How to make the Messages panel to disappear after I successfully compile a project?

Question

In Delphi XE, how to make the Messages panel to disappear after I successfully compile a project? That was the default behavior in Delphi 7. In Delphi XE it says 'success' and it leaves that box open.

Answer 1

In XE, Messages is not a message box but a dockable window and as such it won't disappear automatically.

Workaround: Close the Messages window and save the desktop (click on the button next to the Classic Undocked in the toolbar). After each recompile you can then reselect saved desktop by clicking into drop-down list with desktop name (Classic Undocked) and pressing Enter on the keyboard.
