I have a live binding here from an Edit control to a SpinBox control.
Selecting it and pressing the Delete key on the keyboard has no effect. Neither do Ctrl+X, or the Edit -> Cut or Edit -> Delete menu items.
How do I remove it?
Right click on the link and click "Remove link". Maybe some day, deleting a link will work in a more intuitive manner.

I apologize in advance for this vague question but can anyone give me a pointer to this problem?
The Delete key does not work as normal in my application. e.g. The Delete key has no effect in an editbox (i.e. it will not delete highlighted text) but Shift Delete does work. This seems to be the case thoughout the application. I have disabled all keypreviews and OnKey events in case they were causing it but the problem persists.
Can anyone suggest where I might look for the problem?
Running Windows 10 Delphi 10.3.3
If this happens only in this particular application, it is likely that you have a TActionList or TActionManager with an action using Delete as its shortcut, or a simple menu item with such a shortcut.
For instance, you might have an Edit menu with a Clear item using Delete as its shortcut:
Then that action or menu item will respond to Delete, not allowing the focused control to do its own thing.
This kind of mistake is surprisingly common. For instance, in the Delphi IDE, you have an edit field above the editor, showing you the current class:
If you select this text and press Ctrl+C, you expect it to end up in the clipboard. But no! Instead, the selected text in the code editor (if any) is copied, even though the code editor didn't have keyboard focus.
For as long as I can remember I had a search box near the top of the Assembly Explorer - this afternoon it's gone, and all attempts at restoring it have failed.
Is this a bug or did I somehow closed it? Can I bring it back?
Late answer. You clicked the "Toggle auto-hide of search bar" beside the search box. To get it back type any character when the focus is on the Assembly Explorer window. The click the Pin to keep it visible.
I had the same problem, but I did not find a way to simply bring back the search box.
Instead I reset all settings to default which made the search box appear again:
Go to Tools -> Options
On the bottom left click 'Manage…'
On the top right, click 'Reset All Settings'
I am looking for a way to open the method popup that shows up when you click the navigation-bar in XCode.
is there a way to do this by using a shortcut?
The shortcut is ^6 (a.k.a. Control+6). To change the shortcut go to Xcode-->Preferences...->Key Bindings, and look for the View Menu list. It is called "Standard editor -> Show Document items"
control+6. Pres control and 6 together. :)
I am trying to write my first firemonkey - HD application
Create an firemonkey - HD application
On the form put a TLabel and change its Name.
Select the TLabel
In the Drop Down Menu select Edit
Why are all the editing options disabled ?
OR
In the Main Menu at the top of the screen select Edit
Why are all the editing options disabled ?
Question: What am I doing wrong ?
Appears to be a bug. Select another tab and back (or F12 into the text and back) and the Edit menu works properly. Click on anything other than the form and it stops working.
In a similar vein, sometimes hitting F12 to get from the text to form displays won't work either (again change tabs and back).
A bug, however if you check the Edit from the main menu instead of the right click, you will see that all of the options are enabled.
I'm using XE6, and while cut works (lines can be pasted into Notepad), paste fails even with the F12 and click-tab tricks.
I need to set the menu help text of my shell context menu popup menu item just like winzip shellContext menu. I tried IContextMenu_GetCommandString but it is only setting menu help for sub menus of my main popup menu. Please help me and let me know how to set the menu help for my main poup menu?
Thanks
In case you haven't solved this already, here is what worked for me.
You need to insert your popup menu into the explorer menu using InsertMenuItem, as described here. This allows you to give your popup menu an ID.
The shell passes that ID into IContextMenu_GetCommandString when querying the items, by way of checking for that ID you can return any help string you need.
However, it may simply not be displayed if you right-click on a folder in the (left) folders pane of explorer, and not in the files pane to the right. On my system, if one or more elements are selected in the files pane, the properties (type, size, name and some more stuff) are displayed in the status bar, even if I right-click on any folder in the folders pane.
This seems to be standard behaviour - at least on my system it's the same for all installed custom extensions and even for the default explorer menus.
