Hi. I've created a new class through
File ->New ->Other ... ->Application.
But I'm unable to add a new __property to the published
section.
class TFrameYearlyItemPage : public TFrameItemPage
{
typedef TFrameItemPage inherited;
__published: // IDE-managed Components
__property bool Var = { read=FVar, write=FVar, default=true };
public: // User declarations
private:
bool FVar;
};
When I compile the above, it errors "Error in module
YearlyItemPage. Incorrect field declaration in class
TFrameYearlyItemPage".
Yet when I move the __property Var to the public section, it
compiles fine.
What am I doing wrong? I'd like to add a published property
to my class.
Thanks.

there only if the class is going to be a component. Put it
under public instead.

section is for the *IDE*'s use. Not your's. If you want to expose your own
published properties, creates a second __published section, ie:
class TFrameYearlyItemPage : public TFrameItemPage
{
typedef TFrameItemPage inherited;
__published: // IDE-managed Components
// do not touch the IDE's stuff here
public: // User declarations
private:
bool FVar;
__published:
__property bool Var = { read=FVar, write=FVar, default=true };
};

does not display additional published properties that you add to TFrame or

don't show up in the property list window. That is, I create
a new TForm, and on it put the TFrameItemPage that I created,
but the new properties I added to it don't show up. I was
expecting a property corresponding to Var with name "Var", and
a dropdown with values true or false. But all I see are the
properties of class TFrame.
Thanks.
