Using EControl Form Designer Pro you may easily create and integrate design environment in your applications. It uses all registered property editors, component editors and other design objects. You may use all abilities of existed design objects which are essential part of any VCL library.

It is possible to create design environment in any interface type: MDI, SDI, BDS style, etc. Library consist of 16 components which helps in creating professional designer IDE.

Main features

• Fully compatible with Delphi IDE
• It is based on the same interfaces like Delphi form designer
• You can edit forms, data modules, reports, controls on you form
• Full Unicode support.
• Undo, Redo operations.
• Design Surface - container for designed forms.
• Im-place text editing - original feature which provides ability of editing text captions directly on control. This makes designing process more comfortable.
• Object inspector looks and works like Delphi's one and now has BDS style with support of property categories, gutter, references, Unicode properties edit...
• State images - special interface to add images to property edit control at the left side.
• Easy integration with 3D-party Scripters

• Support custom modules
• Support property and component editors
• Collection, picture, string, dataset fields, actions and other editors are available
• "Object Inspector Properties" dialog.
• Cross modules references (object and method)
• Event properties editing
• Runtime package loading
• Palette panel for selecting Class to insert
• Palette tab control like Delphi one
• Alignment palette
• Align, Size, Scale, Tab Order, Creation Order dialogs
• Designer hints
• Clipboard operations compatible with Delphi (you can copy components to/ from Delphi)
• Customizable performance
• "Packages" dialog allows Load/Unload packages.
• "Customize Palette" dialog allows customizing component palette.
• Save/Load component palette and packages configuration.
• Frame support. You can insert and edit frames.
• Properties Root, Form, ContainerWindow are now public. To set design target Published property Target has been added.
• Property Edit - edit control for editing property value using property editors.
• BDS style design operations
• Object Tree View - displays a tree diagram of the visual and non-visual components you place on a form, data module, or frame.
• Tools palette list - Tool list with component palette. Allows in-place rearranging, auto-collapsing, vertical categories, components filtration, etc.
• Ready to-use frames: object inspector frame, component palette tool list frame, object tree view frame - encapsulate default behavior and make creation of design environment faster.
• More...

Improved performance is visible where large number of objects are created/destroyed (reported with XML parsing, Virtual tree with objects, BDS IDE itself).

Completely transparent in AutoOptimize mode (just include it in any project).

Object Inspector suite includes:

• TPropertyInterface -component for easy access to any property or event of any component at runtime (the best object interface to the RTTI - Borland's RunTime Type Information)
• TCommonInspector - abstract inspector control for inspecting anything in your application
• TComponentInspector - customizable full-functional runtime object inspector control
• TComponentTree - tree view style control for easy selection of components
• TComponentComboBox - control for easy selection of components
• TDBInspector - ready-to-use database inspector control
• TIniInspector - ready-to-use ini-file inspector control
• TApplicationInspector - ready-to-use inspector control for changing an Applications properties at runtime
• TSystemColorsInspector - ready-to-use inspector control for changing Window colors.

• A Delphi like object inspector.
• A component palette that you can even add third party controls to.
• A library of functions to update existing form customizations and to provide two way tools just like Delphi.
• A form heirarchy that will allow you to get tremendous basic functionality with zero coding required.
• The ability to stream out customized forms to either a database field or to the system registry.
• Great demos to quickly get you up to speed.

Features:

• Each MetaGroup is composed of MetaProperties which are basic types string, integer, float, etc (user types allowed in registered version).
• Groups and Properties can be added and removed on the fly.
• Complex hiearchies can be built by attaching groups together.
• Properties can inherit from base groups to make reusable structures.
• MetaLibs allow the complete group hiearchy to be saved/loaded with one line of code.
• Saved/Loaded MetaLibs make for moveable data structures between applications.

It's the perfect complement for the component TSaveComponents (for stored and retrive the state/position of components).

NOTE: Version 1.5 correct small gugs on component. Added some improvements and tested with new version of Delphi (XE).

You can move and resize the control selected.

Put the control in the form, assign to him the control that is desired to select / move / resize and to activate it.
