[DUG]: Layout of Non-visual components

[Stacey Verner]

I have a component editor which adds lookup columns to a dataset. to do this we must also create lookup datasets for the lookup columns.

 

At the moment the datasets are all created at 0, 0.

TComponent does not have Left or Top property, however there is a Left and Top entry in the dfm for each non-visual component.

Is there any way that I can set this?

 

In some cases we may want these lookup datasets created on a form or dataset other than the one the parent dataset is on. For this I need to get a list of available forms or data modules from the designer (do these need to be open?), and allow the user to pick the desired destination. How do I get the list?

 

Thanks

 

Stacey
