Flattr have changed their terms an conditions. Since I haven't received a single cent via Flattr, I really can't be bothered what exactly they have changed and whether that's good or bad for me personally. So I have closed that account for good. That leaves only PayPal, if you want to make a donation to … Continue reading I’m no longer accepting GExperts donations via Flattr

dzPrepBuild 1.3.2 released
I was made aware that dzPrepBuild no longer works with .dof files. Since I don't use it with Delhi 6 or 7 any more, I didn't realize that myself. The bugfix was easy, just pass the correct parameter. The new version is available from SourceForge. Note that, for whatever reason, SoureForge still claims that the … Continue reading dzPrepBuild 1.3.2 released
Delphi instance methods and value types
David Heffernan commented on Girish Patil's post on G+ But you should never make instance methods on value types that mutate the value. Otherwise you can call such a method on an instance passed to a function as a const parameter.

I have used that money in turn for donations to Pi-hole®: A black hole for Internet advertisements Rapid Environment Editor PDF … Continue reading How I used some more of the money donated to GExperts
Changing the order of TabSheets in a PageControl in Delphi
The method of changing the order of the TabSheets in a PageControl in Delphi is not obvious. Apparently there is no drag and drop support (at least not in Delphi 2007). You have to change the PageIndex property. So, if you want to insert a new page, add it and then change its PageIndex to … Continue reading Changing the order of TabSheets in a PageControl in Delphi
