IDE three button macro control problem...

[Mark- 29]

Hello,

 

Delphi Delphi 10.2 Version 25.0.31059.3231

 

I have never used the IDE macro feature. Recently the three button controls appeared in the lower left of all code editor windows. The controls may have been in the window, not causing an issue. The controls are blocking the line and column values for the caret position. Any idea how to fix or hide the controls.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Confused I am.

 

Now I have one IDE code window with the macro controls visible and one without the controls visible.

It's supposed to look like this:

 

 

So the buttons should be on the left and not overlap the status bar.

 

But the way it is designed seems a bit odd:

There is a TEditorStatusControlForm containing all the controls and associated actions for this. This descends from TForm, so it isn't actually meant to be embedded. And apparently it isn't, because all the buttons heve been re-parented to the a TToolbar which over several intermediate panels are on a TEditWindow.

 

 

Of course this doesn't really help you, sorry. I was just curious and looked at it.

Thanks. That placement was what I recalled.

Started the IDE this morning and the macro buttons are not present. Switched from dark to light theme and back to dark, result:

 

 

Go figure.

Can you try with Light as the initial theme?

Yes, the buttons show up as normal. Something to do with the theme and IDE foremost application

I just started with dark and the buttons are not visible. Switch to light, appear, back to dark, still present.

Switched to another application, back to IDE and buttons disappear.

At least I now know how to get the buttons to the right location.
