"Johnnie Norsworthy"
I just wanted to share a technique I recently started using in a large
application I am currently building. I have found it to be a huge timesaver
for my complex component settings which I would normally repeat a lot at
design time.

I create a form and set it to not be automatically created at runtime. I
call this my "clipboard form".

Then I add components to this form as I need a new type and set all design
time properties necessary. This can be quite a few settings.

When I need a component on another form, I cut and paste from this form to
that form.

It may seem simple, but this saves me a precious seconds quite a few times a
day.

I am aware there are other methods for accomplishing the same thing with
Delphi, but my way has been quick to implement and makes my form building
almost easy.
