For Delphi IDE, Is there any tool/expert to know the name of the function where the cursor is, without scrolling the code editor?

I never used it personally, but CodeRush for Delphi might be the tool you are looking for (on the linked page search for "breadcrumb").

CodeRush is only available up to Delphi 7.

Castalia is the tool you want, for all IDE's including the post-Delphi 7 versions. Castalia at TwoDesk

Thanks. I tried it, it works nicely for Delphi personality. Do you know such a tool for C++Builder personality of post-Delphi 7 versions?

The Structure Pane provides this information when a code window is open.

I move cursor up and down, from one procedure to another on the code window, but nothing changes on the Structure Pane. I don't need to look at the list of procedures and move to selected, I want to know the name of the current procedure.

Funny, nobody mentioned GExperts - that's a free addon for Delphi, works flawlessly with all editions from Personal to Architect. And has a lot useful stuff in it. Personally I don't even touch Delphi if there's no GExperts installed - but that's me :D

I use GExperts, but It doesn't provide such a functionality.
