AFAIK, "slice" is delphi comatibility function. Here's the description: http://delphi.about.com/library/rtl/blrtlSlice.htm "dispinterface", it also delphi compatiblity reserved name to define a dispatch-interface used with Windows COM. "slice" and "dispinterface" have been there long time ago. "strict" is introduced for new delphi compatibility? http://delphi.about.com/od/delphifornet/a/aa022404a_2.htm [quote] any member of a class (variable, method, property, ...) has a visibility attribute. In addition to "standard" Delphi visibility specifiers, Delphi for .Net adds two new access specifiers. Again, when you start a new FCL Windows Forms application, and look in the code that defines the main Form, you'll see two new "groups": strict private and strict protected. A member of a class declared with the strict private visibility is accessible only within the class in which it is declared - not visible to procedures or functions declared within the same unit. A member of a class declared with the strict protected visibility is accessible within the class in which it is declared, and within any descendant class. Here's an example: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ type TWinForm = class(System.Windows.Forms.Form) strict private Components: System.ComponentModel.Container; DataGrid1: System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid; procedure InitializeComponent; procedure TWinForm_Load(sender: System.Object; e: System.EventArgs) ; strict protected procedure Dispose(Disposing: Boolean) ; override; public constructor Create; end; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [/quote] thanks, dmitry _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
