A Delphi component library featuring TzObjectInspector, a powerful object inspector with IDE-like look and feel.
zControls is a Delphi component library that provides TzObjectInspector, a powerful object inspector component for editing object properties within Delphi applications. It replicates the look and functionality of the Delphi IDE's object inspector, allowing developers to integrate property editing directly into their software. The component solves the need for a familiar, feature-rich property editor in custom Delphi applications.
Delphi developers building applications that require embedded property editing interfaces, particularly those creating development tools, configuration utilities, or applications with complex object customization needs.
Developers choose zControls because it provides a production-ready object inspector with the exact look and feel of the Delphi IDE, eliminating the need to build custom property editors from scratch. Its extensive feature set—including multi-object editing, VCL style support, and custom property registration—makes it the most comprehensive open-source object inspector for Delphi.

Enables simultaneous property editing across multiple selected objects, improving productivity in complex configuration tasks, as demonstrated in the README.
Supports custom property registration and action notify features, allowing tailored editing experiences and permission management for specialized needs.
The library focuses solely on TzObjectInspector with no additional controls, which may necessitate integrating other libraries for comprehensive UI functionality.
The README provides basic features and screenshots but lacks detailed tutorials, API references, or code examples, making advanced customization challenging.
Exclusively designed for Delphi VCL applications, with no support for other frameworks or platforms, limiting its applicability in cross-platform or non-Delphi projects.
