Community edition form designer

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I haven't used Delphi since version 6 but I thought now to try it again after a long break. So I downloaded community edition but noticed that floating form designer has disappeared.

I remember it was easy to design a gui in the past but now it is really difficult.

Is there any way to get a form designer full screen size?

You can open a second edit window and (since D11) put the form designer in that one. That will mimic the former floating designer pretty well.

Thank you Uwe. Community edition is 10.4 and in this version you can get only code in a second edit window.

Almost. I use a custom Desktop that hides the side bars and messages across bottom.
Just hide the side bars and save desktop. I named mine Startup layout since its
used to add controls to the form and see more code when making a new application

using <F12> to switch.  

A side effect is the object inspector gains height when invoked from flyout view or
<F11> key.  

This is in 10.4.2.   Above gives about same size view as a second view window.
