Good Afternoon,

This is my first post, I'm sorry if its to the wrong place, or
supposedly obvious. I've been programming in FP for a while now, and
had some graphical experience with Delphi. I'm now just going into
using Lazarus and its LCL. I know that creating more components is
possible, I just havn't found any way to do it. Any hints or tutorials
or how-tos on creating components in Lazarus?

Thankyou


Lochok

Creating Lazarus components is essentially the same as creating Delphi
components, although registering them on the palette bar is a bit more
complex.

The Delphi component articles at delphi.about.com ar a good place to
start.

Try modifying an existing component or two before attempting anything
more ambitious.

Good luck!
