Hi, I'm playing around with a non-lcl-designer to design xib forms. This works quite nice, but there are a lot of issues.
Basic problem is that the 'objects' which are placed on the designer are not TComponent descendants. In fact they aren't even classes but objcclasses. To circumvent this problem I created a unit with TComponent descendants with the same name as the objcclasses I really want to use. I thought that the Lazarus designer uses the classes which are compiled into the IDE. But this is not everywhere the case. Sometimes the codetools are used. They look up the unit sources and then see completely different classes then the 'fake' TComponent descendants that I used. I can create a form, edit it, save it, compile it. But when I close it and re-open it again the 'normal' TForm designer is used. Does anyone see another approach? How could I handle this?
