Toolbars in GExperts for Delphi 11 dialogs are now scaled
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.

GExperts for Delphi 11 isn’t here yet

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.

Separate cache directories per platform in the Uses Clause Manager in GExperts
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
Separate lists for VCL and FMX in GExperts Rename Components expert
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
Limited GExperts support for Delphi 6
A few weeks back something happened with my Delphi 6 installation which now results in an access violation every time I start the IDE. I tried for several hours to find and fix the problem to no avail. It's not GExperts related, disabling the DLL was the first thing I tried. Now I'm giving up. … Continue reading Limited GExperts support for Delphi 6
GExperts and older / unpatched Delphi IDEs
GExperts is always compiled with the latest update of any of the supported Delphi versions. That unfortunately means that it may not work if the IDE hasn't been updated to the latest version. E.g. The latest GExperts release will not work with Delphi 10.2, but only with Delphi 10.2.3, the latest update to Delphi 10.2. … Continue reading GExperts and older / unpatched Delphi IDEs
