property XYBound: TXYBounds read FXYBounds write SetXYBounds stored true;

it works for me without this

<div>
Are properties of TXYBounds also published?<br />
Best you can do is show us the declarations of TXYBounds and the component.

Thanks all for your help,<br />
<br />
I found the problem, I had declared the component as<br />
&nbsp; property XYbounds: TXYBounds read FXYBounds;<br />
I changed it to<br />
&nbsp; property XYbounds: TXYBounds read FXYBounds write FXYBounds;<br />
and it works fine.<br />

ivobauer, due to your suggestion to check the declaration of my component - I compared it to other components that did work and figured out the solution.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a component which has a published property of type: TXYBounds=class(TPersisten<wbr />t)<br />
<br />
The published properties in the TXYBounds class show up correctly in the object inspector but they are not saved to the dfm file. Which means that no matter what I set the properties to in the object inspector at design time, at run time they always revert back to their initial values as set in the constructor.<br />
<br />
How should I implement this type of embedded component so that it interacts with the object inspector and saves to the dfm file?<br />
