It's similar to me not seeing the point of the various "Dialog" (file open,
font select, color select etc) components on the component palette - it's
equally easy using them directly in code when needed. There is no advantage
of having design time support for those - in fact it just uses extra memory
when you do.
I don't agree. I use the IDE to the fullest - it is RAD after all.
But use cases vary.
Just curious and a bit off-topic I guess, but is there some advantage to
have the various dialog components dropped on a form at design time? As I
said, I think it just takes up memory while not being used, but honestly
can't think of a single advantage it gives.
The only advantage that I am aware of (at least in Delphi): you can
execute the dialog from within the IDE (although I've never used it up
until just now ^^).
Right click on the dialog -> test dialog
