Delphi - How to register a custom form...

Question

Hi!

D6 Prof.

Because of Z-Order problem I created a new form. I want to register this custom form in Delphi, to I can use it as normal form, and to I can replace my forms with this - to avoid Z-Order problems.

But I don't know, how to do it.

I created the class, but how to register?

How to force Delphi to show it under "New..." menu?

Thanks for your help: dd

@durumdara, you can use the object repository from the delphi IDE.

Answer 3

If you added new properties or the like you have to call RegisterCustomModule() within a design-time package to register the form with Delphi. Use RegisterNoIcon to avoid registration in the component palette.
