Hello,

Would it be possible to add option "Change Parent..." to PopupMenu of
Object Inspector? Now it is possible only on a Form. I have many
components on many Tabs (I use TPageControl) and sometimes some
component is "lost" or out of visible area under some panel and I
cannot rightclick on it.

Now is only possible change Z-Order from Obj. Inspector.

Thanks

There's a workaround you can use:

1. Go to Menu Environment/Options.
2. Go to Environment/Form Editor.
3. In th Miscellaneous group box: uncheck the "Right click Selects"
and apply changes.

Then select the component you want to change parent, go to the form
editor and right click anywhere in the form, and select what you want
to do ...

That's it!!

By the way it would be nice to have all the Form Editor's Pop-Up
functionality within the object inspector, plus drag and drop to
change parent of a component.
