Change superclass of IDE-generated forms

Hi,

I have a case where it would be convenient to extract common behavior
of several forms into "something". I am thinking about a specialized
TForm subclass TMyClass = class(TForm). Is it safe to change the
superclass of IDE-generated forms to that class or will it cause
trouble (with the IDE parsing the source code or other expectations)?
I assume the designer uses a fixed class for the visual representation
anyway, TForm or something else, so components added programmatically
would not show up there, but that would be ok.

Best regards
Joerg
