Re: Minimised Form Caption

Not something I've tried to change before, but I wonder if you could achieve the desired effect using a skin which has a bigger title bar/font, which you could potentially switch to/from when the form is minimised/restored.

Re: Dictionary Locking

Hi Stephen, You're correct, before setting a reference or key value, you should check whether it's actually changing to avoid locking & updating a collection. I also use this same rule of thumb when updating a variable used as part of a condition to avoid collections being locked when the condition ...

Re: jadeDevelopmentUserInfo

Hi, I've not used Delphi to develop these before, but the following may help to diagnose the problem. Is the environment ANSI or UNICODE? The latter may explain issues like that if the PChar typedef doesn't match how the JADE include headers define the Character type. It may be useful to start with ...

Re: Are notifications cleaned up when subscriber is deleted?

Yes, I believe so - It's at least something I see being done in complicated areas that use a lot of notifications as a safeguard to avoid any 1227 exceptions, where there's a risk specific notifications may not have been explicitly ended using endNotification or endClassNotification.

Re: How to invoke type method in context of class variable

Using Object@<method> or Form@<method> will always invoke the base implementation on those classes, whereas I want any re-implementations to be invoked when iterating through their sub-classes.

Re: How to invoke type method in context of class variable

In my case, it was Object as I'd added the type method to that class, but I believe you'd be able to put in any subclass, i.e. Form for the other use case I'd described.

How to invoke type method in context of class variable

Hi, For anyone who's starting to use type methods, here's a trick for invoking type methods in the context of a class variable. // With 'anyClass' being a Class variable retrieved or parameter supplied ( anyClass.number.String & ".1" ).asObject().<Type>@<method>(); This works by faking the OID (rath...

Re: Jade 2018 release date

It would be nice to hear from JADE Support on this ... Something I'm keen to see is how the parameterised constructors will work. Roadmap indicates the plan is to support multiple constructors, I do hope that meant we've ended up getting some support for method overloading in general as well. Guessi...
