I've seen references to this addin but it looks like this addin has been lost in the internet void but i've seen another sample like this that is a bit more greyed out. Does anyone know of any addin's like this that auto hide xml comments and displays them nicely like this?
That came from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd722812.aspx but no code/dll available...

I just realized that we cannot modify texts in CodeMirror or Ace in a taskpane of an add-in in Excel for Windows.
I have made a test html page with this code, and link it to a manifest file of an Excel add-in. It works well in Excel Online (in Chrome and IE), Excel for Mac. However, in Excel for Windows, 1) textarea works well; 2) We could put the focus on CodeMirror, whereas we can NOT type anything; 3) When we put the focus on Excel then back on Ace, we can NOT type anything.
I have not tested other JavaScript-based source editor, because my webpage is actually built with angularjs and I need ui-codemirror or ui-ace. I have tested them, they have the same bug, though i will not list the testing code here because I don't think it is the ui- that causes the problem.
Is anyone aware of this odd behavior? How could we fix this? Is there any workaround or alternative?
PS: I have found a comment from the author of the CodeMirror, but I don't know if (and how) it can help fix add-ins in Excel for Windows.
PS2: I just realised that, if we click on Excel, then click on a useless area (somewhere without element) in the taskpane before clicking in the Ace textarea, we could then edit its content. Does anyone know how to use this to make a workaround for the Ace textarea? This method does not work with CodeMirror textarea...
I think yo can follow this steps mentioned here.
I hope it will solve your issue as it solve the issue for that user:

I'am trying to create Solution Add-in with the help of this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/vstudio/ms165621(v=vs.80)
However, I've been loosing. I follow those instructions carefully, but I think that something important is missing from my view. So, this is the order of what I am doing, and what I am planning to get:
Create default Add-in solution with the help of Add-in wizard. Since it is planning to be a solution add-in, I remove the XML declaration file.
Check "register is as a COM object" in the properties tab.
Use regasm to register the add-in as a com object in the windows registry.
And this is where the troubles begin. As I understand, I must write the following code from the link into my OnConnect event of Add-in class file. Ok, I've done that. Build project, and everything is fine.
BUT I don't understand how to associate this add-in with solution. MSDN says:
"When Visual Studio loads a solution, it first examines the solution (.sln) file to see if it references add-ins. If so, it loads them and calls the same IDTExtensibility2 methods as a regular Visual Studio add-in."
When I'am trying to debug add-in, I've open my external solution, but nothing fires in my OnConnect event, untill I've checked the add-in in Add-in manager window.
Is it intended to be so, or I am missing something important in this steps. As I understand from descriptions, solution's add-in OnConnect must be fired at the moment, when IDE opens any solution file.
I understand that this won't help you much now, but might help someone else. I have faced the same problem last week, trying to make add-in that will load and be active only with one solution. Ended up on the same MSDN page and stuck on the same point :).
To make solution add-in follow the link provided in the question. Follow all the points listed except point number five - skip adding following line of code in your add-in logic:
EnvDTE.AddIn addin = _applicationObject.Solution.AddIns.Add("MyAddin.Connect", "MyAddinName", "My add-in description", true);
Open text editor and edit .sln. Input these lines at the end of .sln file in the global section:
Global
(...)
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityAddIns) = postSolution
MyAddin.Connect = 1;My add-in description;MyAddinName
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal
This is exactly what _applicationObject.Solution.AddIns.Add() inputs in .sln file
Now when this solution is loaded into visual studio, while loading solution it will also load this add-in. One more thing to add here:
when add-in is loaded this way, connectMode param passed to the OnConnection function has value ext_ConnectMode.ext_cm_Solution.
Hope it helps :)
I am looking to make something like IPhone Listbox !
I found someone who provided a download url for this project: but I was to late and the download url does not work anymore.
So I'm asking if killercode the same member on experts-exchange to upload it again if possible and if there is someone who can help me find the right component for this kind of listbox to use in Delphi.
TDbCtrlGrid looks a lot like what you are looking for.
You just define how each row has to look in the form designer, and that is used as some sort of template for each record in your dataset. It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to reproduce whatever you have in your screenshot.
This screenshot was found via google and shamelessly posted here..
Also, check this question:
Delphi control that could mimic "Add-ons|Extension list" of Firefox?
It's about somebody trying to mimic the FireFox add-on list:
If you want to pay for components, TMS software do an iPhone controls pack, which i think has a listview.
How do I get a projects form, as well as its unit, shown both on the tabs/pages?
Currently I have to use "Toggle form/unit" or press F12
Just out of curiosity's sake, doesn't really bother me, but would be nice to know (I switched over from Delphi 7, so I must still get used to stuff)
Thanks
You can switch using Code/Design Tabs in the bottom.
I believe in XE you can alter the display to display as it did in Delphi 7.
Here is a link describing it. I have not watched it as I don't have much time but being from embaracadero I am going out on a limb and saying it will help.

How can I make my custom visual control to appear on delphi splash screen?
Like this:

I don't have now the time to create a fully functional example, but I believe this link will help you a lot.
LE: I've found some examples here:

Searching the ToolsAPI folder in my Delphi installation for "Splash" yields SplashScreenServices: IOTASplashScreenServices; whose comments read promising.
