December 19, Delphi and Vista With the release of the Business versions of Vista, there has been quite some activity in the Delphi community to figure out how to best support the new version of the OS. Delphi and Vista Well, it looks like that bad written applications stop working. It was really time. But it's scary to read "IB was released before Vista".

Right, but Vista was coming, betas were available and it was not an obscure OS no one would care of. Noone at CodeGear thought to perform some tests? If IBConsole does not work it's not a problem - it never worked really Comment by Kent Morwath on December 20, Delphi and Vista Marco, the link to Haglung's blog entry is broken.

If you want to use these new fonts you will need to go through all your dialogs and make sure the larger text still fits okay in your dialog, and making more room available where necessary.

You will probably need to set "ParentFont" to true for all your forms and labels. In DelphiVistaTools you will find the unit "uVista". There is a function there to tell us whether the program is running on Windows Vista, IsWindowsVista. To use Vista fonts in your application, put uVista in your "uses" statement, then call SetVistaFonts Self in the OnCreate procedure of every form in which you want to use the Vista fonts.

Vista uses a different default font for things like memos. It uses Calibri 10pt by default. So you can call SetVistaContentFonts memo1. Use XPTheme so as to include a manifest file which will enable your application to use updated user interface controls glass-type buttons, etc. If you are using a recent version of Delphi, you may have TXPManifest, and you can use that instead, since it does the same job.

Allowing the application to minimize with an animation Delphi applications compiled on older compilers have an invisible "application form" which is hidden from the Vista user interface. So when you minimize your application in Vista it will simply disappear rather than visibly shrinking to the Taskbar with an animation like other applications in Vista do.

Also, when you hover your cursor over its icon in the taskbar you only see the program's icon in the thumbnail which appears, and not an image thumbnail of its main window. We need Vista to recognize our mainform as the application window. You can achieve this by taking the following steps:. On Application. OnMinimize we execute this procedure so that if our application is minimized from a shortcut, the correct form will get minimized.

Handle, M. Msg, M. WParam, M. LParam ; ShowWindow Application.
