C++Builder Sneak Peak #3 (aka DeXter)

Okay - this is the best demo yet from Troy Kitch (Borland). No hard dates given, but now we know the official code name for the next version of C++Builder - DeXter! Check out DeXter at BDNtv. Here's a screen dump of DexTer captured from the video.

Things to note:
  • VCL support (it's back! - sorry CBX.)
  • Code Insight (it works and in real-time!)
  • Structure Pane (new - replaces the old buggy Code Browser)
  • Project View (clean and simple - supports multiple projects)
  • Editor Enhancements including

    • change tracking bar (shows what's new as a yellow bar in the left gutter)
    • code folding (aka - collapsable code)
  • debugger
    • debug inspector (much improved)
    • local variables view (very useful)
    • tool tip expression evaluation (just hover cursor over code to evaluate variables)
    • Event log (more events than ever)
