Options Dialog

TSynEditOptionsDialog (unit SynEdit.OptionsDialog) is a ready-made dialog that lets the user of your application configure an editor: options, gutter, fonts, colors and key bindings.

How it works

The dialog does not work directly on the editor, but on a container of settings, TSynEditorOptionsContainer (unit SynEdit.MiscClasses): you copy the settings of the editor into the container, run the dialog and, if the user confirms, copy them back.

uses
  SynEdit.OptionsDialog, SynEdit.MiscClasses;

procedure TForm1.ActionOptionsExecute(Sender: TObject);
var
  Options: TSynEditorOptionsContainer;
begin
  Options := TSynEditorOptionsContainer.Create(Self);
  try
    Options.Assign(SynEdit1);               // from the editor to the container
    if SynEditOptionsDialog1.Execute(Options) then
      SynEdit1.Assign(Options);             // from the container to the editor
  finally
    Options.Free;
  end;
end;
