Palette not showing anything..

[Ian Branch 121]

Hi Team,

D10.4.1, Win 10 64bit.

Suddenly my palette doesn't want to show anything.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

TIA,

Ian

I have seen similar issues with MMX after a debugging session. Does it help to switch layouts or unpin and hide/show the palette window?

 

I guess that slipped in with reducing the flicker of the IDE.

Hi Uwe,

ATT I don't have MMX installed.

No it didn't.

What I have done and it seems to have saved it is delete the .dst files and disabled 'Save project desktop when closing'.

I don't know if it was one or the other or both that did it but I am back in business.

I note the .dst file(s) haven't been re generated and all is looking good att.

I also not I was getting a lot of "A component named DotNetForm already exists." error messages.  They too have disappeared.

Ahhh me.  The joys of the IDE. ;-)

 

Regards,

Ian

That error is not related to MMX, but somehow to the docked forms. In contrast to your case I haven't been able to reproduce it with standard IDE forms, though. The relation to the .dst files doesn't actually surprise me.

On Registry verify if you PALETTE - Cache is present and with definitons:

• Computador\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0\Palette\Cache

 

the user setup is copyed by: C:\Users\<<WIN_USER>>\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\<<IDE_Number>>  <---- all directory!!

• try backup (winrar/zip, etc...) this directory whole, and delete it, to see if your IDE will go create it as before!
• else, just restore your backup

Hi emailx45

Registry all OK.

I backup and deleted the directory as suggested.

WOW! didn't that screw up Delphi...  See attached.

Restored the original..

Just to close this off.  I did a complete D10.4.1 De/Re.   All good now.

I have the same issue. I've reported the bug, but (as always) see no reaction from Embarcadero:
