All,

I've been considering upgrading from d7 :) to bds 2007; however, I've
found,
in the Turbo Delphi Explorer, that the View | Component List feature is
gone.

I did some googling and found this feature is no longer supported.
Because
I am totally blind, I need the feature so I can scroll thru an accessible
list of installed components and press enter to drop the desired component
on the form. In d7, this is a windows list box and is therefore totally
accessible with my screen reader.

I've held off upgrading after d7 because the ide became more and more
inaccessible; especially the menu system.

I know that borland/codegear have address many of these inaccessibilities
and my testing with Turbo Delphi Explorer (bds 2006) has found it to be
more
accessible (in some ways) then d7.

Unfortunately, without View | Component List, the ide is too difficult to
use.

Mike



I am using the free compBar by dageek. It is always a key stroke away (ALT+F9)
and it show a complete list with all the components installed. I do not know if
it will be any easier for you than the default component pallete though.

Yannis.
