TGearFormHelper

The TGearFormHelper type is, as it’s name implies a helper type for the Gear Form.

It has a lot of methods and callbacks that are hidden by default and won’t be mentioned on this page because they are internal methods you shouldn’t touch.

Do feel free to read the source code though if you so desire.

GearForm.CreateGearCombobox

function TGearFormHelper.CreateGearCombobox(owner: Pointer; caption: TLazLabel = nil): TLazComboBox;

This is the only method from Gear Form you might need to use. This will create a combobox for you whose contents auto-update with changes made on the Gear Form.

GearForm variable

Global TGearFormHelper variable.

ScriptForm CreateGearTab

function TScriptForm.CreateGearTab(): TLazTabSheet;

Sets up a TLazTabSheet on your TScriptForm to configure your Gear Layouts.

Example:

{$I WaspLib/osrs.simba}
var
  form: TScriptForm;
begin
  form.Setup();
  form.CreateGearTab();
  form.Run();
end.
