TLMDPropertyInspector hides properties if more than one component is added

If I add more than one component to a TLMDPropertyInspector then properties derived from type string are hidden.

Is there a possibility to avoid this?

I cannot reproduce this issue. Everything works fine:

type

  TFoo = class(TPersistent)

  private

    FS: string;

  published

    property S: string read FS write SetS;

  end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

  LMDSimplePropInspector1.Objects.Add(TFoo.Create);

  LMDSimplePropInspector1.Objects.Add(TFoo.Create);

end;

Generally, this is controlled by the praMultiSelect attribute of the property editor. So, some specific properties, which have specialized property editors can be hidden when several objects are added. One example of such kind of properties is TComponent.Name.

I have a property of a self defined type of string:

TMyString = type string;

Type

  TMyObject = class (TPersistent)

    private

      FS: TMyString;

    published

      property S: TMyString read FS write FS;

  end;

Strange. It should work. I've checked this case (TMyString = type string) also before answering you last time.

Can you then create a small demo project and send it to our support email?

Okay, trying to build a demo project I recognized that I registered an own property editor for "TMyString". It seems that this is the reason why TMyString property is not shown if I select more than one objects.

I sent a demo project to your support email.

The solution is to use praMultiSelect attribute:

function TMyStringPropEditor.GetAttrs: TLMDPropAttrs;

begin

  Result := [praDialog, praMultiSelect];

end;

This works!

Thank you for helping me!
