Switching between IDE and running Form problem

Hello,

When using the IDE and running my scripts in it if I maximize the running Form it hides the IDE window so now it becomes tough for me to debug the code in the IDE.

How to show the Form as a separate taskbar button?

Thanks,

You could always run the application from outside the IDE (just run it from windows) then, from IDE, "attach to process"  (from Run menu item) - check out:

Hello,

I think you have misunderstood my problem. I am not talking about Delphi's IDE here.

I am using Scripter's IDE to run a script written in the IDE. Here what happens is that the IDE's window/interface gets hidden below the Scripts created window if the scripted created window is maximized.

To understand what I am saying please run the compiled sample/demo IDE.

Now press F9 to run the default empty project created by the IDE.

In the window shown maximize it and you will understand as to what I am saying.

Because of this problem it becomes impossible to debug code as the IDE's interface never comes up or above the scripts form.

So in short it be very difficult to easily switch between the Scripter's IDE and the Window created by the Scripter.

And if we put a break point in Scripter's code, the Scripter stops execution at that point and shows the IDE interface but in the IDE you will observe that the Run button is enabled which according to me should be disabled by default. If the Run button is enabled the pressing it when the IDE is in break state it seems to restart another instance of the script which is totally wrong as per my thinking.

Note that both form and IDE are in the same application. That's inherent on how the Delphi (Windows?) application works. We can add a TIDEDialog.ShowInTaskBar property to show the IDE form in task bar if that helps. Please contact us directly to get a patch that allows that and test if it fits your needs.
