I have just finished making the stand alone GExperts Grep to really be stand alone, that is: It no longer needs the GExperts DLL but contains all the functionality in one executable. It has also been compiled with Delphi 11 Alexandria so it should be per monitor DPI aware. Another feature is the ability to … Continue reading Per monitor DPI aware stand alone GExperts Grep →

Another episode from the series "GExperts features that I didn't know about": It's possible to drag an entry from the GExperts Grep to any other Windows program, e.g. to the Explorer, which will copy that file to the directory it was dragged to, or to an editor which will open that file. I just now … Continue reading Drag and Drop from the GExperts Grep Results →

Some of the experts in GExperts have seen small improvements lately: The Goto expert now allows incremental search in the list by typing in the number field. This feature was contributed by Achim Kalwa. The Grep search expert now takes the name of the currently selected control on the form designer if it is opened … Continue reading Small improvements to GExperts →

Just a quick info on the state of GExperts for Delphi 11: I went through all the dialogs and now the toolbars and also the icons in the menus should be scaled properly. They don't really look nice because they are simply enlarged using the method Žarko Gajić described, but I don't really want to … Continue reading Toolbars in GExperts for Delphi 11 dialogs are now scaled →

After wasting days and more days of my valuable spare time on trying to get the high DPI display problems sorted out for GExperts for Delphi 11, I give up now. I'll wait for Delphi 11.1 or at least some additional patches before I spend any more time on this. If somebody else wants to … Continue reading There will be no GExperts release for Delphi 11 →

After several weeks trying to get the GExperts UI to look acceptable under Delphi 11 on high DPI monitors, here it is: The first Alpha version of GExperts for Delphi 11. Please keep in mind: This is not even a Beta version! There will be bugs and these will not only be UI glitches but … Continue reading GExperts 1.3.19 Alpha for Delphi 11 →

I'm working on a GExperts release for Delphi 11. But due to the changes for High DPI support in the IDE this might still take a while. If you are adventurous, you can always get the sources and build your own DLL. There is a project and build scripts for Delphi 11 already. But be … Continue reading GExperts for Delphi 11 isn’t here yet →

The Uses Clause Manager in GExperts has an "Identifier" tab that can be used instead of the Find Unit refactoring of the Delphi IDE (which for me doesn't work most of the time and if it does is very slow). And of course the Uses Clause Manager also works for older Delphi versions which simply … Continue reading Separate cache directories per platform in the Uses Clause Manager in GExperts →

The Rename Components expert in GExperts now has separate lists for the names and additional properties for VCL and FMX components. Previously it was a hassle to have additional properties shown in the rename dialog if these have different names in VCL vs. FMX e.g. the Caption vs. Text property of TLabel. Now you simply … Continue reading Separate lists for VCL and FMX in GExperts Rename Components expert →
