The Component Tree window

The Component Tree window is located in the top window of the Object Tree dialog and can be made visible or hidden by checking or unchecking the Show Component Tree entry on any of the pop-up menus that are accessed by right-clicking on the Object Inspector dialog. The components of the application are shown in a parent-child relationship on a tree diagram. Right-clicking on the window gives you access to a pop-up menu that allows you to copy, cut, paste, and delete the selected component. Copying will create a new component when pasted. You can cut and paste a component into and out of different container type components such as TPanel. There is also a menu entry titled Z-order that allows you to adjust what layer of the form the component is anchored to. This is only effective for container components, such as TPanel.
