Hi, in dev bgracontrols we have this new component, TBCComboBox, that
is made with a TBCButton and a TListBox.

https://github.com/bgrabitmap/bgracontrols/blob/dev-
bgracontrols/bccombobox.pas

I registered the property editors for the button and the listbox

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
Register;begin  RegisterComponents('BGRA Controls', [TBCComboBox]); 
RegisterPropertyEditor(TypeInfo(TListBox),    TBCComboBox, 'ListBox',
TClassPropertyEditor);  RegisterPropertyEditor(TypeInfo(TBCButton),  
TBCComboBox, 'Button', TClassPropertyEditor);end;
So now for example I can assign ListBox.Items from the object
inspector, then at runtime these get loaded like a normal property
does.

I can assign the style for the button too, but in this case then at
runtime the default style is shown... what is missing in TBCButton to
work like TListBox regarding loading and saving properties from the
object inspector?

I don't know what exactly you want to achieve. But don't you register
just the standard class property editor here? I think this is not even
needed. I also see that "ListBox" and "Button" are public, but for
streaming their properties they must be published.

Thanks.

The thing we wanted to achieve was to style the child button from the
object inspector.

It was solved publishing the style properties of the Button, instead
of publishing the button itself.
