My Lazarus is not the name of the components in Delphi that option as
"show components caption," you know someone has a version that has
this property?
If your question is "How can I get Lazarus to show component names in the designer?" then (in recent versions of Lazarus) select Environment
Options
The Options dialog has a TreeView on the left with four headings Environment
Editor
Codetools
Debugger
if 'Environment' is not expanded, click on the + sign, then select the subheading
Form Editor
This page has four panels:
Grid
Rubber band
Miscellaneous
Guide lines
The first check box under 'Miscellaneous' is the component caption option.
If I have not understood your question correctly, you'll have to ask it again.
