DBGrid to the Max
Contrary to most other Delphi data-aware controls, the DBGrid component has many nice features and is more powerful than you would have thought. The "standard" DBGrid does its job of displaying and manipulating records from a dataset in a tabular grid. However, there are many ways (and reasons) why you should consider customizing the output of a DBGrid...

Virtual Key Code To Character
Windows defines special constants for each key the user can press. The virtual-key codes identify various virtual keys. In Delphi, the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events provide the lowest level of keyboard response. To use OnKeyDown or OnKeyUp to test for keys the user presses, you must use Virtual key codes to get the key pressed. Here's how to translate the virtual key code to the corresponding Windows character.

UDP vs. TCP
Everybody is quite familiar with TCP. Most do know UDP and think it’s an inferior protocol, as it does not ensure that the data bytes sent will arrive at the other site. Thus, UDP imposes less network overhead than TCP and gives the programmer more freedom and more labor by forcing him to deal with the security of the data transport himself.

How to Move and Resize Controls at Run Time (in Delphi applications)
While in most situations you will arrange all the controls on a Delphi form in a 'fixed' position, there are situations where you need to allow a user to change the placement and dimension of controls at run-time. Here's how to enable dragging and resizing controls with mouse, while the application is running.

Controlling the number of application instances (Page 2/4)
Controlling the number of application instances. In this article you'll learn how to 'run-once enable' a Delphi application that can check for its previous (running) instance. Along the process, several techniques of implementing such a check will be discussed; as well as how to bring your already running application to the foreground, if a user tries to run it 'one more time'. By the end of the article you'll have a copy-to-go code to control the behavior of your application's multiple instances: with the option to limit the number of running instances.
