BDS 2006 IDE Tips and Tricks

Its really cool to be able to mark a block of text in the editor where you just draw a region around the text you want.Hold down ALT, while dragging a square around som text... Works really good with copy/paste, but remember to have room where you paste, as it pastes "overwriting" Ondrej Kelle http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/userall?commentid=39653 http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/view?commentid=39653 2006-11-17T08:46:02-08:00 2006-11-17T08:46:02-08:00

BDS 2006 IDE Tips and Tricks

There are lots of ways to select and manipulate components in the form designer. Here are a few that save me some time:If you want to select controls on a panel or other container, hold down the Ctrl key will let you drag and select the child controls without selecting the panel itself.If you have a panel or other container with child controls aligned so that you can't click on the parent, select one of the child components and press Escape. That control's parent is selected.If you want to drag a panel or other container where you can't click on it directly, click on a child component, hold down the left mouse button and press Escape. The parent control is selected and can be dragged around with the mouse until you let up on the mouse button.

BDS 2006 IDE Tips and Tricks

Block Write: Ctrl-K then W will save the highlighted block of text. A Save dialog will appear.Block Read: Ctrl-K then R will insert the file specified in the Open dialog into the current editor at the cursor position.These are handy for multiple copy and paste operations and for saving handy snippets of code.Ctrl-K then I is block indent.Ctrl-K then U is block un-indent.Ctrl-T is delete to end of word. This also deletes the subsequent spaces, so is very handy when formatting code manually.Ctrl-Y is erase line. This erases the entire line including CR/LF for the line where the text cursor is located.- Phil pdorcas@omegaair.com
