First of all I have to say, I like BDS2006, a major update for BCB5 I
used before, already very much, even if I just explored a minor part
of it.
I'm not sure, if this is the correct place, but since most proposals
concerning the ide-handling I post it here. (Is there a better group?)
Nevertheless I just stumbled about some smaller things I have hoped to
be changed and could be (probably) changed with minor effort:
(1) If a message-box is beeing opend (e.g. while compiling or a
message, that the string to be searched is not available) it is always
opend in the center of the screen. I would have preferred it to be
opened in the center of the BDS-Application. The reason is, that if
you have a virtual screen, i.e. a screen which is larger than the
ability of the monitor to show it, this messagebox is hidden and you
have to scroll the screen to find it.
(2) When searching for a whole word and you enter something like
'FormShow(' this string is searched but could not be found. So an
error should be useful, that 'FormShow(' is nothing which can be found
as whole world.
(3) If nested commentaries are enabled it would be nice the editor
would display the complete commentary-block as commentary. E.g. in
/* a /* b */ c */
the last chars
c */
would not be shown as commentary.
(4) When debugging the color of the execution position should have
priority over the color of an active breakpoint. I.e. if the debugger
holds on an active breakpoint the color of this line should change to
the execution position.
(5) Also I would have liked if the automatically created
events-functions (i.e. the function-frame appearing when one clicks on
e.g. OnClick() in the object-inspector) would have been customizable.
My preferences e.g. would be that the complete function-header
(including the '{' would be in one line (no line-breaks after ~80
chars).
Perhaps is the one or other proposal already implemented and I just
didn't find the option where to adjust it?
Thanks,
Michael
