Question

Delphi XE (It works fine in Delphi 2010).

Try: create a frame and a color box inside it. The color box -> set a Selected color other than black and a style = cbCustomColor (not cbCustomColors); paste the frame into the form, save a project.

Close the project. Reopen->errors as below:

I need this “custom color”, who is freaking: me, a color box, a frame or whole Delphi? 🙂
Thanks!!!
