Design time access to Custom Attributes

142 views Asked by At

Is there a way to access custom attributes (TCustomAttribute) ad design time. I have a custom form that has a custom module (from ICustomModule) registered. I would like to be able to access any custom attributes that have been defined for the form at design time.

The short answer is No.

TCustomAttribute is directely derived from TObject.

Only registred TComponent descendents are avalaible in the Tool Palette of the IDE.

The IDE doesn't have a dedicated View to dispay all TCustomAttribute descendent referenced in all unit defined in the interface uses clause (Nevertheless you may extend the IDE, otherwise write an expert and install it).

Likewise, Object Inspector displays only properties and events of the form but not annotations.
