Delphi: keystroke or IDE option to populate interface elements on a class

Question

I am looking for any IDE menu option, keystroke, shorcut, mouse clicks or something to populate all interface elements (methods, properties, etc) inside a class implementing it.

Are there any way to do it ?

Answer 1

There is a shortcut that will let you autocomplete your class: Ctrl + Shift + C will autocomplete your functions, procedures and properties...

example:

inside the class write "procedure myproc;" then type Ctrl+Shift+C and Delphi will create the procedure body.

if you type "property myprop:String;" and then type Ctrl+Shift+C Delphi will create the get and set functions for your property.

Another good shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Up to go to the procedure/function declaration and Ctrl+Shift+Down to go to the procedure/function implementation.

Hope that helps.

There is no such shortcut, sadly.

Answer 3

The OmniPascal plugin for Visual Studio Code does support this feature.

If you have a correct setup then you will see a green line marking all incomplete interfaces of a class. Clicking the lightbulb (or pressing CTRL+. when the cursor is placed inside the name of the interface) it will generate the code stub for this interface.
