Hi,

I have custom form which is descendant from TForm. I used ToolApi to register custom module and add it to repository. So far so good. But when I click on File->New I can see my category with icon for my custom form but it is disabled. Icon is grayed and I cannot select it to create my custom form from menu and add it to project.

Do you have any suggestions and tips what is wrong and what should I try?

Click here to transfer my source code...

Thanks in advance.

Br,
Nix

p.s. : sorry I am newbie here.

There is also listing of code for which I think it is important:
