My Commercial videos are either 1366x768 or 1280x720 - so they are fairly high quality (available from LearnDelphi.tv). They are H264 video and AAC audio - so they should play in QuickTime, Windows Media or VLC (and others). Many of the YouTube videos are also available in HD - make sure you specify this quality if you want to watch full screen.

I believe Castalia has some refactoring tools, and it works with older versions of Delphi also.

are there not maybe 3rd party add ins that can do it better? it is incredibly handy especially for old code that is being inherited

Christie i have a question to ask you if you could and know the anwser that would be AMAZING! My question is the following i have a listbox in delphi and a number of string when highlighting one i want to have a button lets call it Down to move the highlight down NOT the string is that possible????

For example:
FirstLine { (This is highlighted) } Then i press the button and
SecondLine {(this becomes the highlighted NOT FirstLine)}
ThirdLine

Is this possible if so do you know the code

I find the refactoring in Delphi a bit broken - particularly Rename, although it's much better than no refactoring support at all.

[DonovanBoddy]

i can understand that it causes a problem if you just manually change the Method name but its a bit disappointing that the Refactoring does not do it the correct way, it makes me feel a bit uneasy about using form inheritance, EMBT need to sort these things out
