Add Component to tool palette in Data Module

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to add tools to a data module's tool palette.

On a standard form under 'data access' tools I have a number of 'TXML' tools, however these aren't under 'data access' tools on a data module.

Can I add these or not?

Thanks,

I don't know if you can add them to the tool palette, but you can use them if you create the objects yourself like in the example below.

unit Unit2;

interface

uses
  System.SysUtils, System.Classes,Xml.xmldom, Xml.XMLIntf,
  Xml.XMLDoc;

type
  TDataModule2 = class(TDataModule)
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
    procedure test;
  end;

var
  DataModule2: TDataModule2;

implementation

{%CLASSGROUP 'Vcl.Controls.TControl'}

{$R *.dfm}

{ TDataModule2 }

procedure TDataModule2.test;
var
  xml :TXMLDocument;
begin
try
   xml :=  TXMLDocument.Create();
finally 
   xml.Free;
end;
end;

end.

I've added to use the units for the XMLDocument, then i've created the object myself.
