Re: Easy components feature for Delphi

I am building my app and decide I would like to have a non-visual
component (not to exlude visual ones), so I create a new pas unit and code
my new component. I would not have to go through a lengthly install, I
would not have to create a package, and at best no install at all. I
would simply be able to drop this component on a form and start using it.

I imagine this component could show up in some "local components" toolbar
or something.

Also, thinking ahead, if it were this easy then 3rd party components would
be as easy as adding the 3rd party unit to your uses clause. This would
also solve the huge list of components problem.

This sounds like a recipe for configuration nightmare
when copying projects from 1 PC to another. I have enough
trouble keeping my desktop and laptop synchronised without
additional project-specific component sets.

Cheers,

Chris
