I'll stop using it when Tim and other third party vendors stop supporting it. One thing that I don't like about the IDE in BDS2006 (if I may add this), is that to switch from the form to the code, you have to press F12, you cannot mouse click the unit and you cannot move the form. It is always in the upper left portion. Haven't gotten used to that either. This hasn't changed from D2005. I'm sure to play with the IDE layout until I get one that I really like or at least get used to. Craig Delphi Source Code for Accounting Systems www.ledgeraccounting.com |

"B Miller" | Craig,
There are 3 tabs at the bottom of the design window: Code, Design, History. You can just click on the code or design to toggle back and forth. Since I almost always us F12 I didn't find them until you mentioned that there wasn't a way to toggle with the mouse. Roy, I just discovered the History tab when I found the Code and Design tabs. Each file version is saved so you can revert back to any one of them. You can also compare the changes made from one to the next. Add this to my list of "likes" for D2006. Regards, Bill Miller |

Sean McCall | Craig,
I don't like the categorized object list either, but you can change it back. Right click & select Arrange, by Name.

Is the Object TreeView still around? I can't see it on Craig's picture. Roy Lambert |

Sean McCall | Jon (& anyone else),
What are the form properties you use (eg pixelsperinch & scaled), do you use large fonts, and what size is your monitor (I have a 17" lcd monitor)? I am guessing that what you do is use ordinary fonts & keep the maximum size of a designed form to 640x480 pixels... is this how you're doing it?

Sean McCall | Roy,
I never used the TreeView, but they have a Structure viewer which looks like its the Object TreeView when you are in design mode. When in code editing mode, the structure shows the classes, uses, etc. Sean Roy Lambert wrote: > Bill > > > Is the Object TreeView still around? I can't see it on Craig's picture. > > Roy Lambert > |

I don't exactly use it much but its great for getting back to the form to edit its properties, especially when there's no blank area of the form to click on. Roy Lambert |
