Is it possible to dynamically generate an editor GUI based on a data type class?

Recommended Posts

Is there any existing library or framework that can automatically (dynamically) generate an editor user interface for a user defined class?  For example,

 

TSex = (Male, Female);

 

TMyFunkyDataType = class

    Name: String;  // --- this will generate a text editor

    Sex: TSex;   // --- this will generate a drop down box

end;

There are 3rd party Object Inspectors available, if you search around.

 

Or, you could write your own editor using the VCL's TValueListEditor component and some manual RTTI logic.

Joke: In today's world you are better suited with a string type.
