Oddly enough code completion stopped working for me on a large project in Delphi 10.2 while it works fine in Delphi 2007 and Delphi 12.2 and now 12.3. So it depends on the project in question.

I was just looking at the source code of the plugin and could not figure out where and how it preserves the bookmarks and breakpoints. Could you please give me a hint?

You can continue using the 32 bit IDE to compile and debug 64 bit applications.

Edit: Fixed the problem with the full screen window in revision #4468.

So would I. If it should be user readable (why?) they could have used the enum name rather than an integer to store the setting.

The registry entry for storing the "Monitor Layout" setting in Delphi 12 contains the string "Allow changing screen on any layout change". WTF? Does that really mean this setting is language dependent?

Then building your own DLL is your only option for now. I might maybe build an alpha installer for 12.3 this weekend, but don't hold your breath.

Have you tried the existing version for Delphi 12? It should work, as this is a minor release of the IDE, but I haven't tested it. Alternatively you can build your own DLL. If you are asking for a 64-bit version of GExperts: That's not going to happen any time soon, if at all.

They don't call it "Version 1", they call it "Preview"^D^D^D^D^D^D ... no, they don't that was apparently during the beta phase. Now it's "64-bit initial release" which sounds more like it should be usable. Since I haven't used it at all so far, I can't comment on whether it is.

I have a similar problem with the GExperts hotkeys. There is a bug report on SourceForge that also suggests a cause and fix for this. Unfortunately I was unable to get it to work.

And Visual Basic is one place before Delphi again ...

Does anybody know how to prevent the ExplicitTop/Left/Width/Height properties from being written to the DFM file? I never saw any use for them and always installed Andreas Hausladen's DDevExtensions which allows to remove them. But since Andy apparently doesn't have access to the latest Delphi version there is no DDevExtensions (and also no IDE Fix Pack) for Delphi 10.4(.1) and I would like to add that functionality to GExperts. I tried, but so far failed. Any hints?

I think we should stop feeding the troll.

The 70% problem: Hard truths about AI-assisted coding

Interesting idea. I might just try that. "format the following code according to the coding style used in this other unit"

Because being open source means that everyone can go ahead and modify it to their liking, right? Of course. Nothing prevents anybody from doing that, as long as the license conditions are observed. And even the most restrictive open source licenses that I know, allow private use of the code without restrictions. The project maintainer might not like those changes, but you can always have your very own personal fork of the code. (The particular project maintainer you are probably thinking about would of course prefer getting a patch that adds this as a configurable option and does not break the code and its compatibility to older Delphi versions..)

You could use TBitBtn instead, if that's an option.

If only there was a code formatter written in Delphi that is open source!

Hey, we have AI nowadays to solve that problem: Just tell it to convert the rust code to Object Pascal and be done. And if the first one does not succeed, try others.

Have you seen the IDE using a phone booth recently?

Am I right in assuming that the plugin calls the executable to do the formatting? Calling an executable is rather expensive (meaning: slow) in Windows, it would be really nice it you could also produce a DLL, that can be called from this plugin (and possibly other tools). 32 and 64 bits, if possible.

Isn't that an editor option? Cursor beyond EOL? Edit: No. There is no "Cursor beyond EOL". There is only "Cursor beyond EOF", which is different.

One nice feature of the Delphi IDE that I keep forgetting are Component Templates. That means you drop and customize one or multiple components on a form and then give them a new name so you can easily create them again on a different form in a different program. https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2018/11/03/creating-component-templates-in-delphi/

fixed in revision #4433

Hm I don't see any scaling issue with this dialog. It looks fine with 125% scaling and rescales properly when I move it between displays with 125% and 100% scaling. I guess that's another case where it works fine with my setup but does not with other people's. Let me guess: You have one or more displays with a scaling > 100% but all displays set to the same. Edit: Yes, if I only use my HighDPI display, I can reproduce it.
