DFMEdit - Packages

to use external Components with dfmedit, they must be compiled (with same delphi-version as dfmedit.exe) in a runtime-package.
you'll find a wrapper package for VirtualTreeview in the VTWrapper.zip. this can be done with nearly all components.
after creating the dpl-/bpl-file you can load it into DFMEdit using the Options-Dialog or the packages-Section in dfmedit.ini

how to register a component for use with dfmedit (in a unit required by the package):
this registers the classes TVirtualStringTree and TVirtualDrawTree:

initialization
  RegisterClasses([TVirtualStringTree, TVirtualDrawTree]);
finalization
  UnRegisterClasses([TVirtualStringTree, TVirtualDrawTree]);

after loading this package you can use TVirtualStringTree and TVitualDrawTree in Preview and ObjectInspector.
