Hide a property from object inspector in delphi

Question

I want to make a new component. How can I hide the Caption property in the object inspector? I use TPanel as ancestor class.

Answer 1

Use TCustomPanel as the base class and publish the properties you need.

Answer 2

by using UnlistPublishedProperty. At this link http://delphihaven.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/tip-removing-a-property-at-design-time/ you can find a fully explained example.

LE: as good practice you should create another class, descendant of TCustomPanel and publish only the properties you need/want.
