Keep a "Non Modal" window active when a modal window is being shown
Deepak Shenoy
– Recently, I was exploring writing an ADO SQL logging tool (sorta like BDE monitor) - more details on that later - which would show SQL statements on the screen as they ran. All was well until I figured I needed to be able to see my SQL logging form even when a Modal window was being displayed. ...

Deepak Shenoy
– Borland is selling off its IDEs. That means Delphi, C++ Builder, JBuilder and other IDE tools are being sold to another company or investor. (who hasn't yet been identified, so will the real buyer-of-IDE please stand up.) ...Read the rest of Deepak Shenoy's article....

Yes, a Delphi Roadmap.
Deepak Shenoy
– It's here, finally. From Danny's post on Borland's Delphi Roadmap, the whole "strategy" thing is a lot clearer. So we have a future, for both the Win32 and .NET side of things. What we have is: Dexter in 2005 Language improvents: (e.g. operator overloading) Speed: IDE Startup and runtime speed ...

"Beginning to Offshore"?????
Deepak Shenoy
– Why do people write like this? Choice phrases: "clichés, outlook and a realistic suggestions" But, flourishing outsourced development engages more than defining a product spec. "remember: the more an outsourcer comprehends the milieu, the better prepared it will be..." Overall the entire ...

Microsoft Research?
Deepak Shenoy
– I just visited Dan Miser's Blog and found a link to Microsoft Research Downloads. I knew they did some research out there, but this stuff is just awesome! They have Allegiance- a multiplayer space-combat game, source code to attach to WiFi Networks using a single WiFi card, and even a safe versoin ...

Delphi problem with uploading compressed streams
Deepak Shenoy
– In my Advanced Web Services article, I had demonstrated how you could do Datapacket compression by compressing the ENTIRE packet before it was sent from the server, and decompressing it at the client end. (Applies to encryption also) Now I'd said you could do this the other way around too : ...

Last Day at Agni
Deepak Shenoy
– It's my last day at Agni Software. It's been a remarkable 7 years here, and I've had a lot of fun and learning at Agni. I was a tinhorn when I started, and I'm a little less of one now - I don't file notches on my guns, but I haven't learnt to shoot any better. (They keep moving the targets!) Arun ...

Skype - and how to use it in Delphi
Deepak Shenoy
– Skype has a public API, and it's almost impossible to find. Actually there's no specific file for the API - Skype itself responds to calls using WM_COPYDATA. It'll also send you notifications - stuff that you must handle in your form's Message Handler. Ok, this isn't that simple to explain. Check ...

.Text Comment Spam
Deepak Shenoy
– I got hit recently with a lot of Comment Spam on my TeamB blog. It was incredibly boring to sit and delete all of the spam comments - which, because of what I would only call laziness, had grown to around 500 in number - since .Text only allows you to delete one comment at a time! And each time it ...

Setting focussed button with Message Dlg
Deepak Shenoy
– One of the things I've had to do manually many times is to have dialog boxes pop up, but logically "OK" should not be the focussed button. (Like "Do you want to format this disk?") In Delphi, you'd usually call MessageDlg for a dialog that had a Yes/No/Cancel or an Ok/Cancel input only - but that ...
