Hi, Lexa!

You have to create a derived component based on TADOQuery and surface
the CommandTimeout property.

Create a new package process to start creating the component.

Use the Component | New Component menu entry to create the component.
Base it on TADOQuery and store it and the project in the same directory.

In the header file add

__property CommandTimeout;

This surfaces the protected property.

Then use the Project Manager window (View | Project Manager) and right
click on the project. Pick "Install" to put the component on the
palette.

Now you can use the component anywhere you might use a TADOQuery.

If you have a form or (better) a data module with a number of TADOQuery
objects that you want to have be (say) TADOQueryWithTimeout objects, you
can right click on the form / data module and "View As Text". Then
search and replace TADOQuery with TADOQueryWithTimeout and "View As
Form". When you do this, the IDE will prompt you to change the entries
in the header file, and you are safe doing a "Yes to All".

I hope this helps.
