowacki/2008/11/03/38527 http://blogs.codegear.com/chrispattinson/2008/09/19/38897 Here are some of my favourites: Generics (naturally) and generic collections in the RTL.

First of all you have to get the right window. As sharptooth already noted you should use GetForegroundWindow instead of GetDesktopWindow. You have done it right in your improved version. But then you have to resize your bitmap to the actual size of the DC/Window. You haven’t done this yet. And then make sure you … Read more
The key to understanding this issue is the Type Compatibility and Identity topic in the language guide. I suggest you have a good read of that topic. It is also helpful to simplify the example. The inclusion of generics in the example serves mainly to complicate and confuse matters. program TypeCompatibilityAndIdentity; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} type TInteger1 … Read more
Indy has TIdMultipartFormDataStream for this purpose: procedure TForm1.SendPostData; var Stream: TStringStream; Params: TIdMultipartFormDataStream; begin Stream := TStringStream.Create(”); try Params := TIdMultipartFormDataStream.Create; try Params.AddFile(‘File1’, ‘C:\test.txt’,’application/octet-stream’); try HTTP.Post(‘http://posttestserver.com/post.php’, Params, Stream); except on E: Exception do ShowMessage(‘Error encountered during POST: ‘ + E.Message); end; ShowMessage(Stream.DataString); finally Params.Free; end; finally Stream.Free; end; end;
