New Designer Component

edited 5:25PM in FastReport 4.0
Hi Friends!

I'd like to create a new FR component, that can be used right from the designer. Which class should I use as its ancestor? (maybe TfrxView?) This would be a very simple component, just draws a 3D framed rectangle using the Windows API's DrawEdge function. It looks very nice. And what should I do for this new component to appear on the palette?

TIA:Alex :-)

    Gordk have you read the developers manual the documentation is weak!

    basswar, if you have the source to fast report, you can read threw it and see how to create them. It's much better than the help.

    once you get the idea of how its done then look at the units as you suggested.
