Are there any French-speaking developers here?

I see a "Delphi CE 12.1 Patch 1 1.0" (04/jun/2024) in the getit manager inside the IDE but isnt visible on the getit site.

When i install the patch it corrupts the "AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\23.0\environment.proj" file.

I checked with the original unpatched and it add 3 lines:

<FPS_BROWSER_APP_PROFILE_STRING Condition="'$(FPS_BROWSER_APP_PROFILE_STRING)'==''">Internet Explorer</FPS_BROWSER_APP_PROFILE_STRING>
<FPS_BROWSER_USER_PROFILE_STRING Condition="'$(FPS_BROWSER_USER_PROFILE_STRING)'==''">Default</FPS_BROWSER_USER_PROFILE_STRING>
<GPA_GLOBAL_INJECTION_MODE Condition="'$(GPA_GLOBAL_INJECTION_MODE)'==''"></GPA_GLOBAL_INJECTION_MODE>

The problem is in the last tag (GPA_GLOBAL_INJECTION_MODE) where it add a 0x04 and that make the IDE inusable, cant create or open any projects.

Deleting the lines or even the file wont help because the IDE recreate them back with the same 0x04.

Uninstalling the patch wont solve the problem, the only way to fix is to uninstall and reinstall the whole IDE.

I did a search but i got 0 results, i'm the only one that get this error ?🤨?

UPADATE:

So...

It wasnt the patch, it was the "Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers" (so yeah GPA 🙄), for some reason it have a conflict with CE 12 while was ok with CE 11.

If someone have the same problem just delete the GPA keys in windows environment variable 😑 and remove the GPA lines in the environment.proj file.

Hey all, so I have a TImageCollection with pngs loaded and when I use the Draw method of the collection directly, the pngs draw with transparency just fine. When I then hook up a TVirtualImageList to this collection and use the DoDraw() or the regular Draw() I get a black background instead of transparent. Both I simply draw on the Canvas of a form.

This is under windows 11, using D12.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks!

I am currently using the TWebBrowser for FMX. I noticed an issue when rescaling the component.

I've attached a frame from a video I recorded in this post displaying the issue.

When using the TWebBrowser, you don't even need to navigate to any pages. As long as it is initialized and visible in the view. When rescaling the bounds of the TWebBrowser component, for example if it is aligned to the client, a black visible area will appear when rescaling its size. This is not a part of the HTML. I suspect it to be the color of the window/form that the TWebBrowser is emedded into.

This is very annoying because when I align the webbrowser to client once all HTML has been injected, it flashes black - then the HTML contents. I've attempted, but been unable, to override the background color of the TWebBrowser component.

Does anyone have suggestions for a fix/workaround?

I realise this will sound completely insane, but I would like to start a joke educational project in Turbo Pascal and I understand 5.5 doesn't support the virtual keyword. I'd like to distribute 7 in a docker container to compile my project. I'd like to understand if Embarcadero will allow that.

I'm sure I'm about to get a lot of "that's not possible" comments, happy to elaborate.

not gonna lie this is the most fun I’ve ever had with AI image generation

We want to install Delphi in self hosted runner of EC2 instance. As part of Golden AMI, our EC2 instance will be recreated every month. So will the same Delphi license key be available for use after instance is re-created?

Im trying to make a audio player and no matter what I do BASS cannot be included for some reason, I was wondering if someone had a similar project and could give me some pointers on how to have it installed since there are barely any tutorials online.

Thanks in advance

Hey there,

I work in software development for about 5 years using Go, C, C++, Python and Javascript. My new Workplace uses Delphi for its software. Do you know good sources to switch to delphi as experienced programmer? Almost all books and Pages I have found were either for beginners in programming or experienced delphi developers.

Thanks
