Delphi and stuff
– A Delphi Wiki has been started on http://delphi.wikia.com. I think it's a brilliant idea and I hope it takes off well and becomes a great community resource. So please also spread the word to other Delphi developers.

Shenoy's PInvoke Live Template
Delphi and stuff
– Shenoy has written a great example of a live template extension. It uses PInvoke web service from the PInvoke.net website. For Delphi code, it also uses the BabelCode web service to translate the declaration to Delphi (since PInvoke.net only returns C# and perhaps VB.NET code, I think). So, you're ...

Blame
Delphi and stuff
– A few people have asked me if I plan to include Subversion blame functionality. Here's a screenshot which shows what I've done: Running blame may take a long time, especially with a file with a lot of history, so I wrote it to run in a separate thread. The hint shows the commit log message of the ...

If you're interested in how to write a dockable IDE form, see Corbin's article and example. Who knows, ...

Subversion editor view
Delphi and stuff
– Today I've played with the idea of a new Subversion editor view in the Delphi 2006 IDE. To add a new editor view to the editor, you have to implement ICustomEditorView interface and register it with a RegisterEditorView call. You'll need to add EditorViewSupport unit to your uses clause. This unit ...

Help Insight
Delphi and stuff
– I like Help Insight in Delphi 2006. I think it's going to prove to be very useful. The cool thing is that it's customizable: the popup window is a browser view of an HTML page generated from the XML compiler output by applying HelpInsight.xsl and HelpInsight.css files located in your $(BDS)\Objrepos ...

Subversion in my Delphi IDE
Delphi and stuff
– Subversion in my Delphi IDE For over a year, I've been using Subversion version control software to manage my source code, with TortoiseSVN as client on Windows. I find TortoiseSVN extremely helpful in my everyday work. It's implemented as a Windows shell extension (so it's integrated with Windows ...

CC2209 fix
Delphi and stuff
– I've just fixed a memory leak in my entry #2209, titled "Access client's IP address from a DataSnap remote data module" on Borland's CodeCentral. The problem was on the COM server side, in the included DSnapCom unit. The client's IP address (passed in by httpsrvr.dll or scktsrvr.exe as an ...

Free Threaded Marshaler
Delphi and stuff
– When writing a DataSnap appserver, you should probably try to make it thread-safe and register it to use the multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model (ThreadingModel = tmFree) because it gives you total control over synchronization and optimization of your code. But writing thread-safe code also ...

Installing Delphi 2006
Delphi and stuff
– A few days ago, I received my shiny, fresh, the latest and greatest Delphi 2006 in a beautiful package. Very exciting! With much regret, I had to put it aside because I was busy at work and I simply didn't have time to play with it yet. I put it on my table, and I squinted at it occasionally while ...

Erik's OpenTools FAQ
Delphi and stuff
– I've just noticed that Erik's OpenTools API FAQ and Resources web page links to my CodeCentral entry as an example on getting the target executable's file name from Delphi. Cool! :-) Note that you only need this for Delphi version 7 or earlier; newer versions already expose TargetName property.
