TAdvCustomComponentInspector Class

Abstract base component inspector that displays and edits the published properties and events of one or more components.

Remarks

TAdvCustomComponentInspector extends TAdvCustomInspector to show and edit the published properties or event handlers of a TComponent instance. Set Instance to bind the inspector to a component, then toggle between properties and event handlers via the Mode property. When MultiSelect is True, multiple components can be inspected simultaneously and only properties common to all selected instances are displayed. Custom property editors, filtering, sorting, translation via a dictionary file, and event-list population are all available through the corresponding event callbacks.
