smart_init | simple gem for eliminating Ruby initializers | REST library

Prologue

I finally got around HW incompatibility between AT32UC3xxxxx and SSD1306 OLED I2C display (both have HW bugs making them incompatible) allowing me to use HW I2C at 400KBaud (~26.6ms per frame). So I decided to rewrite my old driver for this LCD to make advantage of the new speed by adding also filled surfaces (triangles,quads) instead of just lines and patterned lines (which I already implemented).

The problem is the display is 128x64 pixels but no colors or shades of gray just BW on/off

So in order to for example render rotating cube I need to distinguish the surfaces somehow. I was thinking about randomized filling pattern where surface is filled to some percentage instead of color.

Here my current code (Whole lib but without bugs its working as should):

LCD_SSD1306_I2C.h

The Tab functionality to switch between control fields seems to be not working with C++ Builder 10.4 (with patch 1, 2 and 3), if a form control which contains some taborder fields, gets another parent form control programmaticly.

This can be reproduced very easily by creating a Multi-Device Application, with just 2 TLayout-controls and 2 TEdit-controls on a form:

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a new Multi-Device Application, Blank Application. This will create a Unit1 with a blank form.
• For the generated Unit1, just drop a TLayout from the Palette to the form and resize this to match almost the left half of the form.
• Drop a second TLayout control on the form (Layout2) and resize this layout to match the right half of the form.
• Drop 2 TEdit control fields on Layout1 (Edit1 and Edit2).
• For Layout1, set the TabOrder property to 0, and make sure the property TabStop is set to True.
• For Layout2, set the TabOrder property to 1, and make sure the property TabStop is set to True.
• For Edit1, set the TabOrder property to 0, make sure the property TabStop is set to True, and set text to "edit1".
• For Edit2, set the TabOrder property to 1, make sure the property TabStop is set to True, and set text to "edit2".
• Build and run the project: The form with 2 edit fields appears and with Tab you can switch between the fields. This is OK! If the value of the Layout1 property TabOrder is kept to be -1, the Tab is also working, but only after selecting 1 of the edit fields with a mouse-click.
• Now, in the constructor of TForm1 program Layout2 as the parent of Layout1:

I have an application with several Forms. Two of them are quite similar, they have features in the form of VCL objects (labels, images, etc...) in common, which I named the same. I want to have a function in a specific class which can accept one of these two Form as a parameter in order to modify the parameters that they have in common. The solution I came around does not seem to work.

As my application is quite big and complicated, I replicated the problem using a small example. First, below is an example of my MainForm :

And an example of one subForm (they are all arranged in a similar way)

I have an additionnal class which is used to fill in the Edits on the subForms. The code for this class is the following:

I created a TThread using the File > New > Other > Thread Object menu. It gave me some boilerplate code, like this:

I hope that you can help me to resolve this compilation error.

I'm trying to test code taken from Embarcadero's official documentation website, which has at aim to test the TIniFile class.

However I get this error:
