Creating Component Templates in Delphi

[dummzeuch 1386]

One nice feature of the Delphi IDE that I keep forgetting are Component Templates. That means you drop and customize one or multiple components on a form and then give them a new name so you can easily create them again on a different form in a different program.

Nice, when was this feature added? I'd not noticed it.

Not sure when it was added. Delphi 6 already has it, but it might be even older.

Any idea where that saves the info, Registry maybe?

 

Could be nice to make some syc-app that would sync all templates to all codes in the team. If needed... All would benefit and also properties would be unified also. without too much hassle.
