I've never heard of this "Control Generator" feature.

If I understand what you want to do, you want to move the datasources out
of the forms and centralise them in the datamodule, where the datasets are
located.

Simply cut (Ctrl-X) the datasource from the form and paste it (Ctrl-V) into
the datamodule. Adjust the properties; make sure that the form has the
datamodule in its "uses" clause; then re-link the controls on the form to
the appropriate datasources, using the drop-down in the dataset's Object
Inspector.

Don't forget to open the DPR file and move the datamodule's
Application.Create statement upward, so that it is created before any forms
that use it.
