Hi,

I have own component editor which inherit from TComponentEditor. I have connected it to the control. Everything works fine, my form dialog pop up when I double click on control or from context menu. But my form dialog have filelistbox and I want that it point to some subfolder of this control package. How can I do that? I think this is possible because lazarus can do this: when I open some installed package and try to open some file, open dialog point to current opened package.

Regards.

The paths are not compiled in.
The IDE knows the path, because it has a history of lpk files.
See ~/.lazarus/packagefiles.xml

Another possibility is to pass the package path via run / run parameters / environment / user overrides

Hmm. Is an easier way? The point is that my package with visual controls, has subcatalog "styles". In design mode, when user open style manager (double click on control) then I would like to display all files in that directory. For the first time I could ask the user for the path to the package, but where then save this path? In Lazarus's home directory?

At designtime you can find the package directory easily:

uses MacroIntf; // package IDEIntf
  Dir:='$PkgDir(YourPkgName)';
  IDEMacros.SubstituteMacros(Dir);

That was exactly what I needed! Thanks Mattias
