 |
|
ENV : Delphi 7
Hi I have a project with quite a few forms, all derived from TForm.
What I would like to do is create a TBaseForm (derived from TForm),
put some common functionality in it, and have all my other forms
derive from TBaseForm rather than TForm.
I've tried to do this by simply using a text editor (outside of
Delphi) to change the class of the form to TBaseForm, but this seems
to have no effect (it even compiles ok, but doesn't inherit the
"middle" form).
How can I do this without building all my forms from the gound up.
Cheers,
Phil.

I usually create the form required then save it in the repository (right
click on the form) - once there, you can inherit from that each time you
wish to use a new form - just select FILE | NEW | OTHER then select the
form. The various options such as inheritance are shown as radio buttons at
the bottom of the selection.
