Additional Tools 1

[Glenn9999]

I'd thought I'd ask what additional tools people use in their Delphi (and other) development. Some of the ones I've found that I've pulled out at times:

Dependency Walker - I use this one to load DLLs and EXEs and look at things such as module dependencies, but primarily for looking at what procedures/functions are available in the module that I can look into calling.

(Download link only) Eric Grange's Sampling Profiler for Delphi - profiles Delphi apps.

Resource Hacker - load up an EXE, DLL, or RES and you can look at and manipulate the resource files within them. Useful for figuring out resource names/ids in your code.

XVI32 - probably the best free hex editor I've run into.

(any other good tools that people have and use?)

ZTreeWin

My #1 utility for just about everything. For Delphi, besides viewing output, finding source and moving files, I use it for version promotion. Also has an excellent hex viewer/editor and far too many other useful functions to list here...

I'm not always doing Delphi, which is reflected in my choice of tools because they are multi-purpose.

Multi-Edit

http://www.multiedit.com/

is my editor of choice. It has great built-in support for numerous languages, a very powerful macro language, and a lot of other uses.

I don't know how anyone can program, no, how anyone can use a computer without ClipMate.

Calling this program, which is written in Delphi, a clipboard extender doesn't do justice to its capabilities. It's inexpensive, and worth every penny.

Both have free trials.

The Jedi project is a must have:

And GExperts:

And DelphiSpeedUp:

Those three are always first when I reload my environment.

Glenn, giving you a star for starting this thread.
It is a very awesome thread and I am sure many of the little programs people have pointed to will come in handy down along the line in life.
This thread is getting added to my favorites even if just for future reference (do not have time at the moment to review all of these).
