Mirkes HexEditor (TMPHexEditor) now compatible with Dephi XE!
8 Oct 2010 | 2 Comments | posted by CCRDude | in Delphi Code Revival, Delphi XE, open source
As promised in an earlier blog post, I updated Mirkes TMPHexEditor component to be compatible with Delphi XE (and thus also Delphi 2009 I hope).
I also finally uploaded the source code to LaunchPad, the open source platform I use, so now my previous updates to the code, including for example OwnerData as well as section hightlighting. The printer dialogs from examples have also been added into reusable units, and the prefix changes from MP to dcr, since I plan to add more legacy forsaken code into this package.

Announcing Delphi Code Revival
10 Feb 2010 | No Comments | posted by CCRDude | in Delphi Code Revival, Delphi XE, open source
In the last years of coding Delphi, I came across a few really nice components which might not have been really finished, but which were promising and useful. I added some bugfixes, maybe even features. Today, some of these components are no longer maintained by their original authors. To avoid them getting lost, I decided to get permission to continue them; or better, host them on a public version control system to make sure they do not get lost, and patches to them might be easier available to those still interested.
The first component I will add is a great hex viewer from mirkes.de, which I have been extending with the option to use virtual content (OwnerData = true instead of a full stream loading into the view), and the ability to highlight certain areas. The original author was kind enough to give me permission to do this to keep it alive. Except it to be filed at LaunchPad within the next one or two weeks…
