Visualize a standalone lfm file in the form editor
« on: October 09, 2016, 11:13:18 am »
Is it possibile to visualize a standalone lfm file in the form editor of Lazarus, without having an associated form unit? Thanks.

Right click on the form in the formdesigner and choose View Source (LFM)
Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

If I open a lfm file with Lazarus (double click on the file), the form designer does not appears... If I open the file from a new void project, when I right click on the form designer, the option "View Source (lfm)" is disabled...  May be I don't understand... I apologize...
