Have you ever wished that when you double clicked an event handler that the method generated by the IDE had some comments regarding the arguments passed so you didn’t have to consult the third party vendor’s help?

What about a simple TAction.OnUpdate handler, have you ever wondered why Delphi doesn’t inject the following code?

(Sender as TAction).Enabled := ^

or since it knows the component whose handler it’s creating (in this case let’s assume it’s named actTakeAction):

actTakeAction.Enabled := ^

BTW, the ^ would be the position were the cursor would be left.  The choice as to what code was generated could be a code style preference setting.

They will direct you to http://www.cancuncalling.com/ and give you a promo code so you can actually view the information on the site. Mine was uniep1425.  They will be talking to you all the time trying to convince you to proceed to verification using the phrase “does that make sense”, where your credit card number and verbal authorization will be recorded.  Don’t DO IT!  Under Discover Cancun it says European Plan (Accomodations Only).   The site is all in flash so I can’t give you a direct URL.  If you don’t notice the European Plan, and give them your credit card # your on the hook!  An offer to good to be true usually is…..
