Hi Black TigerX<br />
<br />
Cool!<br />
<br />
And so simple - much simpler than I remember!<br />
<br />
Thank you very much, I have been reading it up and looking on the internet and getting no-where!!!!<br />
<br />
I will give you the point and Merry Xmas (if you're a Christian!).<br />
<br />
If not - I wish you all the best.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I have bought a component with source that I want to modify in some simple ways.<br />
<br />
I am using Delphi 7.<br />
<br />
Can someone show me how to edit the component and run it in the IDE.<br />
<br />
As a simple example, if you can add a msgbox ('Hello world...!') to the paint or create event of the component and then walk me through running it in the iDE, that's all I want - I can take care of the actual coding myself.<br />
<br />
I am an experienced programmer and I have created a component set when using Delphi 2 - 10 years ago.<br />
<br />
I don't want to relearn the whole topic - just to be able to make some simple changes and see them.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

How do I change a component?

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
