IDE Insight quit working

Question

At some point, my IDE Insight function stopped working. I have checked both the XE5 and XE6 versions that I have on my system and neither work, so it must be environmental.

When I click on the menu item, nothing pops up. There is no error given, just no IDE Insert screen. The same results happen when using the shortcut.

I am running Windows 7, Delphi Professional XE5 and XE6.

Anyone know how to fix this?

+1 for running into the same trap as almost everyone with XE5 and XE6 because the edit in the toolbar is so subtle. :) – Kibler

Answer 1

The IDE Insight window was removed in XE5. Instead, there's an edit box top right of the screen (Ctrl+. gives it the focus) that you type into and get a dropdown list of commands to pick from in response.

This is documented in What's New in Delphi and C++Builder XE5.
