Hi, When you drop a component on a form, by default the name of the component is derived from the ClassName with leading 'T' removed (and number suffix added). Now, I'm wondering about registering a class named T3DScene as a component, and this causes problems: when you drop this component on a Lazarus form, the default name is "3DScene1", which obviously isn't a valid Pascal identifier. Lazarus shows an error message "Error setting the name of a component :T3DScene to 3DScene1" and refuses to add the component to the form.
1. Is there a solution for this? Is there maybe a virtual method like TComponent.GetDefaultName that I can override, or some other way to tell Lazarus that the default name for T3DScene class should be like "Scene1", "Scene2" etc.? 2. Or do I just have to rename the class (to e.g. "TScene" or "TScene3D") to make it work without problems with form designer? Browsing the Lazarus sources, I didn't see any such way (it seems that the logic to remove 'T' from ClassName is just hardcoded in some places), so I'm guessing it's 2., but wanted to make sure :) Thanks, Michalis -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
