I want to register it into the Object Repository, how to do that? Thanks for any clues.

Search the newsgroup archives for "RegisterCustomModule" to find some related threads detailing a somewhat more involved procedure that is required if your form class contains new published properties you want to have available in design-mode. -- Peter Below (TeamB) Use the newsgroup archives : http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm http://groups.google.com http://www.prolix.be Back to top Sebastian Quiles Guest Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2003 9:24 pm    Post subject: Re: How to register a TForm descendant into the Object Repos anyone knows how to register the form in the repository by code (in a package) and not by right clicking? thanks -- Sebastian Quiles Argentina Peter Below (TeamB) wrote: Quote: In article <Xns944273D2F729Fnobodyyahoocom (AT) 207 (DOT) 105.83.66>, George Wei wrote: I wrote a form which inherited from TForm.

Well, the repository data is stored in the file delphi32.dro in your Delphi BIN directory. This is an INI-style text file. Just take a look at it to figure out how the entries are stored. If you want to register a design-time package with the IDE you have to add the package to a registry key, i think HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBorlandDelphi7.0Known Packages -- Peter Below (TeamB) Use the newsgroup archives : http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm http://groups.google.com http://www.prolix.be Back to top Sebastian Quiles Guest Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2003 6:36 pm    Post subject: Re: How to register a TForm descendant into the Object Repos Ok... it works, now I have 3 forms in a hierarchy in the repository... but now I've somes problems: x) How can I enable the option "inherits" in the groupbox and disable "copy" and "use"? x) Suppose that I have a frame in that form, I get an error message telling me that the class tMyFrame is not found (just as when a component is not installed) and after that I get my form without the frame... How can I register my frame in delphi (by code) and how can I put the frame in the component pallete (just as the rightclick option) but doing it by code...

Registering a frame should go the same as a form, but i'm a bit out of my area of expertise here.
