Delphi is wonderful for small projects. But if you have a middle-size or large project, the mentioned drawbacks (e.g. the linkage of the structure panel content to the current type of editor) are annoying and time-consuming.

Actually I work with Delphi 3. I am glad you helped me to understand.

And which style exactly did you add? I am still waiting for the screenshots.

Where exactly did you add "STYLE"?

Could you please show me a screenshot of that "bluish color but so faint that it is almost not there".

Very impressive!

I do not think you are a novice.

Can you please show a screenshot while you hover the mouse pointer over a menu-item (and move the mouse a little bit), does that menu-item get highlighted? Thank you!

Thanks for the information. When you hover the mouse pointer over a menu-item (and move the mouse a little bit), does that menu-item get highlighted? Can you please show a screenshot?

What do you want it to do? Making coffee?

The MMX Find next/previous occurrence feature is VERY USEFUL! However, it should be possible to ENLARGE THE WIDTH of the dialog with the mouse: In this screenshot, you can see that you have to manually augment the Source column to see the searched identifier in the displayed source code line. Of course, the enlarged width should automatically be remembered between sessions. It would also be useful if the searched identifier would be somehow (e.g. with different font color) marked inside the displayed source code line.

Here is a SO question about this matter, where one answer says to use ZeroMemory and the other answer says to use Default: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5509394/how-can-i-quickly-clear-a-record-of-simple-types What is the PRO and CONTRA of the two alternatives?

Thanks. Can you please show a short code example in the context of the above project?

OK, I have optimized it, and now it works perfectly as I want it: A nice STICKY POPUP MENU! Here is the source code: StickyPopupMenuSimulation_3.zip

Remy, with your hints, it is now partially working: procedure TPopupListEx.WndProc(var Message: TMessage); var mii: MENUITEMINFO; begin inherited; if (Message.Msg = WM_ENTERMENULOOP) and (Message.WParam = 1) then begin // customize pmTest items as needed... ZeroMemory(@mii, sizeof(mii)); mii.cbSize := sizeof(mii); mii.fMask := MIIM_STATE; mii.fState := MFS_HILITE; Winapi.Windows.SetMenuItemInfoW(Form1.pmTest.Handle, 1, True, mii); end; end; Now, when I show the popup menu the first time, the menu item with index 1 is highlighted: But then, when I hover the mouse over the first menu item, BOTH menu-items are highlighted: Instead, the second menu-item should become un-highlighted when the first menu-item becomes highlighted. Why this is not the case? Only when I hover the mouse over the second menu-item and then back to the first menu item, the second menu-item becomes un-highlighted: So I repost here the changed source-code, so everybody can see how the code looks in detail: StickyPopupMenuSimulation_2.zip
