Grumble- D2007 |
Tue, Mar 18 2008 11:03 PM | Permanent Link |
Herb (Kraft) | I have degraded, I mean upgraded to D2007 for Win 32 several months ago, I guess more out
of the desire to pay CodeGear something than anything else. I hate and despise the #$$(($ component layout (on the left side, instead of below the toolbars.) I have, of course, read the help and looked at properties. Suggestions on how to replicate D7 (and I think before) placement. Finding stuff is driving me nuts. Thanks! Herb |

"Julio S." | Try installing DDevExtensions from Andy Hausladen: http://andy.jgknet.de/dspeedup/index.php?page=DDevExtensions It have an option to restore the old style componente palette in D2006 and D2007. http://andy.jgknet.de/dspeedup/index.php?page=screenshots From this same site, download the DelphiSpeedup to agilize the D2007 IDE, it works for D7 too. http://andy.jgknet.de/dspeedup/index.php Also, you can deactivate the option of the "Embedded Designer" in: Tools -> Options -> VCL Designer So, you could have the forms floating instead the default way of the designer (that is a copy of the designer in visual studio). Whatever, I think that is more comfortable in the old D7 way. Hope that this help. Regards.

I felt like you to start with - stick with it - it get better. Also try the lookup approach - click on the filter and start typing the component name - brilliant. Roy Lambert |

I half agree - it does get better, but I still find it awkward.

Dan Rootham | Herb,
<< Finding stuff is driving me nuts. >> I agree that D2007 is a steep learning curve if you migrate direct from D7 - like I did. The new component palette drove me wild at first. But now I actually appreciate the way in which I can type a component's classname in the component palette - and the incremental search just homes in on the right component. That's way quicker than plodding through the tabs the old way in D7. Dan |

Herb (Kraft) | In my case in particular I'm writing front ends to databases; I am typically using the
same components over and over and could find them in my sleep. And I have.

Herb (Kraft) | Yes, Cantu is an awesome resource. I believe that book is available through Lulu. I'll get it.

Dan Rootham | Herb,
<< I believe that book is available through Lulu. >> It certainly is on Lulu. I just bought Marco Cantu's "Delphi 2007 Handbook" there. Go to: http://www.lulu.com and search for "Cantu". Regards, Dan |
