Hi guys,

there is a new update available for CrossTalk:

https://www.atozed.com/2025/04/crosstalk-2-0-36/

Several important bug fixes

Enjoy! 

Has anyone successfully used FastMM4 with C++Builder 11.3 and IntraWeb 15.6.7 (or even IW 16)?

I followed the instructions in FastMM4BCB.cpp. I get many compiler errors, like these:


[bcc32 Error] typeinfo.h(154): E2367 Can't inherit RTTI class from non-RTTI base 'exception'
    typeinfo.h(154): class  bad_cast : public std::exception {};

[bcc32 Error] xlocale(670): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'codecvt<char16_t,char,int>::in(int &,const char *,const char *,const char * &,char16_t *,char16_t *,char16_t * &) const'
    xlocale(667): 
result  in(_Statype& _State,

const _Byte *_First1, const _Byte *_Last1, const _Byte *& _Mid1,
_Elem *_First2, _Elem *_Last2, _Elem *& _Mid2) const
{ // convert bytes [_First1, _Last1) to [_First2, _Last)
return (do_in(_State,
_First1, _Last1, _Mid1, _First2, _Last2, _Mid2));
}



Any advice?

I recently noticed that new component in the IW 16 line IWToast
I am using - testing 16.0.8

I have an iWForm with a Background colour set.
If I drop a IWToast on the iwForm - the background colour becomes WHITE.
64 bit app, or 32 bit app compile

Anybody else notice that?
It's a potential nice addition to ShowMessage or ShowNotification.

I inherited an older Intraweb based application and updated to ver 14 in Delphi 10.3 Rio I do not have access to
original version of Delphi and Intraweb originally used.

When I try to build it's missing the file IWInitStandAlone listed in the project source. Can't find it with a disk wide search. Is
there a replacement file for it? Of should I roll back to a previous version of Intraweb if possible.

Hi everyone,
We’ve been exploring ways to integrate Delphi into some of our internal tools for managing real estate projects, including customer data, payment tracking, and follow-ups. It’s been amazing to see how versatile Delphi still is for desktop apps—even now in 2025.
As part of our ongoing projects, we recently launched Riya Enclave – a premium residential apartment project located in Adambakkam, Chennai. We're using a small Delphi-based CRM system to manage leads and follow-ups efficiently. It’s helping us stay organized and automate repetitive tasks like sending reminders and receipts.
Would love to hear from others here:

• Anyone else using Delphi for real estate, construction, or similar domains?
  
• Any suggestions on integrating IntraWeb for internal dashboards?
  

Normally, when one starts a standalone Intraweb application one gets a window which shows the Intraweb licensed particulars in the "log" section of the screen. For some reason I have one of my programs which does not do this and it then hangs. All others work fine.

I have tried comparing ServerController details between the problematic program and ones that work but cannot see anything obvious.

Can anybody suggest what I should be looking for to solve this problem?

Thanks

Bruce

64 bit IDE is available in RAD Studio 12.3.

IntraWeb 16 should supply 64 bit designtime package too.

I've used sendfile before in Delphi applications (10.4 Sydney) to send files built with ReportBuilder to the clients downloads folder.  All has worked well for years.

Now, I'm writing a new application to do this using the following code:

Hi guys, 

there is a new update containing a couple of important bug fixes:

https://www.atozed.com/2025/03/intraweb-16-0-8/

Enjoy! 

We have a large IW application dating back some 20 years. It is designed for desktop/laptop use and (currently) does not work very well on a mobile device (it basically requires a lot of zooming and panning from the users in order to see / do what they want on a phone). For this reason we also added a mobile friendly web application built with IW + CGDevTools JQuery Mobile, providing a subset of the functionality in the main web application. This combination has been sufficient for most of our customers, but now we have a large public procurement where our system would be a very good candidate, except that one of their requirements is that the (main) web application should be "responsive", i.e. automatically adapt to desktop/laptop/tablet/phone screens.

Technically, all web forms in the main web application inherit from either a "base menu web form" or a "base web dialog", both of which are inherited from the same "base web form". These base forms both contain some common visual elements (e.g. at the top of the screen) and some common code. We also use frames a lot, both as reusable parts in web forms and for modal dialogs. Controls used in the forms are mainly standard ones that existed in the early IntraWeb days, e.g. TIWLabel, TIWEdit, TIWButton, TIWCheckBox, TIWComboBox (and the data-aware versions), TIWDBGrid, TIWMenu, TIWImageFile, TIWLink, etc. And we have CSS files to control colors, fonts. etc. 

What are the options for making such an existing IW application "responsive"? I assume one option would be to use IW Bootstrap controls? But I guess that would mean rewriting basically the whole web application? I could note that we could probably be satisfied with the web application being just "acceptable" on a mobile device, so that we can "tick the box" in the procurement requirement list for this potential customer. Then in practice, their end users will probably use our web application from a desktop/laptop anyway.

All feedback on this is appreciated.

Best regards
