Just remember a component is an object is an pointer. When you're passing a component as a "var" parameter you're passing a pointer to it's pointer (double dereference). That's wistful unless your procedure specifically needs to change the pointer itself.
Passing an parameter as "const" or a simple parameter (no const, no var) probably makes little difference to the execution speed of your application. Using/not using "const" would be down to personal preference. -- Cosmin Prund > -----Mesaj original----- > De la: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] În > numele Stewart, James > Trimis: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 6:03 PM > Către: [email protected] > Subiect: Proper way to pass components as parameters? > > This is more of a general question than a question concerning a > problem. > > What do you all consider the best way to pass components (TDataSet, > TTabControl, etc) as parameters to a function or procedure call? > > VAR, CONST, or by Value?
