Description

TCustomDesignControl is a TScrollingWinControl descendant which provides a designer surface used for scaling and layout of its child controls.

Properties are provided to set the display density (Pixels Per Inch) for design-time and run-time usage, and to Scale child controls. Methods are also provided to use TLayoutAdjustmentPolicy to layout and to re-size the child controls.

An overridden Loaded method is provided to adjust the design-time PPI (when scaling is enabled in the application).

TCustomDesignControl is used as the ancestor for TCustomFrame and TCustomForm.
