Question

I have hundreds of components in my Delphi 2006 installation, but I always have trouble finding those I haven't used before and that may be the solution for what I need at the moment. I have many undocumented packages, but by the name of the component you can have an idea of what it does.

For example:

I need a RadioButton, so I have TRadioButton, TElRadioButton or TAdvRadioButton to choose which one has the custom properties that I need.

But when I click the Filter Button of the Tool Palette, I have to Type from the beginning of the component name. If I could have a field editor where I could type only a part of the name and the Palette showed me the components that had that term in the middle of the name too, I would make my day!!!

Does anyone know how in Delphi 2006?

I know that Delphi XE2 has this filter field.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The DDevExtensions IDE extension (http://andy.jgknet.de/blog/ide-tools/ddevextensions/) has a Component Selector that does what you need

(also using D2006, so it definitely works)
