In the last couple of days I have uploaded new versions of my AsyncCalls 2.92 and VCL Fix Pack 1.4 units as well as the new IDE Fix Pack 2.7 that is now also available for RAD Studio 2010 (not much to fix yet).

The IDE Fix Pack for RAD Studio 2010 fixes the undo bug that destroys the editor content every now and then. And it works around a Vista 64 application compatibility related problem that occurs on my computer. When RAD Studio installs the *.fnt font file the Adobe Type Manager DLL atmfd.dll is loaded what causes Vista 64 (for some weeks now) to load and unpack all system32\catroot files with real time priority what freezes all applications including the shell. I have never seen the IDE using this font. The now IDE Fix Pack disables the installation of the font and no atmfd.dll is loaded, what means no catroot directory is loaded what makes the IDE start without a 9 ssecond total system freeze.


AsyncCalls 2.92 changes

  • Added: Support for RAD Studio 2010
  • Restored: Delphi 2009 Update 1 fixed the compiler generic bug. All generic methods are now available again.


VCL Fix Pack 1.4 changed (RAD Studio 2010 doesn’t need VCL Fix Pack)

  • Added: QC #74646: Buffer overflow in TCustomClientDataSet.DataConvert with ftWideString
  • Fixed: TTabSheet looked stange if used with SilverThemes


IDE Fix Pack 2.7 changes

  • Added fix for: Undo destroys editor buffer (2007-2010)
  • Added fix for: Vista 64 IDE startup delay (2007-2010)
  • Added fix for: 64 bit Debugger assertion (2007, 2009)
  • Added: QC #74646: Buffer overflow in TCustomClientDataSet.DataConvert with ftWideString (2007, 2009)
  • Fixed: TTabSheet looked strange if used with SilverThemes (2007, 2009)

    Hi Andreas,

    +1 vote for Object Inspector F1

    IDE Fix Pack 2.7 changes
    Fixed: TTabSheet looked stange if used with SilverThemes (2007, 2009)

    Should “stange” be “strange”?

    “stange” should be “stange”. And I used Copy&Paste all over the place so I’ll have to fix that one everywhere. Damn.

    The undo fix is badly needed; thanks for this!

    Is there a chance that this fix will be applied to the actual editor source code? The hints you’re giving (e.g. “RAD Studio 2010 doesn’t need VCL Fix Pack”) suggest a strong “yes” 🙂
