Hello, Let's consider the following code fragment: -------------------------------------------------- type
TMyRecord = record Name : String; Value : Integer; end; TMyClass = class(TObject) private FButton : TButton; FRecord : TMyRecord; public property RecordName : String read FRecord.Name write FRecord.Name; // compiles property ButtonWidth: Integer read FButton.Width write FButton.Width; // does not compile end; -------------------------------------------------- Is it really too hard to make the compiler understand properties with the second type of declaration as the ButtonWidth example? I would prefer this to -------------------------------------------------- property ButtonWidth: Integer read GetButtonWidth write SetButtonWidth; function <class name>.GetButtonWidth: Integer; begin Result := FButton.Width; end; procedure <class name>.SetButtonWidth(const AValue: Integer); begin FButton.Width := AValue; end; -------------------------------------------------- Please state your comments on this idea. Is it good or not? Is this something that you would like to have as a feature? Is it able to be implemented? How? Maybe using hidden Get/Set methods? Thanks. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
