New form properties in object inspector.

    How do you get properties that you've added to a form to show up in
the object inspector at design time?  I've tried adding the form to the
repository and copying / inheriting off of it, without success.

It isn't at all easy, and you'll need to use RegisterCustomModule and
the semi-documented OpenAPI interfaces to build a form expert. I
suspect Lischner's books documente the concepts.

A far easier approach is to create a non-visual component which
encapsulates the extra properties and events you would normally want
on the form, place the component on an ancestor form, and then use the
normal visual inheritance capability.
