Could you give an example of such custom data? I guess if I can't create
some custom property editor for it, I'll simply load it after the last
comment marker, but still in the AfterCreate method.

It's not impossible to add, but I think I should reiterate what the
fpGUI UI Designer was designed to be... Simple. I did not want it to be
a full blown IDE, so I didn't want it to generate code outside what
relates to building the UI. When I started fpGUI, there was no ui
designer, and I had to build a lot of forms by hand - totally
non-visual. This made me realise quickly I needed something better, but
still simple because I'm time constrained. For generating all the other
fancy code - well, that is what CodeTools, Code Completion, Code
Templates and whatever other fancy features Lazarus IDE has.
