Let me just say that I consider reading and understanding the API we've all grown to know and love or hate depending upon your temperament, is a breeze compared to understanding the FCL! There must be literally thousands of classes hidden in there! And for me at least learning the syntax is like trying to understand the Pa. Dutchified English where everything is said backwards!
from Robert Meek dba Tangentals Design CCopyright 2006 Proud to be a moderator of "The Delphi Lists" at elists.org (["An unused program is the consequence of a higher logic!", nil]) As written in The Compendium of Accepted Robotic and Surrlogic Theorems Used in the Self Analysis of Elemental Positronic Pathways...1st Edition Revised -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Irwin Scollar Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 11:53 AM To: Delphi-Talk Discussion List Subject: RE: We should all be thankful! As perhaps the only native born New Yorker lurking on this list, I might say that when I left that dreadful place on a 9 month grant to study in Europe in 1954 at age 26, I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't choose to be born there, but it wasn't my parent's fault either since they were taken there as small children around the turn of the last century. I'm still here in Europe 52 years later and avoid New York like the plague. I even try not to change planes there when flying to the States if possible. There are many equally dangerous places elsewhere in the world, and perhaps some of them are even equally unpleasant. As for Delphi, which of course is the subject of this list :-), I'm thankful for the continuation of the VCL even in D10 and wish it the longest possible life. .NET is fine for those who don't want to bother to understand the Windows API's or are too lazy to read the enormous MSDN documentation, possibly the only thing that Microsoft does fairly well. Or have any of you ever used the C++ IDE of Visual Studio like I have been forced to do at times?
