When I try to compile the following the compiler returns the error
"incompatible types":
Result := inherited; // or simply: inherited;
For your information, I wanted to follow the above with:
Result.Filter := GetFilter;
Result.Filtered := Result.Filter <> '';
Oh, and if you haven't already guessed it, the method that I'm overriding is
a function returning a TDataSet.
To get around this I thought that I could simply call inherited on its own,
but even that generates the same error.
OK, so I'm not completely lost as why I get this error since I would say
that inherited **always** behaves like a procedure-like call and as such
doesn't (sadly) return a type.
Any suggestions to why this is and/or solutions around it? By the way,
rewriting the function as a procedure with a var parameter is (I reckon)
ugly as since it doesn't clearly define who is responsible for creating the
object.
