Basically you're trying to access the published properties of a component at run-time and in a sense you're trying to create a run-time Object Inspector. To quote a post on another newsgroup:
"There are some components around that give you a run-time designer environment, e.g. http://www.dreamcompany.com/ "You can build such a thing using the routines from the TypInfo unit. These allow you to access the run-time type information for published properties in an object. With that you can enumerate the properties, find out which type they are, get and set property values. Combine this with a two-column grid and you have something like the Object inspector." There are also plenty of free-ware (with source) projects around that do this. To start with I would start by having a look in the TypInfo unit and possibly download one of the many free projects and work it out from there. By the way, there was a similar thread on this newsgroup not long ago (entitled RTTI). From this I can only guess that there's likely to be someone out there that should be able to help you out more than I could at this point... -Andreas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of vss Sent: Wednesday, 2 October 2002 09:25 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: RE: [DUG]: Checkbox Ok, but how do I access the values? i.e. How do I read say checkbox10...as an example to see if its checked or not? -----Original Message----- From: "Andreas Toth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Multiple recipients of list delphi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2002 09:05:49 +1200 Subject: RE: [DUG]: Checkbox > If this is what you want to do then why not read/write all the > components to > a run-time DFM file?
