Delphi: create or append to a TFileStream

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/23

It looks like the Delphi [WayBack] TFileStream.Create does not have an overload that allows you to create or append. Luckily, [Archive.is] TFile.Open allows you to do this when passing the correct [Archive.is] TFileMode enumeration value:

TempStream := TFile.Open(TempPath, TFileMode.fmOpenOrCreate, TFileAccess.faReadWrite, TFileShare.fsRead);

I still wonder why that never made it into a TFileStream.Create overload, or why these overloads fail to use enumerations or sets of modes.

Is there a reason why third party component vendors still ship dfm in binary files …

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/23

I knew it was backward compatibility, but TeeChart author David Berneda knew exactly what version:

One old issue with the XE5 osx compiler, some forms in text format raised a “Bad file format” exception, fix was leave them binary
