Does ModelMaker Code Explorer integrate with Delphi 2005 / Delphi 2006 / Delphi 2007?

Interaction with the VCL.NET and .NET form designers in is a little more restricted than with the Win32 form designer as used in Delphi 5-7 and Delphi 2005-2007 Win32. Check the user manual for details.

Why does Global History not work? (MMX 5 and older)

The global history method sampler requires the Explorer window to be visible (and in newer IDEs: visible and unpinned). If you for example have the explorer window invisible (or pinned) in a debug layout, the history sampler won't pick up your navigation traces.

Applies to MMX 5 and older. In MMX 6 the method sampler is decoupled from the Explorer window.

Why does ModelMaker Code Explorer use Alt+Key keyboard shortcuts (Delphi 5/6)?

A lot of time was spend on defining the default shortcuts. The Delphi 5/6 default shortcuts for Add Field/Method/Property/Event are set to Alt+F/M/P/E because there's no other consistent combination of [Ctrl,Shift,Alt] modifiers for F,M, P and E that work in those Delphi IDEs.

If you wish, you can customize the keyboard shortcuts with the Keybindings tab in the Properties dialog. Note: you'll see that in Delphi 5 and Delphi 6 there are lots of key combinations that simply do not work without a reason.

Tip: Although Alt+F is assigned to Add Field, you can still access the main File Menu with Alt F if you press the Alt key, release it and then press F.
