The most important point to keep in mind us that the parameters need
to be
different (the result type does not count though!).
in this specific case, it will be one without any parameters (the
original in the 3rd party library) and one with parameters (my needed
modifications)...
That's valid :)
Note: In mode Delphi and a few other cases (e.g. cross unit overloads,
inheritance) you'll need to add the "overload" directive.
ahhh... i believe that the library i'm using does use mode delphi all
over the place... do i add "overload;" to each of the 'duplicate'
routines?
Yes.
For additional information please look at the language reference
guide (can't
look up the link currently).
i don't even know what to search for... although 'overload' may give
me a start...
It seems that overloading is only mentioned here:
