TIDEComponentComboBox Class

Combobox that lists all components in the form being designed and synchronizes selection with the form designer.

Remarks

TIDEComponentComboBox is a combobox-style visual component that lists all components in the form being designed and allows selecting one of the components. When the component is selected in the combobox, the component is selected in the form designer, and the properties of the component appears in the inspector. When a component is manually selected in the form designer by the end-user, the combobox also auto-updates itself and displayes the currently selected component. It contains a key property Engine which connects the designer to a TIDEEngine component so that it integrates itself automatically in the IDE and allows that communication with the designer and the inspector.
