Configuration-Aware Controls for Delphi

How You Use IniControls

Using IniControls in Delphi's Designer is a simple three-step process.

  1. Place a TIniSource component on the form and tell it what Registry subkey or .ini file to look at.
  2. Place the configuration-aware controls that you need on the form. Assign a section name (for example [Desktop]) and a keyword (for example Wallpaper=) to each, and point each one at the DataSource you created in Step 1.
  3. To save the settings, create a Save button and in its OnClick method, call TIniSource.Save.

With IniControls, configuration dialogues just write themselves!
