Delphi 2007 Multiple Editors

Delphi 2007 Multiple Editors
Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:54:06 -040
In Delphi 5, when you are in the code editor screen, and you do right click, 
new edit window, you get an new editor.pas:x file where x is the number of 
the next editor.

How can you do this is Delphi 2007?  Currently, when I do this the editor 
move to a separate screen but only one instance of the editor is available.

Thanks

In D2007 this only works if you use the fully undocked layout.

It is one of the available standard layouts, you can pick it from the
layout dropdown on the IDEs main menu bar and make it the default
layout with the toolbutton to the right of the dropdown.

I took me a while and my programmer had to show me what you meant by IDE's 
but we did figure it out.

However, that does not solve the problem.

In D5, you can have multiple screens of code of the same form.

This was very handy because I could have one editor screen looking at Public 
variables, one looking at procedure variables and several other all over the 
place.

Many times I would have 5 or 6 screen up looking at the same form.code.

Not having this will certainly slow down coding because you have to move 
back and forth all the time.

I might find my self actually doing hard coding in D5 and then upgrade to 
D2007 for final compile.
