Hi, I'm wondering how to set a custom driver object for TReader instances. Both in TReader and TWriter the Driver property is read-only, but in TWriter I can at least use the alternative constructor which takes a TAbstractObjectWriter. TReader only has the constructor which takes a TStream and a buffer size Integer. Why is that?
Actually, this slightly ugly snippet from LResources/CreateLRSReader shows that I'm not the only one trying to do this (where Result is a TReader instance): // hack to set a write protected variable. // DestroyDriver:=true; TReader will free it Driver:=LRSObjectReaderClass.Create(s,4096); p:=...@result.driver; Result.Driver.Free; TAbstractObjectReader(p^):=Driver; Any hints why this is implemented as it is, and whether there are cleaner ways of using custom drivers would be highly appreciated.
