Description 

Ancestor type  

Use the drop-down list to select a base class, or enter the name of a base class for your new component. Unless you override them in the component declaration, your new component will inherit all the properties, methods, and events from its ancestor class. After you enter a base class, default entries are written to the Class name and Unit file name. You can accept or edit these entries.  

Class name  

The name of the new class you are creating. In general, classe names are prefaced with a T. For example, the name of your new button component might be TMyButton.  

Palette page  

Use the drop-down list to select a category, or enter the name of the category, in which you want your new component to appear on the Tool Palette.  

Unit file name  

Specifies the name of the unit that will contain the new component. You can include a directory path with the name; otherwise, the unit will be created in the current directory. If the unit directory is not in the Search path, it will be added to the end of the path.  

Search path  

Specifies the path the product uses to search for files.  

OK  

Creates the component but does not install it. To install the component later, choose ComponentInstalled .NET Components.
