I am using Delphi 2007 / XE with AQTime 6. I wrote a test application that create few TButton instances. I have turn on necessary compiling and linking switches to make it work with AQTime.

When I attempt to run the application in AQTime with performance profiler, the VCL / RTL classes aren't show in profiling. Can AQTime performance profile VCL / RTL classes?

The following is answer from Alex of SmartBear (original post: http://smartbear.com/forums/f59/t46450/can-performance-profiler-profile-vcl-source):

By default, AQtime excludes VCL code from profiling. To profile VCL code, you need to disable this option: Options | Options... | General | General Preferences | Exclude standard source files

Please note that complete support for RAD Studio XE was implemented only in AQtime 7. I have just checked, and AQtime 6 can profile the VCL code of an XE application just fine, but the source code editor panel may show an incorrect source code snippet for a routine. So, it is best to use version 7 of AQtime for RAD Studio XE applications profiling.

Probably AQTime needs VCL source code, but doesn't know where to find it. I think somewhere in the AQTime there was an ability to specify additional paths to sources.
