Revision as of 12:38, 27 December 2006

This page is for adding suggestions for additions/modifications to this Delphi wiki. For suggestions for additions/modifications to the Delphi product see Delphi_Suggestions

VCL documentation project

  • VCL wiki templates.

Controls and palettes

  • Looking for a control in Delphi can be done browsing the palettes. Knowing the name or part of the name of a control speeds up finding it considerably. (There is a filter button on the Tool Palette in Delphi 2005 and 2006) If you have Delphi starting with version 5 which doesn't have this filter you can install DDevExtensionswhich does roughly the same as the component filter behaviour in higher Delphi versions.
  • Also, the componente palette of BDS 200x has got incremental search, so just press ctrl-alt-p to activate it and then start typing the name of the component you need. The palette will only display components starting with the letters you typed (e.g. you type "la" and it will display TLabel) --Dummzeuch 16:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The palette sections probably have different controls on install depending on your version of Delphi.

Custom component development resources / tutorials

  • The most comprehensive custom component development resources / tutorials ever

Common Delphi problems

  • A troubleshooter for compile and run time errors, and IDE bugs.

Restore the helpfulness of what used to be in the Delphi Help

  • Delphi version five had some excellent code snippets that showed examples of how components were used, this was extremely useful for beginners. All of this useful content has been stripped out of newer versions of the help. It would be great to see it restored in this Wiki.

Special Interest Topics

Compilation of tips/pointers/gotchas for:

  • Vista: installing/using the IDE within Vista and creating Vista-ready applications.
