Remember the old class hierarchy posters that used to come in / Delphi?
I want all of my Delphi classes to have a complete hierarchical browser of classes, including custom ones that I created and installed on the palette, as well as third-party components. Ideally, it’s easy to search by class name (including a “full word” search, so partial matches are not counted).
I saw only two things that are approaching:
1) GExpets Class Browser - works fine, BUT DOES NOT load ALL installed components / classes, which is what I want. As far as I know, you have to import all the source blocks manually, which can be quite complicated. It also does not allow you to search for the "whole word", so sometimes a search for a class with a common "sub name" is performed forever.
2) Eagle / DevExpress CDK - it automatically downloads the complete list of classes and seems to work brilliantly, but it is used only in D7 and earlier, and it does not focus on being a cool browser as such, "inherit from" chooser.
Is there anything that does this already? If not, how difficult it would be to write an application that at least creates a binding table for self-regulation, so I could at least drop it into a database / tree component to easily view inheritance / family tree, etc.
