Make Messages TOOL WINDOW remain always visible after Build/Compile

Recommended Posts

I am not sure whether this Delphi 10.4 behavior was different in previous Delphi versions:

 

After a successful Build/Compile the MESSAGES TOOL WINDOW automatically DISAPPEARS/HIDES together with the Build/Compile Dialog!

 

While the automatic disappearance of the Build/Compile Dialog after a successful Build/Compile is desirable, the automatic disappearance of the Messages Tool Window even after a successful Build/Compile IMO is NOT preferable if it was visible before.

 

Is it possible to set this behavior?

 

What do you think?

Isn't that something you can just save using the desktop settings?

Edith says: Yes, it is.

No. I've explicitly saved the Desktop setting with the VISIBLE Messages Tool Window. The Messages Tool Window is always automatically hidden after a successful Build/Compile.

And you did save it as your default desktop (Standard-Layout), not the debug desktop?

Yes, of course I did:

GExperts has an option to automatically close it on successful compile. Maybe you have enabled it? (Default is disabled though.)

Yes, it was the GExperts option which I had enabled in an emotional overreaction for the joy of the new GExperts version. :classic_smile:

 

BTW, thanks to Thomas for the new version!
