Overriding Help-About menu in designer and previewer

rbuser

I am sure this is simple but I cannot fathom it out.

I want my own About box to appear in the Previewer and Designer forms. I
have followed the examples of customising these but still cannot see how to
do this.

An example would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The about box form is replaceable. You can create your own
TppCustomAboutDialog descendent and register it. A perfect example of this
particular form class descendent is located in the installed
RBuilder\Source\ppAbout.pas unit. Copy this unit and create your own
version of the about box using a different class name and register it. Add
the form unit to your uses clause in your project and it should show up as
the replacement.
