Programming the Windows ShellLearn how to programmatically operate on tray icons, shortcuts, system dialogs and other secrets of the Windows Shell

"The Big Brother" Delphi Code Toolkit Wanna be a secret agent? Interested in monitoring a user machine in every way? Need to know what happens with Windows, what files are created, what Registry changes are being done? Need to hide your application from Windows? Want to create a kios style application? No problem, Delphi know hidden Windows secrets!

Local Network, Internet - Read or Write Data From EverywhereDelphi provides numerous objects to allow you write applications that exchange data over the network (Internet, intranet, local). There are many situation when you need to allow for two applications to communicate. Again, Delphi provides numerous ways to allow you to write applications that exchange custom data

ListWizard: does at the source level what generics do for you. Useless. OOPFormWizard: let you remove the form components from the publsihed section, making them private, by adding to the form the required manual initialization code. Settings: change menu position and enable clipboard tracking (shaky). third option is useless... About: a very old about box. Object Inspector Font: let's you change the font of that pane. Great for presentations, not all fonts adapt well. Rebuild Wizard: let's you see all projects in a directory tree and build them all in sequence Clip History Viewer: last 9 text entries of the clipboard (if tracking is enabled) VCL Hierarchy: a tree of all currently installed components, including third party ones DB Form Wizard (likely the most usefull!): like the database wizard of the early days, but based on dbExpress. Placed SQLConnection, SQLDataset, DatasetProvider, CleintDataSet, and a series of DBEdits in a form, all at once. No ".net safe" warnings: disables the safe type, safe cast, safe code warnings of the current project. Handly when updating very old projects. Bookmark list (nice): show in a dockable pane the list of bookmarks in the current file. A long due feature of the IDE. Palette Info: shows in the message pane the name of the elemetns of the Tool Palette (list of components and groups). Interesting only for exploring the internals. Add to project manager for .ini: Add a project manager menu items for INI files (useless) ShowDebug Inspector: opens the Debug Inspector (a run time object inspector) for the IDE, letting you view the internals (forms, component, etc) and change some of them. The same component is avaialble for use in your own applications. Publish Project: produced an HTML-ized version of the source code. Very crappy, you get "chinese" due to Unicode errors... will work on it.

WYSIWYG visual IDE. Just drag & drop components onto a form. Delphi-style application and forms. Visual and non-visual components, delphi-style event handlers. Coding in Delphi only. Minimal use of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Easy debugging. Run application, refresh browser page and debug. Truly stateful server-side applications. Close and open browser – and return to the same state. AJAX techniques. Asynchronous requests. Page never reloads. Timers, publishers (let you deliver pictures, HTML and arbitrary content to page). TDataSource-compatible components to view and edit data. High performance. Delphi creates native server-side code. Standalone executable, Apache module or FastCGI application. Full cross-browser applications.
