.DFM File Structure
- Thread starter Sisto
- Start date
Delphi 5 .dfm files can be saved as text, and are relatively simple to parse. You can change existing forms to save as text by right clicking and choosing Text DFM. To make all new forms created in a readable format, Go to environment options|preferences and check New forms as text.
If you still want the format of a non-text dfm file, the book Secrets of Delphi 2 by Ray Lischner has a chapter about the structure of a form file. ISBN 1-57169-026-3.
Also, in your bin directory there should be a program called convert which will convert forms to text and back again.
Hope this helps!
