- This file describes the entries in DELPHI.INI which do not appear
- in the Delphi environment as customizable options.
-
- Following the reference section is a guide to adding vendor
- specific information to DELPHI.INI.
-
-
- Section: [Globals]
- ------------------
-
- PrivateDir=
-
- This item controls where Delphi both creates and locates
- selected files, such as the menu template file (DELPHI.DMT),
- etc. If you are running Delphi from a read-only directory (or
- from a CD-ROM) this item should be set to a writable directory,
- either on a network or local drive. This item should contain a
- fully qualified path, including the drive letter.
-
-
- HintColor=
-
- This item controls the color of the fly-by hint window for the
- Delphi IDE. The value may be a decimal or hex constant, or one
- of the symbolic color constants defined in VCL (e.g. clCyan).
- Note that the text in the hint window is painted using
- clWindowText.
-
- PropValueColor=
-
- This item controls the color of the text in the right-hand
- (value) pane of the Object Inspector. The value may be a
- decimal or hex constant, or one of the symbolic color constants
- defined in VCL (e.g. clCyan).
-
-
- Section: [FormDesign]
- ---------------------
-
- DefaultFont=
-
- This item controls the default font for new forms. Enter the
- name of the font, the font size, and optionally the style of
- the font, each separated by commas. (Supported font styles are
- "bold" and "italic.") E.g:
-
- DefaultFont=MS Sans Serif, 8, bold, italic
-
-
- Section: [Debugging]
- --------------------
-
- NoResetWarning=
-
- Set to 1 to prevent Delphi from presenting a warning message
- when Program Reset is selected.
-
-
- Section: [Gallery]
- ------------------
-
- BaseDir=
-
- Points to the directory where Delphi attempts to find Gallery
- files. To share a gallery directory with other users, set this
- item to point to (e.g.) a shared network directory. This item
- should contain a fully qualified path, including the drive
- letter.
-
-
- Section: [Editor]
- -----------------
-
- DefaultWidth=
- DefaultHeight=
-
- These two items, if present, control the default width and
- height of the Delphi's Code Editor window when created.
- Although Delphi does not update these values, it does read them
- each time a Code Editor is created.
-
-
- Section: [Version Control]
- --------------------------
-
- VCSManager=
-
- This item specifies the fully qualified path of a Version
- Control manager DLL. Delphi Client/Server, which includes team
- support, supplies a Version Control manager by the name
- STDVCS.DLL, located in the \BIN directory. E.g:
-
- VCSManager=c:\delphi\bin\stdvcs.dll
-
-
- Section: [Experts]
- ------------------
-
- ????=
-
- The Experts section lists the Experts which Delphi will attempt
- to load and initialize upon startup. Any value may be used on
- the left of the equals sign, as the item name is not
- interpreted. Borland recommends using a combination of the
- vendor name and the product name. E.g:
-
- [Experts]
- ComponentWare.CommExpert=c:\delphi\cware\commexpt.dll
- CodeFast.TheExpert=c:\delphi\codefast\codefast.dll
-
-
-
- Adding vendor-specific information to DELPHI.INI
- ------------------------------------------------
- When adding 3rd party information to DELPHI.INI, Borland
- recommends adding the information in sections which are named
- using a combination of the vendor name and the desired name
- of the section. For example, if a company named CodeFast
- intended to store information in DELPHI.INI, the following naming
- would be appropriate:
-
-
- [CodeFast.DesignInfo]
- LastDesigner=1
- NextDesigner=0
-
- [CodeFast.MetaTable]
- TableName=c:\meta\first.mtb
