You guys waiting then probably don't want to know mine arrived I think last
Friday (or this Monday) (D2006 Pro)
The problem with the missing form was that I haven't installed a simple
component TFindFile - now I have to work out how to do that.
I quite like the VCL embedded form, being able to use the Tab or F12 to
switch is nice, will experiment.
Loaded one of my medium size projects and it worked first time. However a
lot of compiler hints and warnings I didn't get before, so now should go and
clean some code - sigh. And a couple of deprecated functions - I was using
FileAge to get the datetime of the program exe file.....so now have to look
for the new way to do it...
itemp:=fileage(jkblAppname);
jkblAppDate:='(unknown)';
if itemp>0 then
begin
dttemp:=FileDatetoDateTime(itemp);
jkblAppDate:=formatDateTime('dd mmm yyyy hh:nn:ss',dttemp);
end;
Hint - if like me you have copied the source to another folder to keep the
D2006 source separate go into Project Options and change the output folder
for units and DCU's before you compile....it'll stick them in your old
version folder otherwise...

Unfortunately that is a bug. You need to resize if manually.

The help is better than d2005 but still needs to be improved dramatically.

Press F12. Although you might want to switch off the embedded form designer
(there is an option on the VCL Designer option page in Tools
| Options). There is also a tabpage for the designer at the bottom of
the code editor.

It is great. Best delphi I've used. (but really the latest version should be
the best!)

Not sure what you mean but you might want to drop an XPManifest component
onto the form so it is themed. Is that it?
I had also blogged about a couple of D2006 features (they are the posts with
D2006 in the subject).
