How to find a lost TActionList


My ActionList object has disappeared from my screen.

My Touch Screen went bonkers while I had my TActionList selected. It has sent my ActionList off to somewhere outside the bounds of the screen.

Unlike true visual controls, there is no property in the Object Inspector to set position.

How can I get the ActionList object back into view?


Solution

  • Open the form in the IDE - you need to see the form, not the code. Press ALT+F12. Now you'll see the dfm content. Search for the ActionList component. Manually set Left and Top to 5. Press ALT+F12 again.
