I've been playing around with Berlin for a couple of days. These sessions is about finding out about a lot of changes and additions since XE2 (i use XE7 too, but only "like" XE2 because i could not upgrade some of the needed libraries).

I've been playing around with Berlin for a couple of days. These sessions is about finding out about a lot of changes and additions since XE2 (i use XE7 too, but only "like" XE2 because i could not upgrade some of the needed libraries).

It's a lot of fun catching up on RTL, VCL and what 3rd Party Libs i could afford. So i'm starting small projects and checking out published properties a lot.

1. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the ellipsis button in the Object Inspector? The button brings up collection and other kinds of design-time editor windows / dialogs.

2. Is there a IDE plugin or something that will keep the active row in the Object Inspector after i clicked and used a collection editor? Why; When i click (example "Columns" property in TDBGrid) to edit a collection the collection gets focused in the "Structure" view, that changes the content of the Object Inspector and when i close the editor the active row is the first again. It's kind of annoying to scroll down again so many times. Exp. with "huge" components (DevExpress for example). It would be supercool if the IDE could remember a fallback for the active property (it tries to remain on the same property when changing controls and that is good).

  1. Thomas Mueller, Girish Patil yes that works!

    Guess i'm destroyed by internet development where a button and a link uses different keystrokes. Didn't occur to me to use the drop-down key :) Silly...
