Generally, Delphi has a built-in the GUID generator (Ctrl+Shift+G shortcut), but it is not available from the menu. After installation of some IDE wizards/experts (eg. JEDI VCS), this shortcut is sometimes automatically overwritten by another function, and to use the built-in GUID generator, it is necessary to reconfigure the keyboard shortcuts of the IDE.

You can also add console or GUI version of the GUID Generator to the IDE tools:

  1. Select menu Tools -> Configure Tools..., then click the Add... button.
  2. In the Tool Properties window, in the Program edit, enter the full path to GuidGen.exe (console) or GuidGenW.exe (GUI version) file.
  3. Enter some description in the Title field, eg. GUID Generator (Copies GUID to the clipboard).
  4. For console version, as Parameters, enter: --count=1 --format=Delphi --copy
    For GUI version: --noload --nosave --reset -c 1 -f Delphi -cp --left=-1000 --close
  5. Click OK, Close.

Now, when you will need the GUID (interface identifier), select from the Tools menu GUID Generator item and press Ctrl+V in the source editor.
