Keyboard shortcuts

rbuser

Hi All,
in my Version of RB (11.05 for Delphi 2006) the keyboard shortcuts to cut,
copy, paste etc. do not work in the designer. In 7.04 for Delphi 7 they
work just fine (on the same machine). Is there anything that can be done
about that?

Regards,
Walter

Hi Walter,

In my testing at designtime and runtime with RB 11.05 and Delphi 2006, the
cut, copy, paste keyboard shortcuts function as expected. Have you tested
this at runtime? You may have a corrupt installation. Take a look at the
following article on cleaning a corrupt installation and re-install.

??Hi Nico,

I followed the instruction you gave in your link, but to no effect. The
shortcuts work at designtime, but not, and that for me is much more
important (my customers are complaining), not at runtime.

Walter

As a baseline test run the Demos\EndUser\Report Explorer example. Access the
designer and add a couple of Labels to the workspace. 2. When the workspace
has focuse the keyboard shortcuts should work.

There are other controls on the Designer - such as the object inspector, the
edit toolbar that can gain focus. You can click on the workspace with the
mouse to give it focus.

You may have third party or custom code that is pre-empting the focus and
not allowing the workspace to receive the key strokes.

I removed all third party components, but with no effect. The workspace
does receive key strokes, because <del>, <ctrl><up>, <ctrl><down> etc., do
work.

The following code snippet allways shows 'TppWorkspace':

procedure TSchildExplorer.DesignerSelectionChanged(
Components: TppDesignerSelectionList);
begin
if Designer.Visible then
ShowMessage(Screen.ActiveControl.ClassName);
end;

Hi,
some more tests showed that none of the keyboard shortcuts of the
Edit-Menu works.

Edit:
Hi,
some more tests showed that none of the keyboard shortcuts of any
Menu works. The only reason I can think of ist that I use the
TB2000-Components in my application. Could that lead to a conflict? It
certainly works perfectly allright in an application using Delphi 7 and RB
7.04.

Walter

I am unclear whether you performed the baseline test I mentioned.

I did, and it works.

Hi,

in the meantime I did some more testing. The Results are interesting, but
I still do not know how to get the shortcuts to work.

In my original appliction the report-management is called via a (JVCL)
Plugin (Dll). When I call the Designer via the Report-Explorer in the
plugin, the shortcuts do not work. In a test-application, which calls the
Explorer (and subsequently the designer) directly, they do work.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Walter
