* remove ParentFont flag from forms again (introduced in 9cdcd631454f6f9e999893ea89fcf502d994474c for #213). This just inherits from default Windows settings.
* instead, scale font size in InheritFont(), and move that to the new TExtForm class
* mark app with PerMonitorV2 support
* Don't try to access a passed tree if it has been destroyed by some earlier event.
* Don't try to access registry in DoDisconnect after key has been closed.
* Now that DoDisconnect lives in FormDestroy it is save to call it slightly earlier, before registry has been closed. There should be no later paint events which will trigger random database queries.
* Load in OnBeforePaint, if the tree's tag is set to NOTLOADED
* Load 1,000 rows in one step, up to a maximum of 100,000 rows. Both values are customizable.
* Load next chunk when user presses PageDown on the last node, or, more explicitly, when user clicks "Next rows" button
* Should fix all AVs which seem to be a timing issue with loading data on demand.
* Fixes issue #1675, fixes issue #1580, fixes issue #1721, fixes issue #1734, fixes issue #972
* Removes TNT Unicode controls, which are no longer required. All VCL controls now have native Unicode support.
* Remove Delphi 11 packages, otherwise we would either need to keep TNT or break Unicode
* PngComponents update from Uwe Raabe on http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/26127
* Adjust auto build process
* Since Delphi 2009, Strings are now UnicodeStrings, not AnsiStrings any longer. Fix a bunch of compiler errors which came along with this change.
TODO: Project should compile but give tons of compiler warnings.
* Keep only one TRegistry object in memory instead of creating a new one in each routine.
* Move out relevant functions and TRegistry object from main to helpers to make them usable globally.
Affected issues: rfe #618, rfe #464, bug #324, bug #635 (maybe more)
Breaks: Unicode grid editing (due to yet unsolved bug #620), enum pulldowns, MEMO editing
Major changes:
- editor tab at bottom completely removed, SQL log is always visible now.
- memo, blob and enum editors don't have a replacement yet. This is left for later commits.
- grid cells are colorized to signalize their datatypes
- UPDATEs, DELETEs and INSERTs are composed by own code, no longer by Zeos internal mechanisms. Should make debugging easier.
- UPDATEs + DELETEs on tables without unique key are blocked now.
- editing in the query grid is always blocked. Would need some extensive parser to allow that.
- Consequently use Mainform.GetRegValue() to read these values, an overloaded method with either Boolean, String or Integer result. These methods keep a global TRegistry object (regMain) open while the application runs, rather than creating a new one for each caller.
- Remove Mainform.SaveRegValue() which was used in one or two callers. Rather use a TRegistry object and do that by hand. There's no significant advantage in using a SaveRegValue method currently.
- Implement an alternative solution for handling sorted columns without usage of SMDBGrid's sortcolumns. Move relevant structures and functions from data_sorting.pas to childwin.pas and use them in both units.
- Upgrade some code parts to use WideStrings instead of Strings so they don't break with the new grid.
- Use Grid.OnDrawDataCell as an alternative to Grid.OnGetCellParams as the latter one is a feature of SMDBGrid
- Cosmetic: enhance screen real estate in viewdata()
