@Uwe Raabe The only thing that I dislike is that the Formater options are all over. when you triggered DelForExp it opens a form asking what you want to do much simpler and more user friendly. Or am I old fashion? P.S I also have it as a stand-alone

@dummzeuch Kind of off-topic What I liked very much with DelForExp that you could format the whole project.

I just did something similar for my project 1.put TRxWindowHook 2. associate with your control . in my case it was a memo. catch Cnt C put this KeyCount boolean procedure TForm2.RxWindowHook1BeforeMessage(Sender: TObject; var Msg: TMessage; var Handled: Boolean); begin if msg.msg = WM_KEYDOWN then begin if (msg.wparam = 17) then KeyCount := true else if (msg.wparam = 67) and (KeyCount = true) then begin KeyCount := false; DoNotCopy := True; << i needed that on cont C end else KeyCount := false; end; end;

@Daniel Thanks

@Daniel Thanks

One more thing. I tried Gexpert demo project docking form example It has the same problem Is it an IDE problem or am I missing something?

@Daniel I hope this is better This is an IDE expert problem

I do not know if it will help But Rxlib has has RxDateUtil.pas check it

IsFirstInstance in OgFirst in tponguard librery for free does what you need. the above is old. The new onguard dose it differently but you can find here too Look for first instance https://documentation.help/TurboPack-OnGuard-FMX/documentation.pdf Put this function in the DPR

Further to my small project and on D10.2.3 I am NOT using tool Pallet I am using ToolBar>Component as on d7. I want to detect the tabs and open one of them I am using also Winspector. FDelphiForm :=Application.MainForm; x:=TComponent(FDelphiForm.FindComponent('ComponentToolbarFrame')); x:=TComponent(x.FindComponent('TabControl'));<<< hear i tried also TTabControl instead of TComponent x IS NOT NIL. TTabControl(x).TabIndex:=3; <<<<< dose not work label1.caption:= TTabControl(x).Tabs[0] ; <<< Access violation Label2.Caption:=TComponent(x).name; ===TabControl Any thing with tabs give an error. I have tried many variations. As far as I recall @dummzeuch comented that multiline is not possible above D7 I tried it does not work. Maybe it is not possible to access the ToolBar ?

Found one drawback sx := TStringList(GetObjectProp(x, PropInfo)); // all the tabs this instruction cannot be made ONShow only On form create. It makes on second-time error. It has to execute only once. Which mean installing a new component will not update unless I restart Delphi.

Ok my software is OK Now for Embarcadero to give some Answers. I have 2 components bar. 1. D7 like. 2. Tool pallet. They differ in what the show position wise!!!!! For example, the Tool bar does not have BDE or ActivX in the same position !!!! What is going on?

@dummzeuch without your lead I could not have done it I was thrown away by thinking that it was TabControl Thanks Checking that it works got the list of my tabs sx=tstringlist PropInfo:= GetPropInfo(x.ClassInfo, 'Items'); sx:= TStringList(GetObjectProp(x,PropInfo)); Label2.Caption:=inttostr(Sx.Count); Memo1.Clear; for I := 0 to Sx.Count-1 do Memo1.Lines.Add(sx) ; Great why cannot write bracket i bracket ???????????

http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/delphivclwin32/TypInfo.html Investigating

As of my last request reading an item like integer is no problem like PropInfo:= GetPropInfo(x.ClassInfo, 'LastShownIndex'); i:= GetOrdProp( x,PropInfo); Label2.Caption:=inttostr(i); But items=stringlist how?

@dummzeuch With the help of this link and IDE explorer IIIIII DDDDIDDDD IT. From here I got https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2071247/dynamically-access-a-property-in-a-delphi-component/2071398 var PropInfo: PPropInfo; x:=TComponent(x.FindComponent('TabControl')); PropInfo:= GetPropInfo(x.ClassInfo, 'TabIndex').; SetOrdProp(x, PropInfo, 3); it press tab 4. Thanks every body and see you on my next NOT EASY problem. P.S may some know how to get a list of items from PropInfo:= GetPropInfo(x.ClassInfo, 'Items') into StrinList?

The joke is on me. They did not implement it only the d7. Back to the search

I will look further with your advice that it is TGradientTabSet and not TabControl But if I use IDE explorer (sorry not yours) I see all the properties and I do not see TABS but Items so you might be correct On CnWizard there is something to associate the toolbar search for TGradientTabSet. I will investigate

Yes, I used your GREP already and I still, unfortunately, did not understand how to use it. Any idea? It will not work. For example, it has FTabList :TList; FTabList :TStringList; Is it allowed? Something fishy.

@dummzeuch I will try P.s i saw it before It is not implemented. No idea how to use it.

@dummzeuch Yes ClassName and more. Every thing checked. It is a TTabControl and I even did a hide that hides all the tabs. with IDE Explorer (Not yours) I can see all propeties. ComponentToolbarFrame>TabControl=TTabControl My only problem now is that TABS is not nil but using it give an error.

P.S TTabControl(x).Visible:=false; make all the tabs disapear. So I have control of the tabs but not on TTabControl(x).Tabs

@dummzeuch Thanks I used it. However, I sent you a personal mail with comments and changes to your software for you to add and publish. As for my problem, it seems I cannot reach the component tabs. Although TTabControl(x).Tabs in not nil it cannot be accessed.

I cannot find IDE Explorer. I use 1.3.11.64 experimental quit old I gess.
