Edward,
At a guess, your object is a descendent of TComponent. The default
behaviour of the object inspector is to display a combobox of compatible
components for the property. Furthermore, when the form is saved to a DFM
file, only a reference to the component is saved.
If you changed your object to derive from TPersistent instead, the object
inspector will expand it like the TFont, etc objects.
Regards,
Dennis.
