| Resource Editor: How To Edit A Delphi Form (RCData)
Programs compiled using the Borland® Delphi/C++ Builder do not commonly have
menu, dialog, or accelerator resources, but store this information in a resource type
named RCData that holds the information that were in the DFM (Delphi Form Module)
file before the compilation.
When examining a program written in Delphi/C++ Builder, Resource Tuner visualizes
in text mode all the loaded DFMs of the target executable and reconsitutes them in
editable form.
1. Expand the RCData folder that’s found in the Resource Tree
view, and select the DFM resource item to be edited in the Resource Tree view.
2. Open the DFM resource using the "Resource Editor" button
or the popup menu displayed by right-clicking the Resource Tree. Or simply double-click
the resource item directly.
3. Navigate through the objects displayed in a hierarchical tree to find
an object to be edited. All assigned properties and events will be displayed.

4. Select an object property or value entry by clicking it in the displayed
listview.
5. Make any desired changes. Improperly altered property can cause a modified
program to crash at run time. So be careful. Entering values outside the range of
valid values for a property may render the target program inoperable. Don't experiment
on the only copy of a file.
6. Press the Apply button to apply your newly entered value for this
property or event.
7. Press OK to close the Resource Editor and select 'File' ->
'Save File As ...' to save the changes you've just made to the target file.
If warned that the image size has changed, click "Yes" to update
the file size.
Any change you make can be restored prior to quitting the editor using the OK
button. To abort your changes quit the editor using the Cancel button.
