Description
Registers multiple properties in a specific property category.
Call RegisterPropertiesInCategory to associate several properties at once with a specific category. Then, when the Object Inspector displays properties by category, those properties appear under the associated category.
RegisterPropertiesInCategory comes in three overloaded variations, each providing a different set of criteria for identifying the property to be associated with property categories.
CategoryName is the name of the category. This is the string that appears in the Object Inspector's "View" menu item.
Filters is a set of property names or types that identify properties to be associated with the category. If Filters is an array of strings, it lists only property names. If it is an array of const, it can include types as well.
Note: In C++, Filters_Size is the index of the last name or type in Filters (one less than the number of elements).
ComponentClass is the class of a component whose properties are to be associated with the category.
PropertyType is a type information record that describes the type of the properties being registered. In Delphi, you can use the TypeInfo method to obtain this record for a type. In C++, you can use the typeid method to obtain this record for a class. PropertyType can't be used with simple types in C++.
