<< Yes. Its in the EWB book and isn't that hard to do. However, I left them in there as I know Tim would like to have an integrated solution out of the box. >>

The catch is that it isn't particularly hard to do a *simple* HTML editor in EWB because of the built-in browser support for doing so, so it's something that can be accomplished rather quickly.  Plus, we'll need it for our web site when it gets rewritten using EWB. I've been putting that off for several years now, and it needs to get done soon.

One little thing. In Project->Options I can configure option "Show load progress." It would be good to have possibility to customize string shown in progress dialog.

Databound TGrid, the TGridColumn OnCellUpdate event can have a underline DataSet parameter.

TGrid can have Total or Summary Row,
TGrid can auto filter like devexpress' control

What are you wanting that is different to what is available now? You can parent windows on other windows, and you can have them move about, and you can put a browser (iFrame) in one. What more are you wanting?

It would be very nice when I could create a repository of forms. I tried copy and paste the sourcefiles, but that seems to go wrong sometimes.

And please, please, please add a property values to TButtonComboBox and the rest of the family, if you understand what I mean.

First, let me say you've done a phenomenal job.  I have huge mega projects and they compile in about 2 seconds and are reliable.  And you've given us the ability to bring in other libraries which I exploited in my book.

My wish list is stuff that only you can do:

1. Source debugging in Chrome - this is really not hard and would be an enormous
   help.
    a) doing the code line mapping, I think I sent you sample code to do it
    b) adding breakpoint; to the language

2. The ability to use Variant's like this
    var
      x : Variant;

   begin
      x.tree := 'blah';

  which delphi users would call late binding, but we know it is really just straight javascript conversion.
  That would mean interfacing with other javascript libraries wouldn't require us to make all those
  humongous classes.

That is all

Thanks. Smile

I looked into source maps in pretty good detail, and, believe it or not, it's actually quicker for me to simply integrate the Chrome browser into the IDE in order to provide debugging.  That will eliminate the need for external debugging, and will allow you to debug directly in the Object Pascal code in the IDE.  I'll probably still do source maps at some point, but it will be latter.

<< 2. The ability to use Variant's like this

      x.tree := 'blah'; >>

You *can* do this, you just need to do this:

    var
      x : Variant;

   begin
      TMyClass(x).tree := 'blah';

Without the cast, there is no way for the compiler to provide any static type guarantees.

<< That would mean interfacing with other javascript libraries wouldn't require us to make all those humongous classes. >>

Those external interfaces are what provide the "reliable" that you mentioned above. Smile

That sounds good. Please make sure it will work with an external server. Right now I can't run in the IDE at all because it has to get data etc from elsewhere. I can't remember the actual reason, but if it can do that too it will be very sweet!
