Tiburon suggestions

2008-08-21T17:11:53Z

How about a new newsgroup for Tiburon suggestions ? Suggestions
posted to Quality Central may or may not be read and taken on board,
but there's often very little indication as to whether they've been
accepted or what support they have from users. A forum would let
Codegear know what we really want, rather than them telling us what

newsgroups.codegear.com WORKS FINE !

Go login to newsgroups.codegear.com if you now wish.

Re: Are the borland.public.* groups down now?

Well, I can reach an NNTP server, but it won't give a newsgroups list
so I cannot proceed.
For those who do not like or cannot use the new system, I suggest
going to news:comp.lang.pascal.delphi.m isc and maybe the other
news:comp.lang.pascal.delphi.* groups. There, one need not depend on
the whims of a particular server.

Mike, Thanks. DelphiFeeds.com is are not bad.
Something interesting just happened with the old
newsgroups.borland.com and newsgroups.codegear.com. While they appear
to be working again, the group names all have "borland" replaced with
"embarcadero". Maybe there are using the new server.
With OE I just selected my primary newsgroups.codegear.com account and

DelphiFeeds.com pointed me to a nice blog stated the problems of their
newsgroup server and they will be up again soon enough. Take a break
from the newsgroups for a week and read all the nice blogs that
DelphiFeeds lists. Lovely reading. D2009 (coming out soon in 2008)
will rock!

I got an answer from Nick Hodges, but it included this

So I cannot tell you what he said. You may want to ask him

Team programming

First of all, excuse if this isn't the right group.
I work in a very small company where I used to be me only programmer
(Delphi 2007). In this days, two more programmers will be working with
me and this is my first experience with team programming.
I must now work with documentation tools, bug trackers, etc., to

You can place is on a form visually. Can you?
Do check this feature with VS. You will be surprised!

Re: How to find the reasons for Form's unloading/closing

2008-08-10T09:29:00Z

Gambit,
Thanks for all this information.
I have used this unloading/closing event in VB a lot as in VB the
QueryUnload event has returns the following parameters : Cancel As
Integer, UnloadMode As Integer
We can check the UnloadMode parameter to find the reason for
unloading...
I was hoping that there must be something like this in Delphi also.

Hi,
I'm using D5 Enterprise for ages and I'am still happy under XP SP2.
The only IDE/Debugger issues I came across was:
- If you change anything in the code, NEVER try to recompile on the fly
from within the debugger. Stop debug run first before rebuilding.
Kind regards,
Christian
BTW: I'm quite happy to see such still crowded Delphi newsgroups. Hope

What about:
case UpperCase[mystring[i]) of
'F', 'X', 'E': dothis();
Should work too.

Yes! Well maybe not 64K flags; but I want a set that
have more than 256 flags.
So we *use* your IsUpperCase, etc. for that.
(1) It is another structure for the programmer to learn,
when we should be concerned about simplicity.
(2) I doubt that it would be as fast as the same size set.

Do you *really* want to write a constant set into your source code that
could hold 64K elements? If you're using a "set of Char" as a way of
classifying characters, that would become incredibly tedious when you
wanted to check if the character is uppercase. You can't just do a
simple ['A'..'Z'] because in some regions of the Unicode space, the
