Using Delphi 2007

In previous versions of Delphi I could navigate to function 
declarations using Ctrl-Click on the instance, or I could 
Ctrl-Click on an Interface declaration to navigate to the 
Implementation.  I could also Ctrl-Click on the 
Implementation declaration to go back and forth between 
Interface and Implementation.

Now it seems that using Find Declaration to navigate between 
implemenation and interface declarations of a procedure no 
longer works.  What was put in its place, and where do I 
find that in the documentation?

Thanks,
Dan

I still can (using the December update, which is still a funny
"version" number).

As soon as you press Ctrl and hover the mouse over an item it should
turn blue/underlined (assuming default colour scheme).

Does Ctrl+Shift+ArrowUp/ArrowDown still function for you?

I don't think I've installed that yet (I can't remember what 
I installed last).  I've been in the middle of some work and 
didn't want to disturb the systems.  Maybe this weekend. 
Good to know that still works.

Yes, that works and it's exactly what I want to do... I 
didn't know it was there.

Now off to find it in the documentation to see what else I 
don't know about.

Thanks!

Be careful, the more you learn, the less you know ;-)

No kidding.  I found the page listing the default key 
mappings (again).  Sheesh.  No way to remember all that.  I 
guess I'll have to write 'em on the back of my hands.

Interestingly I find that the Ctrl-Shift-UpArrow and 
Ctrl-Shift-Downarrow have the same description text.  They 
also seem to do exactly the same thing.  I thought one was 
the inverse of the other but that doesn't seem to be the 
case.  Makes you wonder why they are two different 
keystrokes.

I have given up on remembering all the available hotkeys. I am using a
mouse :)
(just right-click every now and then, and you'll see what's possible)

Thanks Tiedo

That's what I'd  been doing on most things, but this one 
(find declaration) wasn't working even with the mouse menu. 
It would always take me to the interface declaration, even 
if that's where I was.

I downloaded the latest patch and the mouse declaration now 
works, even with the mouse.

Well, if the versions are called after years, why shouldn't the updates
be called after months? <g>

Of course you can refer to it by the build number, but I find December
much easier to remember. <g>

Good point :) Although I liked the term D7.1 much better then this
longish "CRS2007 Delphi Win 32 R2 (or was it Update 3) with December
update" (just talking about the version number, nothing else).

True, recently I noticed somebody talking about 10.0.2558.35231 and
looked at my own version of BDS2006 at home, it said 10.0.2288.42451.
Oh man, I'm behind, but what update did I miss ?-)  (Hint HotFix 12).

So in short I'm not a big fan of build numbers also, I would prefer
something like CRS2007 SP4.

Hmm, a product called 2007 with a December update, what are the chances
of another update and what will it be called? <g>

The update must not necessarily come in the same year as the product
was released.

That sounds like a PC answer ;-)
