    Bug in Delphi CODE INSIGHT?

    That would be like Christmas, Easter and birthday together.

    Add a system-menu item to all applications?

    Until now I achieved what I wanted to achieve by intercepting the right-button-mouse-click on the title-bar of any application window. But now I have a system program which also does exactly that, so it overrides my action.
  3. Thank's for the clarification. I sometimes feel the smell of Atari in the Delphi IDE, or am I wrong?
  4. Very good idea! Is it possible to export/import all Tools entries at once or only one by one?
  5. I am using the CnWizards version of "Intellisense" (code-completion) as it has several advantages with respect to the native Delphi code-completion (see the screenshot). However, both code-completion popups lack the ability to show whether a selected property is published or public: Or is there a distinction which I do not see?

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    And please note that the SUBJECT of this conversation is "...code-completion popup..."

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    Come on, we don't live at Atari times anymore.

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    I often write in uppercase without having the intention to shout.

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    Nobody is shouting. We talk about source code documentation here.

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    However, the CnWizards Code Input Helper seems to have options to show source code documentation: But I don't see any source code documentation in the CnWizards Code Input Helper, although there IS documentation in the source code where I am testing this.

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    Where did you get this? Marco Cantù answered at the Quality Portal: "RAD Studio IDE offers Help Insight, which can grab XMLDoc documentation from the source and displays is alongside in a very similar way. The limitation is we don't have large coverage in terms of XMLDoc." Stefan, maybe you confuse something here. We are talking about SOURCE CODE DOCUMENTATION.

    Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

    Also, look at how other IDEs show the documentation in the code completion popup: Why the Delphi code completion popup does not show the documentation in the code completion popup? Is there a Delphi IDE add-in which displays the documentation in the code completion popup like in the above screenshot?

    What's the state of JCL/JVCL?

    Embarcadero should hire them and pay them a decent salary! Embarcadero should also hire a few dozens of first-class Delphi developers and maintain the major open source Delphi libraries! What is Embarcadero doing with the many billions of $$$ they get from Delphi licenses?
  14. I have added this feature request in GExperts: https://sourceforge.net/p/gexperts/feature-requests/65/ This OPTION would add a lot of useful flexibility to directory Search in Grep Search: If Grep Search finds a shortcut link (*.lnk) of a directory in the search directory (e.g. pointing to D:\MyProject) then Grep Search additionally searches in directory: D:\MyProject If Grep Search finds a shortcut link of a file in the search directory (e.g. pointing to F:\MyRoutines.pas) then Grep Search additionally searches in the file: F:\MyRoutines.pas This would allow me to create a directory full of shortcut links pointing to preferred source code directories and favorite source code files to concentrate the grep search on specific content. This would be very useful! What do you people think?

    Directory Search in Grep Search: Follow Shortcut links

    Who would be so stupid to create recursive hardlinks? (I am not sure whether Windows allows to create recursive hardlinks at all?) And What does this have necessarily to do with Grep Search?
  16. PeterPanettone

    Directory Search in Grep Search: Follow Shortcut links

    It would be very easy to detect recursive links and (implicitly) visited files/links/dirs... Another approach would be using hardlinks. Would work with current search.
  17. Currently, ToDo items in the Code Editor have the same syntax color as comments: If ToDo items had a separate syntax color, they would be better visible. This would be very useful! What do you people think? Could this possibly be done by an IDE expert/add-in?
  18. PeterPanettone

    ToDo items should have a separate syntax color in the editor

    I didn't say that you said it does it. But the hint to the source code is useful.

    ToDo items should have a separate syntax color in the editor

    Thanks, CnWizards has a pretty good syntax colorizer, but there doesn't seem possible to colorize just Todo items:
  20. PeterPanettone

    ToDo items should have a separate syntax color in the editor

    Sorry, but I asked for opinions about my question. I thank you for your writing effort, but you didn't consider my question. That's the same fun as when someone asks a SPECIFIC question and another user answers: "For what do you need this?" Or when user A asks for opinions about the new Mercedes CLA model. Then user B answers: "For what do you need a Mercedes? I either take the bus or I go on my bicycle!"

    ToDo items should have a separate syntax color in the editor

    I wrote VISIBLE IN THE SOURCE CODE EDITOR! Is this so difficult to understand? Sorry.

    Tool Palette Item properties?

    Delphi 10.3.1 RIO: The so-called ToolPalette IMO has a very annoying User Interface: 1. In the Tool Palette list, for a selected Tool Palette component item, how can I find out: The package name, the unit name (if source existing), platform compatibility, etc. etc. 2. Why the "Tool Palette" is not named "Component Palette"? (Which IMO would be more appropriate). 3. In the "Tool Palette" list, is there a filter mode where "file name" (note the space between "file" and "name") would find BOTH "TFileNameEdit" and "My File Name Edit"?
  23. PeterPanettone

    Tool Palette Item properties?

    1. Showing this in a hint which is visible only for a short time (1-2 seconds) is (as I said) a very poor and annoying user interface! (Makes me think of a video game for retarded people). 2. Showing the component palette list in a dual-use list is a leftover from the Delphi stone-age when computer monitors had the size of a postage stamp and therefore dual-use controls were widespread. Today such dual-use lists are a sign of a poor user-interface. 3. Obviously, Nr. 3 was a rhetorical question, as this SMARTER filter-mode currently does not exist in the component-palette list which is also a sign of a poor user interface.
  24. Does anybody know an IDE Code expert for automatically fixing very simple and obvious non-ambiguous syntax errors, for example: Transform this: Into this:

    Delphi for HUAWEI OS?

    If HUAWEI is going to (forced to) replace Microsoft Windows OS and Apple OS on their devices with HUAWEI OS then I want Delphi for HUAWEI OS!
