Something strange happened to my IDE tonight. Most of the properties and Events in the DataModules in my project are lost at design time.
Even if I start a brand new project, add one empty form and an empty DataModule to the application, the properties are not there any longer.

I can't remember I have done anything in the IDE.
Do you know what happened ?

  1. The Object Inspector has a context menu with a View entry, where you can select which property categories are to be shown. Make sure that all are selected.

  2. This is a shot in the dark: Are you using form inheritance on the datamodule? If you don't add all the parent forms in the correct order then properties and components fall off in any child forms that inherit from the parent(s).

  3. Uwe Raabe hit the bull's eye! I didn't even know this context menu exists. My statement "I have done anything in the IDE" was obviously wrong. Thank you very much, everybody, for taking the time to answer my question.
