Any tool to suggest unit reference automatically for Delphi 2010?

Question

MS Visual Studio has a great feature: it automatically suggests the units to add in using clause when you typing the code with refrences to absent standard classes.

Is there any 3-rd party tool to implement similar feature for Delphi?

I'm tired to add all those SysUtils, Windows, Messages etc in each new unit.

Answer 1

If the unit which contains the reference is not yet in the uses list, this is how I save many manual steps:

• right-click on the underlined (error-insighted) text
• choose “Refactoring | Find Unit…“.

A dialog will present the available unit which contains the unknown type or symbol, and a mouse click adds the selected unit to the uses list of the current file.

Answer 2

CNPack Input Helper can sugest and autocomplete units (sorry for another answer, but I can't comment other).

CNPack unfortunately don't auto-add units from place of code input but you can:

• Copy a word from cursor place (CNPack->Editor enchancements->Tabset/Button->Clipboard operations->Cut/copy token...).
• Eventually search this word in source files (grep) to identify unit.
• Use CNPack->Toggle Uses/Include Field (Ctrl+u) and start typing and use CNPack->Input Helper sugestion/autocompletion, or IDE/GExperts/CNPack use unit future
• Back to place of code edition
