You're totally wrong.
The IDEs I was making in VB6 in the 90s I'm making about twice as quick in Visual Studio 2022 in C# with WinForms.
In fact, quicker because I'm getting GPT to write any gnarly code I need -- like I just asked it if it was possible to add a tooltip to a ListBox and it churned out exactly the code I need, something I would have spent a bunch of time figuring out on my own.
- ant6n 3y agoIn Delphi u didn’t need any code to add a tooltip to a component - just add it as a property in the inspector. U can do it in code if you want, but it’s easy to do since u see the available properties in the inspector.
- jcelerier 3y agoThat's how it works today in Qt Creator too
- ygra 3y agoI guess that was about tooltips for the listbox items, because just a tooltip for a component would be the same with Windows Forms by just setting a property in the properties panel (granted, it's basically an ancient form of attached property that uses a separate tooltip component, but the UI streamlines this.
- qingcharles 3y agoIt's the same in WinForms, my example was bad as I was trying to do something "unsupported" by the base objects :)
- wruza 3y agoI never used VS/C#, but can you drop a TDBGrid connected to a TDataset and then just resize autoloaded columns to your taste? Discussing tooltips on a listbox in RADs is like discussing colors of pencils in a hi-tech workshop. >>Web and mobile development (which I have done all 3) are significantly slower The above will probably take half a day in web development (assuming an experienced developer), so no, they aren't "totally wrong" at all.
