The new Delphi 2010 and C++Builder 2010 bring a ton of new features in all areas including IDE, Compiler, RTL, VCL, Database and DataSnap. It is probably the easiest to enumerate countless new IDE usability features like IDE Insight, source code formatter, thread debugging, debug visualizers, new Open Tools API and others.
These are little productivity improvements that Delphi and C++Builder developer will enjoy in every day coding and using the product. There are some really nice Object Inspector improvements discussed in blog post like checkboxes for boolean properties, date picker for datetime properties, improvements in "Action" property editor.
I like the new area at the bottom of the Object Inspector. This is new "verbs" area where you can access property editors of a selected component.
If you right-click on a component on a form, the first part of the context menu contains all registered component editors. In the case of the TListView component there are three component editors: "Columns Editor", "Items Editor" and introduced in Delphi 2009 "Groups Editor".
Now these component editors are also available from the "verbs" area at the bottom of the Object Inspector. This is similar to what we had in the past in the Delphi for .NET IDE personality. We can also see the name of the currently selected property.

ok, here is the real question for me:
can I develop Windows mobile applications?
That’s an awesome feature. I am forever hunting for exactly those options. Nice.
Hi…Sir!!I new here…can i get the new Version of Delphi with Free!!^__^
@basket: really dumb behaviour to pollute a blog with really unrelated questions, go away!
very nice features I can wait to use 2010 IDE, BTW basket f@&k off!
@basket, this is a very good question. There is more to computing then Windows and PC hardware out there. Neither Delphi not Delphi Prism are currently supporting .NET CF and this seems to be currently the only option for Windows mobile applications. According to Michael Swindell in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOyoHiSb1zs we are currently looking in continuing supporting Windows, doing more Delphi Natural Input like voice recognition, Max and Linux versions of Delphi, Win64 and in a long term moving to a non-Intel platforms. Most mobile devices are powered by non-Intel chips, so there is a potential for Delphi native apps for mobile devices in future.
People like basket are right, we are tried of hearing Delphi muilti platform soon, Delphi 64bit coming soon, and the updates we are getting are just IDE feature enhancements. The real RD for pascal is being done by the Lazarus Project. You would think as a corporate product would be ahead of a opensource project. Don’t get me wrong RadStudio is awesome, and ahead of Visual Studio, but no in language features, and it’s starting to show.
Pawel.
Is .NET CF a really one option? Since I think it is also possible to do in pure C++?
Why not create a wrapper for C++ API ?
Regards.
wow, I didn’t know the Delphi community has such rude people. Hopefully they are just isolated cases.
On the other hand; thank you very much for the rest of you who provided such intelligent and informative answers.
Mobile apps are certainly a good share of market and this portion of market is increasing more than any others.
Looking forward for D64 then.
Is it possible to hide the "verbs" area permanently? There is more need for showing as much object properties as possible on the screen at once, than showing the verbs area that is barely used (which is only an alternative to the right-click menu).
@basket Actually you are the rude one, by attempting to take over a thread with unrelated questions. That’s just plain disrespectful to the original author and everyone else. Now go away.
I agree with Slava, how do you hide the verb area ta the bottom of the Objects Inspector.
i’m tired of verbs area too, how to hide him?
