README
Delphi DFM Parser
Parse and save Delphi DFM files by modifying the objects and their properties.
Instalation
Just include the file DS.DfmParser.pas from the src-Directory.
uses DS.DfmParser;Usage
var
DfmFile: TDfmFile;
PanelObject: TDfmObject;
PanelCaption: String;
DfmText: String;
begin
DfmFile := TDfmFile.Create;
// Load file
DfmFile.LoadFromFile('MyDfmFile.dfm');
// Get object (visual element)
DfmObject := DfmFile.GetObject('Panel1');
Writeln(DfmObject.Name); // Panel1
Writeln(DfmObject.ClassName_); // TPanel
// Get properties
PanelCaption := PanelObject.GetProperty('Caption');
Writeln(PanelCaption); // 'Panel1'
// Set property
PanelObject.SetProperty('Caption', '''MyPanel''')
// Delete property
PanelObject.DeleteProperty('Caption');
// Save file
DfmFile.Save('MyModifiedDfmFile.dfm');
// or get the context as string
DfmText := DfmFile.GetDfm;
Writeln(DfmText); // object Form1: TForm1...
DfmFile.Free;
end;Notes
Property values
The parser only parses the dfm but not it's content.
Strings for example are formatted like how one would write it in delphi ('Caption1').
Values can also be multiline. Delphi generally indents the value lines, but it shouldn't make a difference if they aren't. After saving the Form in Delphi it should automatically fix the indention.
