I need to create a custom designer for TComponent descendant in BDS 2006. I suppose theese interfaces are for embedded designer support? Thanks.

Standard ICustomDesignForm implementation will always float as a separate form and Delphi creates an empty Designer Tab. Is there a way to access this tab's surface/control and host(parent) a custom design form into it ? I would be happy with a hack if there's no nice way to do it. It's quite sad that such powerful features of Delphi are not documented. Thanks, Davor.

In case it helps, you can see an example of custom designers for a form class in some tools like the TNT Unicode controls: http://www.yunqa.de/delphi/tntunicodecontrols/ I don't know the exact details - you'll need to download that component set and investigate.

Have you seen this? http://tondrej.blogspot.com/2006/11/delphisvn-for-delphi-7.html It shows a new Subversion tab for D7 and other posts contain screenshots of BDS2006 with that extra tab. Or is that something different? -- Sebastian Modersohn http://msohn.blogspot.com Back to top Frenk Guest Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 6:20 pm    Post subject: Re: IHostForm, ICustomDesignForm80 Hm, seems that there is no solution for "floating" designer yet. I neer succeeded solving this problem on D2006. Rgds, Frenk "Davor" <proxima777 (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:4610ace3$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
