Full Screen Editor in Delphi 2007 IDE#

Alfonso, a member of the Delphi-PRAXiS has seen an undocumented feature in an presentation and shared it with the community. Since many of you don't read the German forum or may just miss it in the wealth of information flowing through the Delphi-PRAXiS, here is a very nice registry hack.

Navigate to your registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\Editor] and create a string entry with the name Zoom and the Value Zoom.

Now, when double clicking on the tab of the editor it will go to the full width of your screen. Nice feature!

Sorry that I write only rarely lately, but this is due to me doing lots of web development during the last weeks and will change after the holiday season, again.

This little hack couldn't have come in a better timing for me! I was firing the browser to search for an easy way to set the editor to full screen (after searching the help file and finding nothing useful), and what do I see in my iGoogle Reader CSS applet? This article!

Thanks, I will DEFINITELY give it a try!

This very cool feature was mentioned by a CodeGear employee in september: http://blogs.codegear.com/dclegg/2007/09/20/5 It also talks about SuperZoom to zoom even further

You can get this feature even on Delphi 6, if you installed CnWizards.

Allen Bauer provided some more details on this. Keep in mind that it's a proof of concept feature, so it might not always behave as expected.
