What''''s New in Delphi 2005

Delphi 2005 contains the following new features for developing Delphi, Delphi for .NET, and C# applications.

IDE

    The IDE now provides support for Delphi for .NET, Delphi for Win32, and C# application development. An icon in the IDE toolbars indicates the current development environment: Delphi for .NET , Delphi for Win32 , or C# .

    Updating and saving files in the IDE now creates multiple backup files in the hidden __history directory of the current directory. Use the new Create backup files and File backup limit options on the Tools Options Editor Options page to control the creation of backup files. By default, up to 10 backup files are created.

    The new History Manager page lets you see and compare prior versions of a file, including multiple backup versions, saved local changes, and the buffer of unsaved changes for the active file. You can revert a prior version to the current version and use synchronized scrolling to navigate two file versions.

    The new Structure View shows the hierarchy of source code and HTML displayed in the Code Editor, or components displayed on the Designer. When displaying the structure of source code or HTML, you can double-click an item to jump to its declaration or location in the Code Editor. When displaying components, you can double-click a component to select it on the form. If you code contains syntax errors, they appear in the Errors folder of the view.

    The Import Component Wizard lets you import existing ActiveX, .NET, or VCL components to a new or existing package.

    A new environment option lets you choose whether VCL forms are displayed on the Design tab or in an undocked, floating window. Choose Tools Options Environment Options Delphi Options VCL Designer and uncheck the Embedded Designer option to enable the floating VCL form.

    The Object Inspector now retains form information when the Code Editor is displayed.

    The Tool Palette Search text box has been replaced with the filter icon . To filter the items displayed in the Tool Palette, click anywhere in the Tool Palette and begin typing the item name you want to find. To remove the search filter, click the filter icon.

    The new Tool Palette and Colors pages in Tools Options control the appearance of the Tool Palette and replace several of the Tool Palette context menu commands.
