Question
I'm designing a custom control, and every time I have it highlighted in the form designer and then pick another control from the control palette, the new one ends up inside my control, as if it were a TPanel or TGroupBox. This isn't what I want, so how can I keep it from happening?
Solution
You need to remove the csAcceptsControls
flag from the ControlStyle
property, ideally directly in the constructor:
constructor TMyComponent.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited Create(AOwner);
ControlStyle := ControlStyle - [csAcceptsControls];
// more initialization stuff ...
end;
