Nugget: Class Hierarchy for Dummies
A short case study on implementing Class Inheritance in our Fault Monitoring System. Demonstrated via a plethora of label layouts.
Nugget: Syntax Highlighting
The minefield that is syntax highlighting :-
- Determining viewports. Balancing text block size against speed of highlighting.
- Syntax highlighting routine – as fast and efficient as possible.
- When to trigger the routine. What events are covered and what are not (currently).
Discussion: XE7
Brian looks in more depth into some of the new features found in RAD Studio XE7 to save you from doing the research yourself.
Please note: This is the provisional and is subject to change. We will update this page with future meetings soon.
