Does TObject have all the capabilities of TComponent apart from things like streaming and being used from the IDE component palette?
I want to create an object which has all the capabilities like getting and setting properties, and I want to know whether I need to inherit from TObject or from something further down the hierarchy. Another aspect is ownership. Does ownership require objects to be derived from TComponent? Is a TPersistent adequate if manipulating the object from the IDE isn't needed? Last but not the least, is the FreePascal TObject/TComponent system more or less the same as Delphi's, or are there some major differences? PS. I asked this question in the Lazarus forum, but on reflection it is a FreePascal question and belongs here instead. -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
