Question and Answer Database FAQ523C.txt When does the design-time property get set? Category :VCL Platform :All Product :C++Builder 1.x Question: I have derived a component from a TPanel. In the constructor, I look at the BevelWidth property; it is always 1 regardless of what the user sets it to at design time. Apparently the property is updated with the design time value after my constructor fires. When does this happen? Where is a good place to trap this value during initialization of the component? Answer: When components are read from a stream, each component is first constructed, then its property values are read from the stream. A component's Loaded() method is called after all streaming has finished. You can override Loaded() to do something with the component immediately after its state has been read from the stream. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
