a problem with Ctrl-Shift-C in Delphi 5 std

[Thomas Bladh]

Hi,

I have problem that's been bugging me for some time and I was hoping that
someone on this forum would know how to solve it.

Ctrl-Shift-C has for some reason stopped working. When I press the key
combination absolutely nothing happens, no error messages, nothing. I have a
feeling that this is either a very simple thing to solve or a very hard one,
but I just can't figure it out.

Btw: I have tried to uninstall Delphi, manually clear all delphi related
registry fields and manually delete what was left of the Borland directory
but when I reinstalled it I still had the same problem.

Anyone have an idea what causes this?

bet you just started using ICQ. Got to the Preferences dialog and select the
Contact List|Shortcuts tab. Uncheck "Activate ICQ Keyboard Shortcuts" and the
problem should go away.

I noticed that, but it was only a problem when ICQ was running so I used to
shut it down when I was working. When Ctrl-Shift-C stopped working entirely
I suspected ICQ so I promptly unistalled it (who needs a social life when
you can work with Delphi) but it still didn't work.

Perhaps I should try reinstalling ICQ and following your instructions
(stranger things have happened). :)

Btw: Thanks for the reply.

anything else running in the sys tray that might be grabbing keystrokes?

Ralph,

The only icon visible in the systray is the standard 'sound settings' icon.
I have also shut down everything non-essential running in the background
(I'm using Win2000).

To anyone viewing this thread:

Is there anyone who knows exactly which registry setting corresponds to the
Ctrl-Shift-C key combination. I found a suspicious key
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\5.0\Class Completion) and it is
empty on my system. If anyone could check the same registry key on their
system and tell me what it contains I would very much appreciate it.

Again, thanks for the input...

here's what I have there:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\5.0\Class Completion]
"Finish properties"="-1"
"Complete navigation"="-1"
"Add interface methods"="0"


Ciao, Mike

Thanks for the info (even though I still cant seem to make it work).

I'm beginning to think that my problem might have something to do with the
fact that I bought and installed Delphi 5 Standard after uninstalling Delphi
5
Professional. (I had to return the copy I had been assigned for a project).
I
naturally assumed that this class completion functionality would be present
in the Standard edition also.

Is there anyone out there with Delphi 5 Standard and functional class
completion
(Ctrl-Shift-C) or is Delphi 5 Standard simply lacking this functionality.
