re: Hidden Features of the Delphi 5 IDE

I am 25, grew up mostly with computers. Still use alot of trees as it is easier to take a peice of paper than a laptop/desktop computer.

Hidden Features of the Delphi 5 IDE

That's not much surprise...Other "hidden"(?) features of Delphi include background compilation, header caching, etc...

Hidden Features of the Delphi 5 IDE

This is very nice. As web speeds got up and most of us go to ISDN or more likely cable modem access, I think the documentation could just be on the web. It could be edited easily and cheaply and always be up to date. Then undocumented features that work could be easily documented. My experience with documentation of our products is the sections I thought would cause everyone problems, didn't. And subjects that I thought were crystal clear and easy to understand genterated most of the support calls. We could with web documentation not have a deadline. Documentation could be constantly improved. I am an older person and often print out documentation. But the younger people who work with me, tend to think that behavior is weird. In five years we can do audio video instructional documentation on line. Companies will be able to educate and continuing educate their customers in to dependance.

re: Hidden Features of the Delphi 5 IDE

Yes, you just need to be careful if you have lots of fonts on Win98 or Win95, as you'll run into resource issues.

re: Hidden Features of the Delphi 5 IDE

The key..\Delphi\5.0\Extras\FontNamePropertyDisplayFontNamesDoes something nice: In the component inspector, the "Name" property of the "font" object will display the font name using the font itself...I don't know for the rest (though I have an idea about what "FPUExtras" means :) ) John Kaster http://threads.codegear.com/threads/threads.exe/userall?commentid=24076 http://threads.codegear.com/threads/threads.exe/view?commentid=24076 2000-02-01T18:03:26-08:00 2000-02-01T18:03:26-08:00

Definitely some more goodies to look at.I'd reveal my source, except he might get in trouble with our QA department :-). Now, I'll get in trouble instead.

re: Tweaks downloadable as .REG file

Great idea. Of course, I was thinking about writing a Delphi program to create the entries ...

re: AutoPaletteScroll

Hmm. Dunno what to tell you. They both work for me. You are using D5, and on a component page that has lots of components, so the scroll right arrow appears?

Some other undocumented registry tweaks people might want to try:..\Delphi\5.0\Compiling\ShowCodeInsiteErrors..\Delphi\5.0\Extras\FontNamePropertyDisplayFontNames..\Delphi\5.0\ToDo List\HTMLTableOptions..\Delphi\5.0\Editor\Options\NoCtrlAltKeys..\Delphi\5.0\Globals\PropValueColor..\Delphi\5.0\Debugging\FPUExtrasNote: I have not tried any of these and I have noidea how/if they work.
