Re: EKON 13: Intellibook – An Exciting New Idea for Publishing Magazines and Books

The trick that worked for me, was to start the Realtek driver setup in Vista compatibility mode. Under standard Win7 mode it just terminated with a message that it wouldn't work for that OS version.

Got windows 7 working on this hardware. Get the latest vista driver direct from realtek, wifi started working for me. That is cersion 5_6.9067.0710.2008. Also, ethernet can be had directly from JMicron's website (it's a JMC260). Have a few other missing drivers at this point in 7 but now i can handle it from the netbook. Hope this helps.

Ah, I'm not the only one having problems. Finally I also ended with the installation of good old XP.
But: til now I couldn't get that UMTS modem working. Google "said" that I might have to make some firmware/bios-update?!? But who is the manufacturer of that notebook?
Nearly 40 hours of harcore try-and-error but the UMTS modem has to be "activated" before drivers can be installed. The activation key (<Fn>+<ß> or <_> in US) won't activate anything :-(

EDIT: got the solution: The netbook has got a slot for a sim card but the modem itself is missing, it's an option! LOOOL - I will send the netbook back, what shall I do with a card slot and no modem?!? Spend a hundred more euros? Silly thing!

It could be that it's an issue with WPA and WPA2 (I only tried those). At ekon there was an open WLAN. I didn't get back to Hadi yet - I don't know if he tried with a secured WLAN ...

Did you ask Hadi about Windows 7? As far as I understood it, he did install Windows 7 on the Intellibook and I don't remember him mentioning any problems...

Re: How to prevent locked forms after sending a file with IntraWeb

Does it help if you disable "LockOnSubmit" and "LockUntilLoaded" on that form?

Yes you are correct. Atozed did not convert the compression unit to Unicode.

Re: IntraWeb compression

cornerskir — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 06:05:45 -0000

IntraWeb compression doesn't work with Delphi 2009. The required code is commented in IWCompress.pas. There are a lot of errors if I remove comments manually.

Re: Advanced IntraWeb Async Event Handling

omonien — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:27:58 -0000

RegisterCallBack tackes just 2 params:
1: CallBackName:string - will be used as name to identify the callback function. This name needs to be unique.
2: A method reference of type method of object(EventParams: TStringList).

On the client side you can then call processAjaxEvent(event, null,"CallBackName",false, null, true); to call the newly registered server-side method.

General Tackett — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:28:42 -0000

what other things can you do with registercallback? How do you know what items you can use as arguments?

Not sure how much this affects older versions of Windows. I've been running Delphi 2009 under Vista 64 for almost a year now and never seen this problem once, even in multi-threaded apps.

Re: Welche Delphi Version wird am meisten eingesetzt?

sgingter — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:52:05 -0000

Hrm. Actually another message one could think of is: "Delphi (even an update) is too expensive to upgrade on a regular basis."

A Delphi Prof. update is 400€ per seat. Also there is a migration effort to be done and over all training costs are necessary sometimes. Upgrading simply is too expensive for my customer that has the D7 projects out there. Upgrading roughly 20 seats, upgrading all used components (if there are upgrades for 2k9), training the developers and migrating the applications is approximately an investment of 30.000€ (20k in licences + one or two weeks of training). But then 20+ developers are busy for at least another one or two weeks just migrating the current projects. This have to be counted in additionally.

If this upgrade will make the team more efficient that an investment of this size will pay out after a year or so is questionable. Let alone the current economy problems.

I can fully understand all people not upgrading. I doubt I will buy weaver. The things that pay my bills are D7 and Prism. In this order ;-)

Re: Welche Delphi Version wird am meisten eingesetzt?

omonien — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:13:16 -0000

So the conclusion is that Delphi 7 is the Delphi version you are still using most. We are not looking for the /reasons/ though why you don't use any newer Delphi version. That might be something to be researched later.

We are not comparing Delphi Prism against C# or VB.Net here. We only want to know if there are any dev shops working on .NET projects with Delphi Prism for more than 50% of their time. Again, we are not looking for /reasons/ why one chose C# over Prism or vice versa.

The current (non representative) result is, that D2007 is used as the main dev tool by 40% of all who voted. D2009 has a rate of 20%, which is not too bad, but after one year surprisingly less. If that trend should be manifested later, then I think this would be an important message for Delphi's product management: "A release cycle of one year is too short"

Ey, come on ;-)
I'm using Prism mainly for my own work and some customer's projects and Delphi 7 when I work for a certain customer on his projects. After that, that is what I do most. So I'd love to chose Prism, but when looking at the amount of work I have to choose D7.

Why is Prism as another technology (native vs. .Net) listed here anyway? There should be another poll where delphians can select if they use Prism over C# / VB.Net / F# / IronWhatsoever .Net languages.
