Starting with GExperts 1.3.20 calling the standalone Experts Manager displayed the error message "GExpertsInst is not a valid reference". After that the tool actually works fine. This bug has now been fixed in the current source code. I don't think this minor inconvenience justifies a new release.

You may remember that I was forced to reduce GExperts support for Delphi 6 a while ago, because the IDE no longer started on my computer. It turns out that it was a GExperts bug after all. The fix was simple once I knew what the problem was. And I only found out because carrchri, … Continue reading GExperts 1.3.21 experimental twm 2022-04-09 released →

A long time ago I added the Identifier tab to the Uses Clause Manager in GExperts. It looks like this: In this screen shot, I filtered for TWinControl and the expert found several matching entries, the two top ones in the unit Controls. While this looks like a bug at first (indeed I have received … Continue reading Duplicate entries in the identifier list of the GExperts Uses Clause Manager →

COVID-19 is still going strong, even 2 years after it was first discovered. We're on the Omicron variant now and nobody knows what new variants the near future may bring.

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 →
