Component change cheating |

Matthew Jones | In Delphi, you can open the DFM file and change a component to a
different type. A TEdit to a TMemo for example. When you then flip back, it spots the change, discards inappropriate properties, and generally sorts itself out. Very handy for switching from one type to another similar type of component. Can EWB do this at all? I presume I can edit the form and source manually if necessary, but are there other issues? I ask because I'm going to have to sort that coloured edit, and at the moment am putting in TEdit placeholders. Would be a pain to sort all the layout and margins again. -- Matthew Jones |

<< Can EWB do this at all?

That will allow you to change a component class. This will be more automated in 2.5 (not 2.05), and you'll be able to actually just use an IDE option to change the class of any component/control Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
