[vijay victory]

Hi all, Is there any way to customize Delphi's inbuilt controls like Button or EditBox?? please suggest if anyone knows.

Regards, Victory. I have never failed,I just found 1000 ways that never works.

Yup, in a similar way like C#; you inherit from an existing control and expand it. Example can be found on About.com[^] Good luck :)

Just like the previous post indicated. You can start by adding a control you wish to modify to a form. Get the control the way you want it, then right-click on it and select Add to Repository. Find an appropriate place, etc. Then use this control from this point forward. Note, this is only for modifying the controls properties. A little, but not much, more complicated if you wish to alter the behavior behind the events.
