Delphi IDE Explorer: Standalone Component Explorer for Any Application
Read OriginalThis article explains how the Delphi IDE Explorer, originally an IDE plugin, has been modified to function as a standalone component explorer for any Delphi VCL application. It describes the code changes needed, including conditional defines and source unit exclusions, to enable runtime browsing of component hierarchies, property inspection, and editing. The explorer can be invoked from a button or menu item, and it remains usable even during modal dialogs by intercepting WM_ENABLE messages. Demo projects for various Delphi versions are provided in the repository.
