TObjInspPropDlg = class(TForm);

eddObjInspProp

Use this page to specify options for the Object Inspector, which you can also access by right-clicking the Object Inspector and choosing Properties. 

 

SpeedSettings

Click the drop-down list box to import, choose, and customize settings from the following color schemes: Custom, Default, Delphi 5, and Visual Studio. 

 

Colors

To customize one of the imported color schemes, select it from the SpeedSettings list. Then select an option and select a different color from the drop-down list below. For example, to change the color of Value, the text color for properties’ values, select Value and click clYellow from the Options list. You save your new settings once you click OK. This automatically saves the changes to the Custom colors and settings scheme, not the original imported one. 

 

To return to your default settings, click Default colors and settings or one of the others. 

 

Options

Sets preferences for displaying several options on the Object Inspector. 

 

Check box 
When checked 
Show instance class 
Displays the drop-down list box of components and their class names (called the instance list) at the top of the Object Inspector. The list is useful when you have many components on your form or data module and can’t find the one you want right away. Click the drop-down arrow and select the component you want to focus on. To hide the list, uncheck this check box. 
Show classname in instance list 
Displays the component’s class name for every component in the instance list, not just the first one 
Show status bar 
Displays the status bar at the bottom of the Object Inspector. The status bar states how many properties or events are not shown as a result of using the View command. If all properties or events are visible in the Object Inspector, it says “All shown.” 
Render background grid 
Adds horizontal background lines to designate columns and rows on the Properties and Events pages. 
Integral height (when not docked) 
As you vertically resize the Object Inspector with your cursor, this option adjusts the Object Inspector between a full row instead of a partial row. 
Show read only properties 
Displays the properties for components (usually third-party) even if the properties are read only. By default, they are grayed out. 

 

References

Component references are properties that are also components. Once you add the referenced component to your form and refer the first component to it, you can view and edit the referenced component’s properties without selecting it on the form. For example, if you add an ActionList and ImageList component to your form and set the ActionList’s Images property to ImageList1, the Object Inspector displays the ImageList’s properties. 

 

Check box 
When checked 
Expand inline 
Displays the properties of the referenced component. To view these properties, click the plus (+) sign next to the referenced component. By default, referenced components are red and their properties green. 
Show on events page 
Displays the events of the referenced component. By default, referenced properties are red and their events green.
