TAdvDBDateTimePicker: Using empty date/time fields
(Feb 25, 2013)
TAdvDBDateTimePicker does not support the use of empty date/time fields.
This is a limitation that is actually in the underlying Windows date/timepicker control that is used inside TAdvDBDateTimePicker.
This Windows date/timepicker control doesn't offer the capability for entry of empty values and as such, we can't workaround this on TAdvDBDateTimePicker.
Our own custom control TDBPlannerDatePicker has this capability though as this is created fully in VCL and does not depend on a Windows control. See:

TAdvMemo: How to use bookmarks
(Feb 22, 2013)
You can add a bookmark on a specific line with:
advmemo.Bookmarks[bookmarkindex] := linenumber;
You can retrieve the linenumber for a specific bookmark index with:
advmemo.Bookmarks[bookmarkindex]: integer;
Using :
advmemo.BookmarkIndex[bookmarkindex]: integer
is just for putting an extra number on the book mark icon in the gutter.
Example:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin
// load some file
advmemo1.Lines.LoadFromFile('somefile.txt');
// set first bookmark at line 100
advmemo1.Bookmarks[0] := 100;
// set second bookmark at line 200
advmemo1.Bookmarks[1] := 200;
end;
// code to move to the first bookmark, i.e. jump to line 100; begin
advmemo1.GotoBookmark(0);

TMS IntraWeb Component Pack Pro: When using TIWAdvGridExcelIO to send an XLS file to the browser, my app freezes.
(Feb 7, 2013)
IntraWeb forms have a property called LockOnSubmit. This is to prevent the user from double clicking on a form when a submit is already in progress. However, it is incompatible with some functions such as SendFile and SendStream. If you are performing any of these, make sure this property is set to False in the form where they are used.

(Jan 3, 2013)
Please make sure Indy 10 is installed with Delphi 2007 and then retry to install. TWebGMaps internally uses some Indy functions and therefore needs Indy 10.

TDBPlanner: MultiDay Events in TPlanner and TDBPlanner
(Dec 6, 2012)
Multiday items will (by design - like in Outlook) be displayed in the header for each day where the event occurs.
You can do this by setting the property PlannerItem.InHeader :=true.
This means that for a non databound planner, you should add an inheader item for each day where the event occurs.
In the TPlanner this can’t happen automatically as there is no imposed fixed relationship
between positions (columns) and days or resources you use.
Please make sure to increase Planner.header.Height so items can be shown there.
For the DB-aware TDBPlanner, this is handled automatically.
TDBPlanner will display the items that span multiple days in the header for each day where the item occurs.
It will display this as an item in the header on each day. It can indicate in the caption (when you set PlannerItem.CaptionType = ctTime)
the start/end time of the item.
