Hi,
It's 3 weeks I'm looking for the way Borland made their Object Inspector (OI) component. I'm interested in the look of the component: categories with + - to open or close lists of name-values pairs.
I know there is a lot of object inspector components available but I don't need the functionality and none of them display data the way D2006 does in OI.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Enrico


I have looked at this and wondered

There is an event - - OnDraw

This allows for you to take over the drawing of each box.
With this you can change the background color of any box.

with this you can add the Plus Minus or other logo's if you so desire

From here it should not be too hard to do what you want.

and as you know with the TValuelisteditor you can also have each box as
standard entry or as drop down combo or trigger an other routine - -
(such as the OI does for bringing up the font dialog); and I have used these quite often to good effect - - -

and even add the drop down combo to the TStringGrid with good functionality.
