When you automatically check “Automatically close on successful compile” and the compiler progress disappears…
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/03/13
Every once in a while I manage to check “Automatically close on successful compile” during compilation, the compiler progress disappears, and I loose my clue if compilation ended or not.
This is how to fix it:
- find the registry portion of your Delphi version, under either of these
– HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\#.0
– HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CodeGear\BDS\#.0
– HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\#.0
Where #.0 is your version number from this Delphi Release Dates page. - Under the key “Compiling”, find the string value named “Auto Close Progress Dialog” and change it from “True” to “False”

Is there a way to make that checkbox entirely invisible? I also find accidental clicks on it to be an annoyance.

This seems to be a case for Andy. :-) He already added a progressbar to that dialog, so he probably can easily remove that checkbox, too.

Even simpler – make a syntactical error in the code. Compile. Compiler window will stay active saying “There are errors”. Uncheck the “Automatically close …” checkbox. Correct the syntactical error. Done.

Yep!
This problem was on my blog a long while ago. I guess I was mistaken when thinking Jeroen has been reading my blog! lol

Somehow I missed your blog post. I tried to find it now, but somehow https://www.google.com/search?q=progress+site%3Awww.objectmethodology.com%2Fblog.html reveals nothing.

If I accidentally check this checkbox I open a project that needs “enough” time to build. While it builds I can uncheck the box and am done.
