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.
