(I thought I posted this--and wanted to update it without the 3rd party controls, but I cannot find the original post).

In the attached VCL demo (and here is a link: www.tbinc.com/misc/Curved%20Lines.zip ; put the Data.INI file in the EXE directory before starting the EXE), I draw curved lines, but they are not as smooth as I would like--a bit jagged.

Any suggestions on how to make them smooth?

VCL

In attached demo project (also available here: www.tbinc.com/misc/Curved%20Lines.zip ) I am trying to draw a header image that includes a curved line, but the curved lines are not visually smooth (look closely). I am using PolyDraw() and FillPath().

Any suggestions for how to improve this?

Thank you,

This is never a good start to an explanation :-). I'm kinda sure they don't use it.

Thank you for your response.

Does this forum replace the old newsgroups? Is there any explanation of the change? I miss the community of the newsgroups (though I haven't been active as of late, I always liked being able to go back).

3rd try is the charm?

I have worked on a problem of putting the image of a TChart in a report for days now--and haven't had a solution. I think i finally do--but I need to get access to the current settings to Windows Display Settings (i.e. font size; e.g. 100%, 150%, 200%, etc).

Does anyone know how the API call to get the current settings for Windows' Display setting?

Oh, and I miss the old forums.

Argh... forget to check the "I'm not a robot" (even though I am logged in!) and I get to type this again.

I need to get access to the current setting of Display Settings (e.g. font size, e..g 100%) in Windows. I am having a problem charts in my reports having the wrong fonts, and think I finally can fix it.

What is the Windows API for accessing the Display Settings valeu in Windows?

Also, where are the old forums? I miss them--a lot.

Argh, this web page updated right in the middle of my post (2nd try on this post).

I tried using 10.2.3 for debugging a 64 bit app and found it buggy. Specifically, I was trying to evaluate a variable and the IDE reported a value I didn't think it could possibly be. When I sent it to CodeSite, the value was what I expected.

Was this an anomoly or are others seeing this as well? Is debugging in Win64 solid?

Aside, it has been a few years since I posted in the forums and I sure miss the old format (something I used since way back in the CompuServe days--anyone remember that?). Is it really gone? I much preferred the community format.

Thank you,

I'm am mainly using Seattle, but I tested 10.2.3 for debugging a 64 bit application and found that the IDE made some mistakes. (For example, the value of a variable seemed way off so I added a CodeSite message just before the break and CodeSite gave me the value I anticipated and the IDE continued to be wrong).

Are there known issues with debugging 64 bit applications in the IDE?
--
Aside, what happened to the old forums that have been around forever? Are they really gone?

Thank you,
