Compile all projects hotkey

Question

Hello,

I have two projects in a project group that share same units(mostly all).I use both projects in order to test something I've written.

The problem: When I change a unit that is used by both projects and run the current project,the other one uses the old code in that unit(because its not compiled).

The only possibility I know to compile all projects is via the system menu(Projects->Build all projects).

Currently,when one of the projects is ran(with the delphi debugger),the other project's executable is executed,but not compiled.

How do I compile both projects with a hotkey(like Shift+F9 for one project)?

Answer 1

I don't know about any hotkey for that, but you can easily add a button to your toolbar that will do this with one click.

Customizing the toolbar can be invoked via the toolbar's context menu. In the command page search for the corresponding action in the project section and drag it to a convenient place.

Answer 2

Install GExperts and assign a hotkey of your choice to the IDE menu item.

Answer 3

Yeah, Shift+F9 really is convenient.

There isn't a single key sequence to compile all projects in the current project group, but you can get at the menu option by using Alt+P+U
