VCL resource editor

The VCL resource editor can be found on the Resource tab. You can use it to edit resource data directly. It can be useful if you, for example, saved to a resource a property, which cannot be modified neither in the form editor, nor in the property inspector, or in case when it is impossible to create a visual representation of a resource.

The resource editor has these columns:

Status – status of an object in a localization project (R, A, U)
Components/Properties
– tree of resource objects
Type – class of a VCL object (inherited, list, inline)
Original – property value in an original file
Translation – localized property value.

The VCL resource editor cannot insert new data into a resource but allows you to delete properties in a resource and components that have been added to a resource by the form designer. To do so, select the Delete option in the context menu (status of added objects is A, U).
