I was about to refute this but I just found an instance that supports your statement. Generally, the focus stays put in the "Name" property. However, I have found that seemingly randomly while cycling through components, focus will change to the top property. Sometimes focusing on another component will return the focus to the Name property, but mostly it will remain at the top property.

One more pain.When adding the new component, focus changes to caption or something else. It used to be Name which is where I want it.

There is still a problem though. In D7 I used to be able to focus on the property then cycle through the controls and the inspector would stay still. Now, it inevitably loses track. Havnt reported it yet. Steve Peacocke wrote: Thanks Miles, I have looked on that menu before, but didn't click to the "Arrange" sub-menu. That's much better.

Re: [DUG] Delphi's Object Inspector. Finding a property in D2007
There are a number of keyboard shortcuts you may not be aware of. Sebastian blogged about them a while ago (they have been in Delphi since the year . I think) http://msohn.blogspot.com/2007/03/tips-and-tricks-keyboard-navigation-in.html Why Borland/CodeGear decided to default the view to categories is beyond me. What is funny is that if you use ECO and arrange by name many property names are duplicated - oh and they aren't the same property. Nice design that ;-) On 9/5/07, Steve Peacocke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I came directly from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2007.

Delphi has gone away from listing VCL properties in alphabetical order and listed them instead in group order where it takes me forever to find the property I am after.

Re: [DUG] Delphi's Object Inspector. Finding a property in D2007
Hi I like the old Alpha order as well. You can change the setting by right clicking, choosing arrange and 'by Name'. Mine defaults to by name now (not sure if this is where I set it though).
