[DUG] Code Completion not working

[John Bird]

One possibility is if you have moved the source into a different folder from where it was under D2007, then some of the files - .dproj and others contain some hard wired path information that needs to be altered.

The ways to fix this are edit the files or delete them and allow Delphi to recreate them.

I wrote a search and replace program to search for paths and replace them - this is another option - if its any use email me and I can send it.

Also check the project options to see if there are old paths there.   

If you did not move the source to a different path then these suggestions will not apply, although the delete old non-essential files may fix it - will be similar to starting a new project.

refer to http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Delphi_File_Extensions  for a comprehensive list of delphi extensions and what stores what, there are lots in D2007 for instance, too many to remember.   It also tells you which can be deleted (the ones not to keep in source control).

I had all sorts of issues like this moving from D2006 to D2007, but mainly because I also copied the source to a new folder.

  We're currently using Delphi 2007 and have downloaded the trial version of 2010 and code completion just doesn't want to work? 

   

  Has anyone else had this problem, I saw on Quality Central that there were a few people using 2009 that had this problem. It's definitely something to do with the project (the 2007 project loaded into 2010) because if I start a new project code completion works fine. 

   

  Damn it's hard to program without it L, I think I'm going to have a look into the dproj files etc...
