Delphi's auto generated "inherited;" code is incomplete. Is there a way to tell Delphi XE3 (that's what I use - and can't upgrade) to implement the full inherited line of code so Ctrl+LClick can do code navigation. The way Delphi generates code I can't use code navigation.

    No and that would also be a bad idea because then changing the signature without changing the explicit inherited call would break code.

    They should rather fix code navigation on standalone inherited -

    David Millington What's up with issues and feature requests once reported by you and still not being addressed? ;)

    IMO, the code navigation is broken for Inherited; and it's very annoying.

    Stefan Glienke: And amazingly the open source Lazarus IDE manages to keep both the signature and inherited call in sync without bothering the developer. Is that beyond the skills of the EMBT developers?
