Hi, FPC does not support copy-construction so either you must override the TPersistent.Assign method or in case of TComponent you can use ReadComponent/WriteComponent.
You should also take into account deep vs swallow copy semantics as well as the type of the container and contained classes (TPersistent/TCmponent/TCollection descendant). For records I am not sure, probably you should need a method on the container or check on some internal (compiler magic) functions such as CopyRecord and others. Hope that helps.
