I'm writing a property editor for Delphi and I would like it to show up on the correct screen for multi-monitor support. In order to position it, I would like a reference to the "main" form for the Delphi IDE. I've tried using the Application's MainForm property, and the Application object itself, but neither seems to work. I believe this is because the MainForm is actually the hidden TApplication instance referenced in this article by Nathanial Woolls (search for "application form"): http://www.installationexcellence.com/articles/VistaWithDelphi/Original/Index.html Does anyone know how to get

I currently use TextMate for all my Rails development, and I like it very much, but I wonder if I'm missing anything by not using an IDE. Has anyone switched from using TextMate or another powerful text editor to a Ruby IDE? Am I missing anything? JetBrains, the people who created the legendary IDEA IDE for Java, have RubyMine in beta. DHH has mentioned it, so it must be good! TextMate is king for Development on Mac, it's not too bloated and has so many good bundles made by the developers that use those particular languages. Can't be beat in my opinion. I think IntelliJ/RubyMine is pretty good

I just upgraded my NetBeans from 7.3 Beta 2 to 7.3 RC1. In Beta 2 I could only exclude full folders (with the php project type). To ignore specific files I edited the project.properties file. This greatly helped me to ignore multiple versions of included libraries. In RC1 we have the Html5 project type. I no longer find any option to ignore files, and adding ignore.path to the project.properties no longer seem to do the trick for me. So my question is, is there a way to ignore files with the Html 5 project type? If so, how? If not, is my only way of solving this to move the library sources

Anyone got any experience of teams doing pair programming where there is a mixed IDE environment? I'm a long time IntelliJ user, others use Eclipse, which you may have heard of. In my mind pair programming involves a lot of passing the keyboard between the programmers. But every time I get the keyboard I grind to a halt as I don't know to do anything anymore. (It's like suddenly I'm an idiot!) Now I could, probably should, learn my way round Eclipse. (Not starting a holy war here about relative merits.) But I wonder if anyone else has got an opinion? I have not done this in a multi-IDE
