in Delphi XE6, I add a StyleBook to the form and double click on it. Designing menu appears. I see the buttons: load, add, save etc. When I click on them nothing happens. It shows designer but when I click, it clicks on the form. When I click on "Apply" button, it opens the devices combo box.
I am using:
Delphi XE6 Update 1
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Paralles Desktop Build 9.0.24237
Mac OS 10.9.4
Well thanks to Tomohiro-san at embarcadero quality centre, when I changed dpi settings of virtual windows the problem has gone.

I have a Firemonkey HD application targeted for the 32-bit Windows platform. Clicking the applications Minimize button from within the Form works as expected and will restore when its taskbar button is clicked, however it will not Minimize this way. I can only Minimize from within the Form. The Windows live preview thumbnail will also not display the Form when it is hovered over with the mouse.
This happens with just a blank new Firemonkey HD application and I get the same behaviour in Windows XP Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 8
I thought at first it could be due to the MainFormOnTaskbar property however this I found out does not apply to Firemonkey and cannot be used.
Is this some limitation of Firemonkey? Why does this happen?
Delphi 2010, Windows 8.1 64 bit.
I am having an oddity occur. When I am in the IDE, I have my form displayed. Every time I click on a control in the form, the form's height and width shrinks. There is NOT empty space at the bottom of the form; controls (both visible and non-visible) are being hidden. It happens on multiple projects. Has anyone seen this before? This is a new install (about 2 weeks ago). The only non-standard functionality I have is that I have both GExperts 1.3.6 installed, as well as CnPack IDE Wizards 1.0.2.666.
I do NOT get this behavior when running the application.
I have tried turning on 'Lock Controls' and this made no difference.
This is annoying ... In Delphi 7 when you clicked on the code window the form would automatically hide. Now it stays on top. I have to minimize it to remove it from focus. Are there any settings that correct this behaviour ? Also I must play hide and seek with component pallete on the right. I have it open but soon as I try and click on the scroll bar to try and search for my components I get everything replaced by Delphi projects etc. Then I must click inside the form for the component pallete to come back again. Annoying... Any way to disable this ?
For the first part of your question you can disable the embedded designer in order which the switch between the form and the code will be like the Delphi 7 IDE.
Tools-> Options -> Environment Options -> Vcl Designer -> Embedded designer (uncheck)
Also you can take a look to the Simon Stuart plugin RADSplit
Now for the component palette part, this windows change depending of the current active form , so if you active window is the form designer the Tool palette show the components else show the Delphi projects menu. Anyway Delphi XE2 includes the classic palette component which always show the components in top toolbar even if you are in the source code view.
I am trying to reproduce native hints/tooltips under Windows Vista/7 using Delphi7.
I've found a nice component which could solve the issue, but it only partially works. TListView components' tooltips aren't shown. The screen is blinking for a sec but no tooltips are shown.
How can I display native tooltips in Windows with Delphi 7?
With latest Delphi versions, if the option "Enable runtime themes" is checked, the tooltips are like you want them. (If it's unchecked, the background is yellow).
I just test it with Delphi XE and TListView (vsIcon & vsReport).
So one easy (but not free) solution is to migrate to a recent Delphi version.
In Delphi XE, how to make the Messages panel to disappear after I successfully compile a project?
That was the default behavior in Delphi 7. In Delphi XE it says 'success' and it leaves that box open.
In XE, Messages is not a message box but a dockable window and as such it won't disappear automatically.
Workaround: Close the Messages window and save the desktop (click on the button next to the Classic Undocked in the toolbar). After each recompile you can then reselect saved desktop by clicking into drop-down list with desktop name (Classic Undocked) and pressing Enter on the keyboard.
Like Delphi 7 you can check the box under the window of compiler process.
