This trend continues and Delphi 2009 supports building web service servers and clients:-) In this post I’m going to describe all steps neccessary to build simple web service server and client applications in Delphi 2009.

Ever since before Delphi 1, the (then Delphi only) RAD Studio IDE has been full of home-grown multicast event class types. I usually refer to these as an “event bus.” This is from my hardware days when I designed microcontroller based…

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.

From a recent thread in borland.public.delphi.nativeapi.win32:
There’s a problem in the way Delphi handles multiple open forms. Delphi applications can have multiple forms, and you will notice that each form does not appear on the task bar.

Delphi supports this type of forms by providing the FormStyle property for the TForm class. All you have to
do is to set this property to fsStayOnTop. So why did I write this article? Well, there are a few
things to consider:
Using fsStayOnTop causes flickering of the form, because it recreates the window handle.
