I am trying to use the WebWorkerStarted and WebWorkerFinished from TWebbrowser however the events just don't get fired at all.
How can I get these events working? I want to see which worker threads are getting launched from TWebbrowser.
unit Unit2;
interface
uses
Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Vcl.OleCtrls, SHDocVw;
type
TForm2 = class(TForm)
WebBrowser1: TWebBrowser;
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure WebBrowser1WebWorkerFinsihed(ASender: TObject; dwUniqueID: Cardinal);
procedure WebBrowser1WebWorkerStarted(ASender: TObject; dwUniqueID: Cardinal; const bstrWorkerLabel: WideString);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form2: TForm2;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
WebBrowser1.Navigate('www.stackoverflow.com');
end;
procedure TForm2.WebBrowser1WebWorkerFinsihed(ASender: TObject; dwUniqueID: Cardinal);
begin
// does not fire
end;
procedure TForm2.WebBrowser1WebWorkerStarted(ASender: TObject; dwUniqueID: Cardinal; const bstrWorkerLabel: WideString);
begin
// does not fire
end;
end.
As documented here :
By default, TWebBrowser uses IE7 Standards mode even if the run-time environment installed the latest IE (for example, IE11).
WebWorkers were introduced in IE10 so you must have IE running in a more current mode. At least two registry keys need to be set (more if supporting both 32/64 bit):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
{\Wow6432Node}
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer
\Main
\FeatureControl
\FEATURE_BEHAVIORS
{NEW DWORD -> 'YourApplication.exe'
{ VALUE -> 1
Also (for example, IE11 mode)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
{\Wow6432Node}
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer
\Main
\FeatureControl
\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
{NEW DWORD -> 'YourApplication.exe'
{ VALUE -> 0x2AF8
This will cause the internet explorer instance wraped by TWebBrowser to run in IE11 mode, supporting WebWorkers, etc. You should probably do some sort of sanity check against the installed version of IE before setting this value. More information about valid entries can be found on MSDN.
This still does not raise any WebWorker events for me when navigating to StackOverflow (are you sure it uses them?). As a verification test, this WebWorkers demo page does raise a OnWebWorkerStarted event :
WebBrowser1.Navigate('https://whatwg.org/demos/workers/primes/page.html');

I have met a really weird behaviour using Delphi and DLL.
I want to learn how to create and use DLL's. To do so, I created two files: one containing the DLL, and the other one calling it.
The DLL retrieves informations from a *.ini file (the GetInfos function). When calling it in a form, I get the following error: "Access violation at address XXXXXXXX in "dlltest.dll" module. Read of address 00000000.
I wanted to try some other things, so I created a simple procedure, that just display a message.
The interesting thing is that when I call this procedure (which only purpose is to display a message), I no longer get the Access violation error.
I really do not understand how it can make my code work. I'd really like if someone could give me some explanation. I am using Delphi 10.3 Rio Version 26.0.36039.7899
Here is the code I produced :
dlltest:
library dlltest;
uses
System.SysUtils, System.Classes, System.IniFiles, Winapi.Windows, vcl.dialogs;
var
// Ini file var
iniConfig: TInifile;
procedure SayHello;
var
hello: PChar;
begin
hello := 'Hello world!';
ShowMessage(hello);
end;
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Retrieving .ini file
function GetIni: TInifile;
begin
result := TInifile.Create('.\monitoring.ini');
end;
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function GetInfos: ShortString;
begin
iniConfig := GetIni;
try
result := iniConfig.ReadString('filename', 'start', 'start');
finally
iniConfig.Free;
end; { try }
end; { function GetInfos }
exports
SayHello, GetInfos;
begin
end.
Using dll:
unit testUtilisationDll;
interface
uses
Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils,
System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics, Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms,
Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Déclarations privées }
public
{ Déclarations publiques }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
procedure SayHello; StdCall; external 'dlltest.dll';
function GetInfos: ShortString; StdCall;
external 'dlltest.dll';
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
SayHello;
ShowMessage(GetInfos(self));
end;
end.
When you export the functions, they are using the default calling convention (Register), whereas when you import them, you are telling the import that they're using StdCall calling convention.
The normal case for DLL exported functions is StdCall convention, so you should declare your functions to use this calling convention in your .DLL source:
function GetInfos: ShortString; stdcall;
and
procedure SayHello; stdcall;
Another problem is that when you call GetInfos:
ShowMessage(GetInfos(self));
you are passing it a parameter (self), but your declaration of the import:
function GetInfos: ShortString; StdCall; external 'dlltest.dll';
doesn't list any parameters. You won't be able to compile the program as it is shown in your question...
I want load a image that will be the background of a maximized Form that stays in a dll.
The dll is called from a Vcl Form Application but have a trouble where not is possible load the background image on Form, the dll always crashes.
Thank you by you help.

Your question has a lot of problems, so I would try to answer it as best I can, considering the lack of details.
You are using forms so you are building a VCL application. You need to let the IDE assign the VCL framework to your project.
This line is terribly wrong:
Form1 := TForm1.Create(Form1);
In rare circumstances show a from own itself. I would go and say that most probably this is why your application crashes. See this for details about forms in DLLs.
If you cannot properly debug your application put a beep before that line and one after (make a delay between them).
I think your question should be rather called "how to debug a Delphi project".
What you need to do is to get the exact line on which the program crashes. This will give you an insight of why the error/crash (by the way, you never shown the exact error message) appears.
Go check HadShi (recommended) or EurekaLog (buggy) or Smartinspect (I never tried it. Price is similar to the other two). Make sure that you are running in debug mode, the Integrated debugger is on (see IDE options) and that the debug information is present in your EXE/DLL.
PS: you can still debug your app without have one of the three loggers shown above. Just configure your project properly to run in Debug mode!
To debug the DLL see the 'Run->Parameters' menu. Define there a host application that will load your DLL. If the error is the DLL, the debugger will take control and put the cursor to the line of code that generated the crash.
I don't know what the final purpose/what is that you want to achieve. Because of this I must warn you that you might need to take into consideration these questions:
Do you need to use ShareMM?
Why are you building this as a DLL? Can't the application be written as a single EXE? Or two EXEs that communicate with each other?
I have a Delphi Firemonkey application implementing a TCP server. The server is not opening the port as expected. I can see the form open but netstat reveals that the port is not opened. I am now attempting to debug this issue by trying to put log messages.
The trouble is I have never used Firemonkey before. I am not sure where I can expect to see the log messages.
I have declared a logging service.
LoggingService: IFMXLoggingService;
And then I initialize it
LoggingService := FMX.Platform.TPlatformServices.Current.GetPlatformService(IFMXLoggingService) as IFMXLoggingService;
And then I call this inside the function Tserver.Execute to make sure that it is executed.
if Assigned(LoggingService) then
LoggingService.Log('TserverExecute !',[]);
I am not sure where to expect the output. I have checked various debug terminals, can't seem to find the output string anywhere. It would be great if someone could point out what I am doing wrong?

begin

TCPServer.DefaultPort := 16000;
TCPServer.Bindings.Clear;
Binding := TCPServer.Bindings.Add;
Binding.IP := '0.0.0.0';
Binding.Port := 16000;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
TCPServer.Active := True;
end;
procedure TForm1.TserverExecute(AContext: TIdContext);
var
C : String;
begin
C := AContext.Connection.Socket.ReadLn();
if Assigned(LoggingService) then
LoggingService.Log('TserverExecute !',[]);
if C = 'TESTSTRING' then
begin
AContext.Connection.Socket.Writeln('SENT');
end;
end;
end.
I am not sure where to expect the output.
The documentation for IFMXLoggingService.Log() says:
Displays a message in the Event Log.
The Event Log is a window inside the IDE itself (View > Debug Windows > Event Log). It displays log messages generated by an app during a debugging session. So, you need to run your Firemonkey app inside the debugger in order to see the log messages from IFMXLoggingService.
I have a label printer GoDex EZ2250i and i found some samples with delphi but none seems to works for me i try to compile with couple of dll's and the program doesnt even launch does anyone have experience on printing with this printer with delphi? thanks in advance, also the OS should be supported Windows7 and Windows 8.

closeport();
end;
end.
The program doesn't even launch.
This is symptomatic of a loader failure. For some reason, under the Delphi debugger, loader failures are not reported.
A loader failure typically occurs when:
A dependent DLL cannot be found, or,
A dependent DLL is found, but cannot be loaded, or,
A dependent DLL is loaded, but the imported functions cannot be found within.
To get more diagnostics run the executable outside of the debugger. Quite possibly you are trying to load 64 bit DLLs into your 32 bit process.
If diagnosis proves tricky, go back to the documentation for the library. Make sure you have installed all pre-requisites. Another common failure mode is a missing C++ runtime.
As a last resort, use Dependency Walker. Use the 32 bit version, and execute you program under Profile mode. This will pin-point the dependency failure.
Is there a good analogue/equivalent to JEDI Desktop Alert (a kind of a balloon in the right bottom corner of a desktop)?
Balloon hint cannot be showed like a stack (a new hint is on the top of others), but JEDI Desktop Alert can do it.
May be some one knows, why does a show event of that component fire twice instead of once? :)
Thank your for suggestions!
This might be a bit late, but below is a basic example of showing 5 stacked alert windows on top of each other in bottom right corner, using Jedi Desktop Alert.

TMS Software has TAdvAlertWindow, an "Outlook 2003, 2007 style alert window".
It's a commercial component, available separately or as part of the TMS Component Pack.
Update: The above image was taken from TMS website. As Andreas has pointed the font is not antialiased (it's a bitmapped font, probably MS Sans Serif). I've tested the trial version of the component and setting the font to Tahoma works as expected:
