Copying a control to the toolbar for temporary selection.
vfclists:
IIRC Delphi has a system where if you need rapid access to a set of one or more grouped controls which may be held in a parent container such as a panel, you can copy it to the components toolbar and select it whenever you want onto a form.
Is that feature available in the Lazarus IDE?

Are you referring to TFrame?

No, not Tframe. It applies to any control you have made some changes to that you want to make permanently available or just for the session. So for instance of you want a panel with a green border, you can create a panel with a green border, place it on the components palette, and any time you want a panel with a green border you just choose it from the component palette.

Doesn't copy/paste do the same thing? :-[
Joanna:
Are you trying to create a custom control and add it to the componets palette?
