I just updated the Custom Container Pack sources to support Delphi XE8. It was mostly a matter of creating the packages for the “new” version. I also added XE8 to the compilerversion.inc file.

It now compiles and installs. I have not tested it extensively.

Custom Containers Pack (CCPack) is an integrated tool and component mini-library to produce and maintain composite controls (or simply “composites”) and other containers (forms, data modules and frames). The process of building composite components looks like ActiveForm and Frame creating, but the result is the native VCL component. You can create new composites just as usual forms.

  1. What's the difference between a composite control and a frame?

  2. A composite control can publish additional properties for example. It also behaves like a single control at design time.
