Newby making a change to the IDE
« on: April 17, 2019, 04:52:31 am »
Hello,

We are moving a large project from vb6 to Lazarus in the coming months. I have become more familiar with the Object Pascal Syntax and the lazarus IDE.

The one thing I really mis is the way vb6 has the procedure list built into the editor as shown in the attached picture. I know you can press alt+g to view the list but the built in method feels more at home...

Has anyone modified the IDE to produce this functionality, and if not is this hard to do?

thanks!

Maybe:
Lazarus main menu > View > Code Explorer

There is an option called Code Explorer, and it can show a variety of info including procedures. Use the View > Code Explorer menu option in the IDE. It can be configured to your liking using its Options button.

Those guys type faster than me... :)
