   NOw if the object inspector would only STAY on the property I had selected as I navigate from component to component.

   Setting tab orders is a HUGE hassle in D2007 compared to D7 because of that.

   @C Johnson
   Get GExperts - it has a great Tab Order expert that is worth it’s weight in gold. Just shift-select the components in the order that you want the tab order and then select "Set Tab Order" from the GExperts menu et voila ! Cheers Stu

   Speaking of the object inspector can you tell me why the F11 key toggles between the Form Designer, Object Inspector AND the Editor. F11 should NOT bring up the Editor, that’s what F12 is for.

   D7 and earlier toggled only between the Form Designer and Object Inspector if I remember correctly. Life was good.

   Yes I know and cannot live without it
   and I agree with C Johnson, selected property should stay current even I select component that doesn’t have this property (e.g. TabOrder)

   I knew and I use it everyday, sometimes showing some VS colleague how it’s fast to locate a property with that feature (which is not supported by VS, as far as I know).

   Cheers,
   Marco.

   Tab order can be easily set right-clicking the container or selecting the container and then Edit->Tab Order (why does the structure pane contextual menu for a component does not have Tab Order?)

   @Irakly: how could the OI display a property that does not belong to the current component? It would be really misleading.
