I think it's better to derrive from TCustomForm instead TForm. TForm is VCL compilled by Borland and you cannot change its DesignTime properties. But you can create a new VCL based on a TCustomForm and add you own published properties.

That was encouraging news. However I did the following: 1) Created a form and named it TestForm. 2) Added a property to it as described in my earlier post. ie. TTestForm = class(TForm) private { Private declarations } iTest: integer; public { Public declarations } published property Test: integer read iTest write iTest default 0; end; 3) Right-clicked on the form and selected Add To Repository..; Filled out the relevant details. 4) Created a new project & removed Form1 from it. 5) Did File->New->Other .. 6) Selected Forms | TestForm. Used option Inherit. The new form created is indeed a descendant of TTestForm. But still no "Test" property can be seen on it.
