Description
|
|
Find Declaration
|
Opens the source file for the selected symbol and highlights the declaration.
Appears in the context menu only when you right-click a symbol in the Code Editor.
This command invokes Code Browsing, and searches the following paths:
- For Delphi:
- The project search path (Project > Options > Delphi Compiler)
- The global browsing path (Tools > Options > Environment Options > Delphi Options > Library)
- For C++:
|
|
Open Source/Header File (C++ only)
|
Does either of the following:
- If the implementation file (.cpp) is displayed in the Code Editor, opens the header file (.h).
- If the header file (.h) is displayed in the Code Editor, opens the implementation file (.cpp).
|
|
Close Page
|
Closes the current source file. If there is only one source file currently open, the Code Editor window is closed as well, but the project remains open.
|
|
Open File at Cursor
|
Searches for and attempts to open a source file whose name matches the text currently under the cursor. Then either:
- Opens the source file by that name (if one exists).
- Displays the Open dialog (if a file by that name does not exist in the search path), so that you can browse to the location of a file you want to open.
The file is opened in a new Code Editor page.
Unit scope names are now used to help locate the correct file. Every project has a set of default unit scopes that the IDE can use to search for units if the unqualified unit name is not found.
For example, if you point to FMX.Controls.pas and select Open File at Cursor, the IDE searches for the unit-scoped name first (FMX.Controls.pas) and then looks for the unscoped unit name (Controls.pas).
Then the IDE takes all the unit scopes defined for the project and prepends each unit scope to the unit name, until either the file is found or there are no more unit scopes: for example, Rtl.Controls.pas, Fmx.Controls.pas, and so on.
|
|
New Edit Window
|
Opens a separate full-screen window containing the same contents as the original Code Editor window.
|
|
File Format
|

- Binary
- Big Endian UCS-2
- Little Endian UCS-2
- Big Endian UCS-4
- Little Endian UCS-4
- UTF8
- ANSI
|
|
Topic Search
|
Invokes the help system and requests the help topic that matches the currently selected item in the Code Editor.
|
|
Add to Repository
|
Opens the Add to Repository dialog box, which enables you to add forms and templates to the New Items dialog box in the IDE.
|
|
Increase Font Size
|
Increases the font size of the Code Editor.
|

|
|
Add To-Do Item
|
Opens the Add To-Do Item dialog box so that you can create a To-Do item and add it to the To-Do list.
|
|
Cut
|
Removes the current selection and stores it to the clipboard. Cut works with text when using the Code Editor and with components when using the Form Designer.
|
|
Copy
|
Copies the current selection to the clipboard. Copy works with text when using the Code Editor and with components when using the Form Designer.
|
|
Paste
|
Inserts the contents of the clipboard (previously captured using the Cut or Copy command). Paste works with text when using the Code Editor and with components when using the Form Designer.
|
|
Toggle Bookmarks
|
Sets a new bookmark or removes an existing one (using the bookmark number you select from the submenu). See Using Bookmarks.
|
|
Goto Bookmarks
|
Moves the Code Editor focus to the line marked with the bookmark whose number you select from the submenu. See Using Bookmarks.
|
|
Clear Bookmarks
|
Clears all bookmarks currently set. Only enabled when at least one bookmark is set.
|
|
Debug
|
|
Toggle Breakpoint
|
Alternately sets or clears a breakpoint on the current line. See Setting and Modifying Breakpoints.
|
|
Evaluate/Modify
|
Opens the Evaluate/Modify dialog box:
- If you right-clicked an editor token, the selected token is evaluated in the Evaluate/Modify dialog box.
- If you right-clicked whitespace, the Evaluate/Modify dialog box is empty.
|
|
Add Watch at Cursor
|
|
|
Set Next Statement
|
Changes the location of the instruction pointer (that is, the value of EIP register, indicated by  in the left gutter) to the current line in the Code Editor. Use this command when you want to skip certain source statements. When you resume program execution, execution starts at this statement. Set Next Statement is not the same as stepping through instructions; the debugger does not execute any instructions that you might skip.
Enabled only when the current source line has generated machine code (as indicated by a blue dot  in the left-hand gutter of the Code Editor).
Caution: Use this command with extreme care; it is easy to place your system in an unstable state when you skip over program instructions.
|
|
Goto Address
|
Opens the Enter Address to Position to dialog box, which allows you to enter or select a symbol, and then opens the Disassembly Pane to the associated location.
|
|
View CPU
|
Opens the CPU Windows.
- If you right-clicked a source line that generated code (a line with a blue dot ), then the selected address in the CPU stack view will be the address that corresponds to that source line.
- If you right-clicked a line without a blue dot, then the selected address will be EIP (the location of the instruction pointer, indicated by ).
|
|
Inspect
|
- If you right-clicked an editor token, the Debug Inspector opens and focuses on the selected token.
- If you right-clicked whitespace, the Inspect dialog opens, allowing you to type the expression that you want to inspect in the Debug Inspector.
|
|
Run to Cursor
|
Executes the current active program to the line containing the cursor.

|
For C++ (for 64-bit Windows, iOS, and Android target platforms):
|
Find Definition
|
Right-click a reference/symbol and select Find Definition to search for definitions in the code. If there is one definition it shows the result in the current file or opens the source file where the definition is. The line appears highlighted. For virtual methods, it opens the Find Definition pane. In this pane, you can click any entry to navigate to the source code of the selected method declaration. See Find Definition.
|
|
Find References
|
Right-click an object to find all the references. It opens the C++ Find References pane where you can click on any result to go to the source file. See Find References.

|
|
Version Control
|
If the file in the Code Editor is under a version control system, displays additional commands.
- Subversion:
- Commit opens the Commit (SVN) pane and allows you to save your changes to the SVN repository.
- Update refreshes the local working copy by pulling the latest version of the file from the SVN repository. Status messages appear in the Messages view. Best practice is to always Update your working copy before you start editing.
- Browse Repository opens the Repository Browser, displaying the SVN tree structure that contains the file you are editing.
- Revert reverts local changes to the previous revision of the file.
- Git:
- Revert reverts local changes to the previous revision of the file.
