When Delphi is missing the `ActiveX` items in the `File -> New` dialog
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/29
Marco Cantú posted the below solution when ActiveX is missing in your File -> New dialog which I’ve paraphrased:
OK, you can try this.
- Close RAD Studio/Delphi.
- Open the registry editor.
- Under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER, open theKnown IDE Packages\Delphi— that is something likeHKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\18.0\Known IDE Packages\Delphi—- Search for the
delphicompro240.bpl, entry- Edit it: remove the
__(double-underscore) pre-pended to the value(Untitled). In other word, change “__(Untitled)” into “(Untitled)“.- Close registry editor.
- Open the IDE.
I ran it it recently and was glad this worked.
