it is because that is how the form streaming, event and component hookup mechanism works. The declarations before the visiblity directives are treated as "published". No, explicitly adding a "published" section won't work. On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 4:24 PM, John Bird wrote: > Thanks, I had sort of

The correct spot being? (that was my question! - there looks to be rules I did not know about. ) Form inheritance - not applicable so much in this case, as the set of labels and edit boxes vary totally from case to case. I just got tired of the repetitive task of creating large sets of these

Why not form inheritence? Are you declaring the events in the correct spot for the form? BTW, you really want your Label font to be different to the Edit font? On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 10:39 AM, John Bird wrote: > I have a source generation program to speed creating of sets of labels and > edit

2010-09-16 Thread John Bird
I have a source generation program to speed creating of sets of labels and edit boxes on a form - which gives output like examples below. I paste the code that goes in the DFM onto the form, and it creates all the components - a neat Delphi trick for those who might not know. My problem is tha
