Hi, I have another question regarding serialization. I need to stream child components, and here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Streaming_components it says that "TComponent extends TPersistent by the ability to have child components". The rest I figured from reading the RTL sources, and I'm wondering if I'm using a suboptimal solution, since I don't really use anything built into TComponent besides overriding one method which is empty in TComponent.
What I'm doing is I have my TComponent descendants keep a TComponentList of children (which are not necessarily owned by the parent), and then I overwrite the GetChildren(Proc ...) method and have it call Proc for every child in the list. I also introduce a private FParent field which I set manually when a component becomes the child of another component. Is that reinventing the wheel (probably with a flat tire), or should/can you do it this way? Cheers, thanks a lot Roland _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
