I cannot add/change the path to libraries in Delphi 11.1 When I click on the button, the window shows for a second and disappears. I have no way to modify the paths.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem ?

enter image description here

UPDATE

Problem partially resolved. When I connect the second screen, everything works fine.

  • Have you reported this to the vendor? – David Heffernan May 07 '22 at 18:47

    You can use this external tool: https://littleearthsolutions.net/products/delphi-library-helper/ – Delphi Coder May 07 '22 at 18:49
  • @DavidHeffernan No, I haven't reported it yet – Olaf May 07 '22 at 19:53
  • Another way to do it, is to click within the path itself. This is how it worked prior to 10.3 anyway. – Freddie Bell May 08 '22 at 07:20

    Are you using any IDE plugins? If yes, remove them to ensure none of these is the cause for the problem. If it works without the plugins, re-enable them one at a time to find out which one is the culprit and report it. If it doesn't work without the plugins you should definitely report it to Embarcadero. – dummzeuch May 08 '22 at 09:16

    This appears to be the problem of showing multiple modal windows at same time. Sometimes Windows doesn't keep the correct Z order of sown modal windows especially if those modal windows also have set to Stay On Top. You can actually read more about this issue in [Form is hidden behind other forms when ShowModal is called](https://stackoverflow.com/q/1639125/3636228). I'm guessing someone at Embarcadero didn't follow the rules for working with modal forms correctly. – SilverWarior May 08 '22 at 11:52

    As a workaround you can always move your Options window to the side of the screen before clicking on the three doted button. This way the newly created modal form for editing the path won't be hidden by Options window. – SilverWarior May 08 '22 at 11:54
  • @SilverWarior I have tried to do this several times. The problem is not that one window cover another. That window just disappears. I solved the problem when I connected the monitor to the notebook and I used 2 screens. Now everything works properly. Thank you all for your help ! – Olaf May 09 '22 at 08:21
  • @Delphi Coder Your software may indeed be exactly what I need EXCEPT that the issue I'm having is installing JCL/JVCL into the Alexandra 11.3 CE. Your software uses the components I'm having issues with. A suggestion, if you are providing the source for a helper application (well done, I thank you for that) only use those components that are available in a standard Delphi install. Do not assume the user will have installed other packages. – Kevin Black Jul 19 '23 at 00:01
  • @KevinBlack that's not my software – Delphi Coder Jul 19 '23 at 05:13

    @Delphi Coder Apologies for that, you were just trying to be helpful and I appreciate that. My bad, I should have been more diligent in reviewing the author. Again, please accept my apologies. – Kevin Black Jul 21 '23 at 01:18
