When ListView items are just being created, the drawable objects that comprise the visual presentation of the content are not created immediately. This usually happens when the ListView is being painted for the first time... READ MORE Closing the Class Helpers Private Access Loophole - Marco Cantù As many of you know, Embarcadero made a change to the Delphi compiler in 10.1 Berlin to close an existing bug that allowed access to private data of any class via a class helper.

I recently received an email from a developer who had Algol and C# programming experience and wanted to get started with C++ programming using C++Builder.

This is generally used when you create a drawing that does not change often; drawing once to an offscreen bitmap and then as needed on repaints to the real canvas can be very efficient. However... READ MORE Snapping Windows to monitor halves / quadrants - Thomas Mueller You probably know about the Windows 7+ feature to snap a window to the left or right side of the monitor via Windows+Left / Windows+Right hotkey.
