It's 32-bit. I have some expensive applications that will not run on 64-bit systems. Also, the industrial controls folks (automated plant operations) paniced when Microsoft talked about eliminating XP and forcing everyone to move to 64-bit OS's. They said that for them that would be equivalent to another Y2K.

I know, this is an old thread, but it just helped me out. I'm keeping an old Compaq Win98 laptop alive so I can take it on trips so I can off-load my photographs to it. Thanks.

My first Java post, as I am finally trying to learn a little Java, and am doing it the hard way, which is by trying to read other people's code, using Google, and the ww3 web site. It's not that difficult to learn what individual commands and all do, but …

Don't forget "Break", to get out of a for i:=... loop.

This must be an old problem whose solution must have been posted many times, but I can't figure out how to phrase it for Google. Anyway, I have a TPanel-like component that has a TLabel-like component on it, and the TLabel thingy fills the whole client area of the TPanel …

I can't say what the best method would be. I'm looking into that myself now except I want to use a dot grid like you see on forms at design time. I'm going to look at the code for TForm to see how Delphi did it. You might try that. …

How to do it? I'm using *.dir in my filter and this does the job of getting OpenDialog to display only directories, but it seems I still have to select a file to select a directory. Is it possible to use the OpenDialog to select a directory? Using ExtratFilepath does …

I've had this problem on several versions of WIndows, Win 2000 for sure, Win NT I think, and also XP. I use Desktop Explorer in a Mac style to copy, delete, and move files around. Each folder opens in a new window, and I drag icons around. Problem is, after …

I guess I should be embarrassed to ask this, but Help seems to be misleading to me, so it's not my fault. ;) I'd like to enter a series of binary numbers in a component I am working on. Delphi's Help (see below) says all I need to do is …

Odd. I print to mine all the time and don't do anything special because it is a USB printer. Likewise, printing to network printers or even Acrobat works using code similar to yours, except of course for the content. Could it be something else, like page offsets, or line/font color, …

I guess we missed your 30 min deadline. How about defining a set of characters that are all vowels, consonants, punctuation, etc., then running through the string and check is each character is in any of these sets? Check the syntax, but it would go something like: Vowels=[A,E,I,O,U]; for i:=1 …

Delphi has a function called Power that does this. Are you interested in only working with integers? You could always do something like for i:=0 to n do X:=X*X; Write(IntToStr(X));

Looks like fun. Reminds me of the ASCII movie version of Star Wars.

I've got a project where I need to draw a a series of bitmaps then save each as a frame in an AVI video, but the drawing process takes too long to reliably do this at the frame rates I want the video to have (25-30 fps). I've seen and …

In Delphi the font height in included as a property of TFont. H := -Font.Height; And is related to the font size (points) and the ppi of your screen. Check Delphi Help's info on TFont. Unless I missed something. This seems to be a basic concept. No offense.

I'm guessing you were getting an access violation error, which usually means you are trying to access properties of an object that has not yet been created. Has form2 been created already but has been hidden or visible:=false? For encryptions, depends on how secure you need it to be. Some …

I'm having a little trouble shutting down a thread that might or might not be executing when the program closes. The thread, actually there are two of them, is started in an OnTimer event, and in OnDestroy I stop the timers then I want to close the threads. The thread …

Or a simple try... except...end block such as [code="Delphi]function IsInteger(MyString:string):boolean; begin try Result:=true; strtoint(MyString); except Result:=false; end; end;[/Code] IntToStrDef sounds easier. ;)

I've got a lot of text to display in an app I am working on. I know that this eats of resources so I'd like to put them somewhere else, like maybe a file that I stuff into the resource file, if that is possible. Also, I'm thinking to the …

I'd like to be able to send a text message to a person from the program I am working on. I've been researching on the web and found a few code examples that according to the comments sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. I've also found some very capable looking software …

A day or so ago I got thoroughly stuck solving a frustrating problem in my little program that somehow has grown to 14000+ lines of new code. It turned out to be an issue where creating a from would change my data before I could display it in the form. …

I'm finally getting around to using COM+ in Delphi 6 Pro, and I need a little help. My COM+ components palette has a TCOMAdminCatalog component, but it seems to be missing the other two, TCOMAdminCatalogCollection and TCOMAdminCatalogObject. How can I get them back? Did I ever have them? I've got …

Won't using a negative number make the start menu open up just before you click it? ;) There are so many things that one can adjust in Windows that it is a shame that these aren't offered during Windows install, starting with basic things like the desktop style, some explorer …

After using my computer for a while (desktop) Explorer starts acting up and sometimes will crash and restart itself. By acting up, what usually happens is that when I open up a Window in Explorer parts of the menu might be missing, or not all of the window is painted, …
