Hello,

I have created a new component TZModule that inherits from TDataModule. I have created a new entry in File > New that permits to create a new TZModule. When I add a new TZmodule to my project and I double click on it, Lazarus creates, as expected, a new event handler for OnCreate called TZModule1.DataModuleCreate.

How can I change the default name from DataModuleCreate to ZModuleCreate ?

When I create a new TZModule it's small. Can I change the default size of newly created TZModule ?

Thanks.

Don't no if it's because of my poor english or because of my questions are stupid but I didn't get much answers... :-(

How can I change the default name from DataModuleCreate to ZModuleCreate ?

I suppose that the default name of an event handler is built from the name of the class that introduced the event so may be there is no simple way to change that...

When I create a new TZModule it's small. Can I change the default size of newly created TZModule ?

I found that this can be done overriding Create to set a value to DesignSize.

constructor TZModule.Create(TheOwner: TComponent);
var
  Size : TPoint;
begin
  inherited Create(TheOwner);
  Size.X := 320;
  Size.Y := 200;
  DesignSize := Size;
end;

May this can be done in the default constructor of TDataModule ? Without that the window representing a newly created TDataModule in the IDE is so small that it needs manual resizing before any use. -------------- next part --------------

The default component name is fetched from the
TProjectFileDescriptor.DefaultResourceName.

Yes. Feel free to propose a change to the FPC bug tracker. I increased the minimum size in the IDE for TDataModule to 150x150.

The default component name is fetched from the TProjectFileDescriptor.DefaultResourceName.

Thanks. But it seems that creating a new TDataModule descendant is harder than creating normal components (I have problems with streaming of events). So I change my mind. I will use normal data module with special component on it.

I increased the minimum size in the IDE for TDataModule to 150x150.

Thanks again. This is a very good point because, with my KDE desktop, the window was so small that the window close button and the window menu button are separated by a title bar of 3 or 4 pixels only : unreadable and undragable.
