RE: [DUG]: Layout of Non-visual components

That works great :)

 

How about a list of available forms or datamodules from within a TComponent Editor?

 

Thanks

It does - but not that obvious.

 

In D6 the field TComponent.DesignInfo holds the top and left positions, by splitting the integer into two words - look in classes TComponent.WriteLeft and TComponent.WriteTop to see which word of DesignInfo is used for left and top.

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
