It seems that the popular screen reader (software which translates text on the computer screen into spoken audio for the blind) JAWS has problems with applications produced in Delphi when they are manifested for Windows XP. I don’t know if the problem is limited only to Delphi applications, though. What I do know is that […]
I’ve never particularly liked the idea of OnUpdate events.
MelanderBlog is the home of Anders Melander, who, among other things, developed the TGIFImage component included with Delphi 2007. This site includes a number of useful Delphi components.

Most of the user interface for our Delphi applications is generated dynamically, at runtime. When we display this dynamically-generated user interface in a page control, we don’t generate the user interface for each page until you first go to it. This is for performance reasons, as there is some overhead to this, mostly […]

OK, I’m not trying to steal Joe White’s thunder here on Delphi macros, but when I plugged Joe’s series, I mentioned that I use Delphi macros for converting SQL created in a query analysis tool into Delphi constants, and commenter Jack asked for more details on this. I thought it would make a better […]
Joe White is blogging about Delphi IDE macros, so I’ll throw in a useful tip: When recording a macro, it’s OK to make a mistake. Just type Ctrl+Z (Undo) or hit Backspace and retype what you were doing; the correction becomes part of the macro, and it’s a lot easier than re-recording the macro from […]

I recently wrote about limitations in creating IntraWeb components dynamically when using the template processor component. It looks like the Arcana template processor, recently released as open source, may allow this. Worth investigating, anyway.

For the past couple of days I’ve been working on an experimental IntraWeb (a.k.a., "VCL for the Web") project. Since I typically generate user interfaces dynamically, I wanted to see how that worked with IntraWeb. On the surface, it’s fairly similar to the regular VCL, but there are some important differences.
