Hi Lars,
The frames of buttons and edits are handled by the current style of the operating system, or if you are using VCL Styles. There are some additional levels of customization when it comes to Custom Framing for edit controls, but rounded corners are not one of the features required.

I think I found out what is happening. I suspect that your application is using the TRzBalloonHints component. Is that correct? When I dropped a TRzBalloonHints component onto my form, I get a similar display issue that you are seeing. The hint caption gets wrapped too soon regardless of how wide the CaptionWidth is set to. Fixing this will require modification to the TRzBalloonHints (or not using the TRzBalloonHints component). I suspect that this issue has been in the components for quite a long time. It’s just that no one ran into it before.

Hi Barry,

What version of Delphi are you using? And what version of Windows? And what version of the components?

I created a test app using Delphi 10.4 running on Windows 10 and I got the following:

I wonder if it related to some other property setting that you have changed on the form. Such as Position. Would it be possible to have you send me the DFM file for your main form? If so, send it to our support email address and I’ll take a look.

Hi Barry,

The nbFirst is conflicting with the enum for the TDBNavigator. Easiest way to resolve is to prefix the enum with the enum type. For example,

dbNav.BtnClick( TRzNavigatorButton.nbFirst );

You could also rearrange the units in the uses clause, but I tend to like adding scope to avoid the conflict regardless of the order of unit names.

Well, since they currently own the components, I guess you could. However, I have no confidence that they will do anything about it. I’m trying to figure out what to do.

Hi David,

Thanks for the offer. If you would like to send a zip file of the CD to Michael, that would be fine. I would appreciate it if you would hold off on posting on your website. I may have a copy of it archived in box packed away. I’ll try to find it and make it available on DelphiByDesign.com.

Hi Barry,

Thank you for the report. I am able to duplicate the issue you describe. The root cause of the issue is that in 10.4 the IDE (including the Form Designer) is using VCL Styles. I’ve received some other reports of similar type problems that are resulting from the Form Designer now rendering controls using VCL Styles at design-time. Unfortunately, I will have to think about how best to handle this in the library. I’ll certainly keep you posted. Fortunately, the controls appear to be working just fine at runtime.

Hi Barry,

Does your main form do anything with the OnClose event? The TRzFormState component hooks into the OnCreate, OnShow, and OnClose events in order to load and save the form position. Given that the component is reading the “saved” position values properly, I suspect that something is interfering with the actual save process.

Hi Michael,

Sorry I missed your follow-up post. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of anyway to get a replacement CD-ROM. I do not have any and the publisher is no longer in business. I suppose you could try eBay.

Hi Hans,

Yes, it would certainly be possible to add a -S option to support searching into sub-directories. Things are a little hectic right now, so I may not be able to get to it soon, but I’ve added it to our feature requests.

Thanks for letting me know about the deployment. The CSSearchFile.exe was included in the CodeSite Studio 5.3.4 release, but not for the Express Edition. We’ll consider including it in the future.

Hi Barry,

You can use the Values string list and use the IndexOf method on that to get the index of the item that contains the value you are looking for.

procedure TForm25.RzButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Idx: Integer;
begin
  Idx := RzComboBox1.Values.IndexOf( 'SomeValue' );
  RzComboBox1.ItemIndex := Idx;
end;

Hi,

I would like to apologize for my apparent lack of response. I, too, have been very disappointed at how the components have been handled, especially with the 10.4 release. After my initial response in this thread, I did reach out to Embarcadero multiple times. I did receive responses, but they were essentially, “it will be coming soon” type messages. I did not think those responses would help, so I decided not to post. However, I should have posted when the components finally appeared on GetIt. Fortunately, others took care of that.

Let me reiterate that I am very disappointed at how the components have been handled, and I share in your frustration. Especially since Raize Software always focused on having all of our products updated and ready to go when a new version of RAD Studio was released.

This is not how it was supposed to be.

Hi Navid,

CodeSite Studio 5.3.4 will be available shortly–updating the website now.

As for the book, I really appreciate the feedback. The biggest challenge for me to produce a new edition is finding the time in my schedule to put it together. I hope someday I’ll be able to do that.

Did the Enabled property of the TRzFormState component on your main form get set to False? I assume that the RegIniFile property is set to an instance of TRzRegIniFile–otherwise, you would get message boxes displaying when you start and stop your app. Did you change any properties of the TRzRegIniFile component?
