IDesignerHook Interface

IDesignerHook is an interface that allows component writers to interact with the form designer in the IDE.

Pascal

IDesignerHook = interface(IDesignerNotify);

C++

__interface IDesignerHook : public IDesignerNotify;

File

Forms

Description

IDesignerHook provides access to the form currently under construction in the form designer, and influences the behavior of the designer by specifying whether the object under construction is a form (as opposed to a composite component), drawing the grid that assists in layout, and so on.

Component writers can access the current IDesignerHook interface using the Designer property of a form.

Note: C++ method declarations that use IDesignerHook use the _di_IDesignerHook type instead. This is a DelphiInterface wrapper around the IDesignerHook interface:

Copy Code

typedef System::DelphiInterfaceDelphiInterface_object< IDesignerHook > _di_IDesignerHook;
