I have been using visual form inheritance for a project and have a couple of
questions.
1. Why do I have to do a New... and select the base form from the "MyProject" tab?
If I have a form declared as TMyBaseForm and I do a New Form, why can't I just
change the inhertited class in the new unit? ie
TMyNewForm = class(TForm) becomes TMyNewForm = class(TMyBaseForm). If I do this
by hand then "Revert To Inherited" is not available. So what else is Delphi doing
behind the scenes?
2. A TImageList on the base form does not update on the descendant child forms when
new images are added. Why? Are certain controls not VFI supported?
3. Using DevExpress Bars for my toolbar does not reflect on the descendant children.
How are customised toolbars handled with VFI? Do children have to drag their buttons
on?
What other gotchas are there with VFI? Any comments, references etc. appreciated.
