I though, at last, I have a cool bar, I tested it and it looked great.

So I modified my code to change all the Speedbars to coolbars.

I use good OOP, so I have about 4 base forms and the rest inherits from them.

Who is able to describe my frustration. If I try to modify or use the
inherited form, I get the message

The component KASBASECoolBar does not support inheritence.

What the hell is going on. I can't put a Tcoolbar on a form I inherit.

Is this a violation of OO or what. This is a big minus for Borland.

Yep had the same problem, so I just put the code into my "Base form" to
create the coolbar at run time, and that works.  having worked with the
"Cool-Bar" before (API Calls galore) I believe this is an inherited problem
from microsoft << Note : you cannot use the cool bar without a recent
comctrls.dll  so this component is just a wrapper around MS stuff >>
