If buttons added to one form don't automatically and immediately show up on a second form, then the second form is not truly inherited from the first. To illustrate form inheritance, create a new project with a form and a button on it, and save it. Then click File > New, select the tab listing your application name, select the form and click OK (notice the only available option at the bottom is inherit). Now, whatever you do to the first form is immediately replicated to the inherited form.

From: Andries Bos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 7:41 AM To: delphi advanced group Subject: [delphi-en] form inheritance I have a form that inherits all buttons etc from a main form; also onto this second form , i've added different other buttons etc. How could I force an added button onto the ancestor form (form1) to be also visibile within the second form. I've edited the dfm file by hand in the past to use the "inherited button" , but I think there should be an easier way to let a new button be visible onto the second form. What should be the proper way to do this? regards Andries Bos --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----------------------------------------------------- Home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/delphi-en/ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
