It's about time this code base was moved to an up to date compiler.

Probably safer to stick to a 32 bit only Windows target to begin with.

Original issue title was "Convert to compile with Delphi 11". Now updated to Delphi 12 since 12 replaced 11 on my dev box.

Because there seems to be a difficulty with VCL forms updating from Delphi XE to Delphi 12, the whole UI needs to be recreated.

Such changes make this a time consuming process. It may not be able to be completed for a while yet.

Experimental code note

I have some test code for this in the Git stash on my main dev box.

There's also a feature branch for this issue on my dev box.

Programs compiled with Delphi 12 require Windows 7 SP1 or later, so won't run on Windows Vista.

Therefore, as part of the conversion process, consider removing the Vista entry from the application manifest file.
