The only lacking thing is old component palette. Other than that, Delphi 2007 is superior compared to Delphi 7, but I like the Delphi 7 style clBtnFace colors much more than Delphi 2007’s colors.
The desktop is still not as flexible as it should be, we live in a world of dual monitors why cant I just undock my form so I can display it on my second monitor. Why do I have to put up with a tool palette search facility that still cant work out that when I press the button I don’t want my typeing to appear in some random properties editor of the object inspector. come on you have had years to get something simple as focus right when a button is pressed. As for better than Delphi 7 well when I can install components without crashing the IDE, when the IDE can exit gracefully without upsetting vista when I have a component palette that is actually intuitive rather than obtrusive you will be half way to where delphi was at version 6. Its a visual IDE allegedly based around a visual component library, why is it so hard for Borland/CodeGear to grasp that the component pallete is the core of that. So another $2000 dollars goes on to the shelf in the guise of functional software and Delphi 7 gets re-installed, this is getting more than annoying now.

Is it better to try and learn to live with the new format, or to switch back to the old?

May 5th, 2007 at 12:11 amNice. To open both the code and forms windows simultaneously:
From the main toolbar, select: Classic Undocked
Tools>Options>VCL Designer
Deselect Embedded Designer
Close the IDE
Restart D2007
It works. Nice to have the choice. Simple when one know how. Thanks.
May 5th, 2007 at 5:31 amI really like that Clock application that you have as well.
May 5th, 2007 at 12:22 pmAny chance you can tell us where you got it?
Thanks!
Nice, never knew that was available. Its really helpful on dual monitor setups.
May 6th, 2007 at 11:51 amThanks, but I note that if you run with un-embedded forms and then minimise D2007, your forms are left on the desktop
Any idea how to fix?
(This happens under Vista)
May 6th, 2007 at 7:20 pmThe designer looses Windows themes when not using the embedded designer.

There is a freeware download called DDevExtensions that allows you to set up the old component palette. I’ve used it in D2005 & D2006. Works well.
May 8th, 2007 at 4:55 amI’m more interested in making D2006 HELP system more like D5. I live in hope.

May 8th, 2007 at 4:36 pmWhat I’d like to see is everything docked but have the form design surface floating. So it’s kind of a hybrid of the two options that exist right now.
And no, it doesn’t appear that QC has an entry like this; and no I haven’t put in a QC for it…yet.
