ModelMaker Code Explorer does not allow you to edit the “most recently used” items in that you can use in various places, but luckily these history lists are all in the registry as keys under this base key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ModelMaker\MideX\#.0\Histories
There # is the major version number of ModelMaker Code Explorer (internally named MideX).
Under the base key, you can find these keys:
ExternalSpac not figured out yetInterfaceSupport not figured out yetObject PascalParameters list limited to 60 individual parameters (“Modifier Name: Type = Default”)Parameters list limited to 60 parameter lists in the “Edit Method” wizard.PascalTypeNames list limited to 60 variable typesPascalVarLookup list limited to 60 variables (each of form “Variable: Type”) used in the “Add Explaining Variable” wizard.PropArray array indexes used in the property editorPropDefaultSpec default values of properties in the property editorPropWriteParam write parameters in the property editorRenameLocal not figured out yetResStrExternalFile not figured out yetSurrounds not figured out yetUsedUnits list limited to 30 entries of the uses list editorIf you made a typo anywhere, then just edit or delete these entries.

Directives are commands to the compiler such as
{$D+}or{$WARN xxxx OFF}. Compiler defined conditionals are not “directives”, rather they’re used for conditional directives{$IF Defined(xxxx)}or{$IFDEF xxxx}, where xxxx can beNEXTGEN– Allen Bauer
It’s important to describe features right so everyone understands what you mean.
And note that you should end all your IFDEF with IFEND to stay compatible with the broadest set of Delphi versions possible.
–jeroen
Source: [WayBack] delphi – What is the use of NEXTGEN compiler conditional? – Stack Overflow
PS: Note the comment below by Remy Lebeau:
Note, in Delphi XE3 and later, you might also need to use
{$LEGACYIFEND ON}(http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Legacy_IFEND_(Delphi)) in order to use{$IFEND}correctly, particularly if you have nested{$IF}and{$IF(N)DEF}blocks in your code.
A quick search for “LEGACYIFEND” “Delphi” “XE3” revealed this directive was indeed introduced in Delphi XE3, but not documented until XE4:
--legacy-ifend command-line switchBrian Long documents how to get around the limitation that Remy commented about:
{$ifdef CONDITIONALEXPRESSIONS}
{$if CompilerVersion >= 24.0}
{$LEGACYIFEND ON}
{$ifend}
{$endif}
It is in fact at the top of [WayBack] indy/IdCompilerDefines.inc at master · graemeg/indy · GitHub, which reminds me that there is now a git mirror of Indy at GitHub:
[WayBack] GitHub – graemeg/indy: Indy (Internet Direct) framework. This is an unofficial mirror repository which gets synced every 15 minutes. It contains the full history from the official Indy 10 SVN repository.

Mikrotik has great hardware, great firmware (if you have the right builds), but notoriously bad documentation and a not so great software release and testing process.
So I might consider switching away, so here are some threats that might lead to alternatives:
[WayBack] Router board based on MediaTek MT7620A MIPS processor with 4 LAN port, one PoE capable WAN port, and two mini PCIe slot for 4G LTE module. – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+–jeroen

I use ubnt edgerouters, great bang for buck. My ER Pro-8 has been up for 8 months (no reboots) and hasn’t missed a beat, rock solid ipsec vpn. I looked at microtik, but found the edgerouters slightly easier to configure.

Problem:
6 unlabeled buttons: I can not force the input to display port and monitor is searching other ports when host is sleeping. Getting no output when I wake up the host. 😞
Btw, this is for an Acer B326HK monitor. Other than issues with the UI, seems like a decent 4k monitor.
Solution:
my mistake was to use Display Port (Choice was DP or DVI) and the workaround is to disable power state changes on Display Port with something like “
xset -dpms“

Delphi formatter setting, so I can manually arrange uses lists:
–jeroen
Also available in MMX Code Explorer in the settings dialog: Pascal -Sorting – Format unit uses clauses – “Each unit on a new line”.
If you prefer the standard setting and spare the other for special purpose, there is “Format Uses – Alternate” in the context menu. Perhaps give it a decent shortcut for quick access.
Bernd Ott in the same thread:
Important because scm. Less merge trouble. Only the last semicolon in last row is always stupid.

I forgot to schedule the post below. It is still relevant if you create a machine with lots of Delphi versions on it.

If you get the below error, then your RDP target server needs to be patched.
You can choose to stay vulnerable and modify your policy or registry settings as explained in the first linked article below: that is a temporary “workaround” which I do not recommend. Please update your RDP target servers in stead.

[Window Title] Remote Desktop Connection [Content] An authentication error has occurred. The function requested is not supported Remote computer: rdp.example.org This could be due to CredSSP-encryption Oracle remediation. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660 [OK]

Some historic perspective (although on Windows since quite a long time, you can rename files before replacing them: that works very well):
[WayBack] Wer kann mir erklären: Warum braucht ein Windows10-Update heute immer noch mehrere Reboots? – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
Zu MS-DOS Zeiten gab es kein Netz und kein Multiprocessing. Als Netz und Fileshares dann dazu kamen, funktionierten viele Anwendungen nicht korrekt.
Zu dieser Zeit hat Microsoft die Entscheidung getroffen, vom Betriebssystem aus Mandatory File Locking für geöffnete Dateien zu implementieren, es sei denn, ein Prozeß stellt das von sich aus anders ein.
Mandatory File Locking heißt in diesem Fall, daß nix und niemand eine Datei anfassen kann, die offen ist, Ein laufendes Executeable, eine DLL oder ein Logfile sind aber immer offen.
Daher gibt es einen Reboot Hook, mit dem ein Updater Dateiersetzungen für einen System Neustart hinterlegen kann. Beim Reboot werden die Dateien dann schnell ausgetauscht bevor sie geöffnet werden.
