# TComponent.SetDesigning

Sets the csDesigning state of the component.

## Declaration

`protected procedure TComponent.SetDesigning(`
`Value: Boolean`
`);`

## Description

SetDesigning includes or excludes the csDesigning flag in the ComponentState set property, depending on the boolean Value. The flag is set recursively for all owned components as well.

This is normally only done during the streaming system, and should not be called directly by an application programmer.
