Feature Req: Jump to location in code

Post by TheEdge »

G'Day,

- madExcept already does a great job of doing a strack trace and determining the line number(s) that an exception occured on.
- What would be great is if the exception strack trace had hyperlinks that allowed you to click on the offending line number / method and jump to that location within the IDE

Try the viewer:

It does exactly what you're asking for.

M,

Not sure if I am missing something (have not looked at the source yet) but what I want is the default exception dialog that you pop up to have hyperlinks in it off the stack trace it contains.

Hmmmm... That would be possible, I guess. But it would work only on the dev machine, of course. And only, if Delphi is already running and has the right project loaded.

Yes all of that would be true. If would make debugging a whole lot easier as a single click would be all that is required instead of:

- Find unit to open
- Go to specific line number
