Sometime i need to find an object properties on the object inspector pane quickly, before i found a new way, i use the scroll bar then search for the properties, now i found a new way.

To search for an object properties faster, you have to know the name of the properties first then you have to activate the Object Inspector Pane, either by pressing F11 or by selecting it using the mouse or by pressing the Return Key when focusing on the component, then the focus will be default to the object properties value, now to search for the property we want, you must press the TAB key then the focus will move to the object properties name. From there you can start typing the property name and it will focus to the first property that has the name similar to what you type

One feature i like in Delphi XE is the Build Group. This feature make me build or compile my multiple project, multiple module quickly. This feature will store projects and packages that we want to be Compiled/Build/Clear together into a Build Name. You can have multiple Build Group of course. With this feature i can just choose a build name, let say Client that will just compile the GUI package and the Client Application that my Project Group actually consist of more packages and application. This feature is very handy if you are working with a lot of projects and packages.

To use this feature:

- First click on the Show Build Group Pane on the project manager pane

- Then click on the New Build Group button

- Then set the build group name

- Then select all projects and packages that need to be in one build group

To use the build group

- First click on the Show Build Group Pane on the project manager pane

- Then choose the build name you want to build

- then click on the Compile/Build/Clear button on the build group pane

That’s all.

Debugging multi project in Delphi XE January 4, 2012

Currently my project is consist of 2 application which is the server application and the client application. Sometimes i need to debug both of them, so that i can debug the client and also debug the server application at the same time in which i can see what the client sent and what the server read and handle the client request.  This is very handy. This  debugging feature is supported since Delphi XE.

To debug both application at the same time, you need to do this:

- First you must compile all project, remember: compile all not build all

- Second, run the first application either by activating the project first then hit F9 or to right click on the project file then click on the Run menu, remember: not the Run Without Debugging menu

- Third, run the second application using the same method above

- It’s done, just make sure the order to run the application must be correct, for me, i must run the server application first then the client application

Note: if you already did all the step i mention above, even though you set the client application to active, the debugger will still stop on the server application too. So make sure you compile all your project

Hope this will help you if you need to do multiple debugging.
