Tool: Delphi 6 Pro
I created a new component in my main components package that is a descendant of TFrame using the Component -> New Component option. When I try to draw the component on a form during design time I get a "Resource {component class name} not found" error. I tried adding the line {$R *.dfm} to the component unit just after the "implementation" declaration and that didn't work. (I did recompile the host package first). I even tried copying over a DFM from another frame and then renaming everything to sync up with the main unit including the DFM file name itself. That didn't work either.
I want to have the TFrame descendant as a Component instead of just creating a new TFrame variant because I want to add properties to it that show up in the Property Editor at design time. Is there a way to make this work?
Thanks in advance.
