Compiling GExperts while the DLL is loaded in the IDE

If you have tried to work on GExperts (or any other DLL-based Delphi IDE expert) you have probably encountered this annoyance: Of course you want GExperts to be active in your IDE so you can use its features. But if you then compile it, the output file already exists and is locked because it is … Continue reading Compiling GExperts while the DLL is loaded in the IDE →

Backwards compatibility of uses lists

Sometimes the uses lists become an issue, when you want to keep your source code backwards compatible to older Delphi versions. This usually happens when some declaration was moved from one RTL/VCL unit to a different one. One example is TAction which has moved from the unit ActnList to the new unit Actions which was … Continue reading Backwards compatibility of uses lists →

dzDeleteProp 1.0.0 released

dzDeleteProp is a small tool I just wrote, that deletes configurable properties from all Delphi .dfm files in a given directory and optionally its subdirectories. The reason for such a tool is backwards compatibility to older Delphi versions, e.g. Delphi 6 does not know about ExplicitWidth and ExplicitHeight, which Delphi 2007 and above insist on … Continue reading dzDeleteProp 1.0.0 released →

Automatically scroll a memo line by line in Delphi

Today vanity caught up with me and I decided to add myself to the list of "major contributors" shown on the GExperts About dialog. But this list has become rather long over the years (actually it is surprisingly short given the time GExperts has been in existence), so only the top few names are visible. … Continue reading Automatically scroll a memo line by line in Delphi →

Bugfix release experimental GExperts 1.38 2016-01-10

There was a major bug in yesterday's experimental GExperts release 1.38 2016-01-09. As discovered and reported by +Karheinz Jansen the Delphi IDE could crash when closing and show cascaded access violations. This was caused by a bug in the handling of dockable forms, which has now been fixed. And since I was at it, I … Continue reading Bugfix release experimental GExperts 1.38 2016-01-10 →

Dockable form handling within GExperts

Because I messed up the dockable form handling for the new Bookmarks expert which resulted in spurious cascading access violations when closing the Delphi IDE, I had to revisit that code. And so I can look up the information I gathered fixing that problem, I'm putting it here for later reference. Basically, you create a … Continue reading Dockable form handling within GExperts →

Experimental GExperts Version 1.38 2016-01-09 released

New year, new GExperts 😉 I just want to show off the one new feature that resides in the IDE tab of the configuration dialog: (I also fixed the tab order in this dialog.) What does it do? Quite simpple: It shows a little '...' button in the package list dialog(s). You get this dialog … Continue reading Experimental GExperts Version 1.38 2016-01-09 released →

Placing a bookmark in an Excel spreadsheet and jumping to it

Many programs have got a bookmarking functionality that allow you to place a bookmark (optionally give it a name) at a given position. You can then later use that bookmark to jump to that previously marked position. In Excel, a "bookmark" is synonymous to a hyper-link, but that's not what I want, but the same … Continue reading Placing a bookmark in an Excel spreadsheet and jumping to it →
