Sorry, this implementation must be rejected. The idea is good but it must use the public interface in ComponentReg. If the current interface is not enough, it can be extended. I just did a big refactoring for separating the interface (TBaseComponentPage, TBaseComponentPalette etc.) from the GUI implementations. It is not ready and I am not sure if it even is worth the effort to cut the inheritance completely. Now anyway there are no references to GUI controls in the interface, but all relevant non-GUI stuff is there, including property Selected: TRegisteredComponent. All GUI controls are in the implementing classes. My plan was to make a "PaletteViewer" interface which would initially be implemented by TComponentPalette and TComponentList. Let's see if it happens ... If you modify / refactor your patch and break the TComponentPalette dependency, I will be happy to apply it.
