We have a corporate environment with 20 developers, so we use custom wizards to create new projects, forms and units meeting our corporate standards. In D5, when a new form is selected from the menu, it is automatically our standard custom form. This was done in the repository file delphi32.dro: [MyCompany.FormWizard] Type=FormExpert Page=MyCompany DefaultMainForm=1 DefaultNewForm=1 Is this possible in Delphi 2006 and how can we do this? Thanks in advance, Bas Groot Back to top Christian Wilkerson Guest Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 6:56 am    Post subject: Re: Default main form and default new form in Delphi 2006 I found that delphi32.dro file for Delphi 7. But for Delphi 2006, or at least BDS 4.0, I couldn't find anything. However, there is a registry entry that looked promising. Ultimately, if you guys have 20 developers, that's alot of money that I think CodeGear would be interested in getting. And a great reason for them to answer this question. CodeGear, are you listening? Mr. Hodges? DavidI? -Christian "Bas Groot" <bas.groot (AT) myserver (DOT) invalid> wrote in message news:456867ea$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Hi, Thank you for your answer. The BorlandStudioRepository.xml replaces the Delphi32.dro in BDS. We created a category in it for our custom forms and wizards, visible in the File - New dialog. This all works fine. But we want to replace the default MainForm by our own custom form. And this seems to be more complicated.

Perhaps as a workaround you could write a project creator wizard which would create the project with your form as the main form.

A file creator would be more appropriate. Thanks for your answers. We are working on those wizards (both new project, new edit-form, new datamodule, etc). But is was nice to start them by default, like D5 did. An idea for a future version of Delphi? Reimplementing the start-wizard-by-default-mainform option.

My impression was that it would be a problem to make the default project creator use the custom module creator. That's why I suggested a custom project creator. But I haven't tried it, perhaps your suggestion would work.
