As said in an earlier mail I have problems streaming the property

Some discussion on #fpc led to the conclusion that streaming a readonly
persistant should be allowed, because you write to the properties of the
readonly persistant property.
Attached is a proposal to fix it.
Delphi does not stream readonly properties. So we won't either.
The proper solution for this is support for csSubComponent in TComponent.
Can you elaborate a bit, what you mean by that? What should be changed and
where?
Delphi has a ComponentState csSubComponent. This flag should be set
if you publish a property of type TComponent, and the TComponent instance
is 'owned' by the object that publishes it, i.e. it's NOT a reference to
an other existing TComponent.
The owned TComponent has 'csSubComponent' in it's componentstyle. This tells
delphi to stream the component's properties as part of it's owning component,
and not just a reference to it.
The IDE will need support for this, as well TComponent and the streaming system.
(The latter part is probably the easy part ;) )
So far so good.
The IDE supports this (no drop downbox in the IO, but you can expand to
set the owned component's properties). The owned component has the
csSubComponent in its component style:
Include(FEditLabel.ComponentStyle, csSubComponent);
Include(FEditLabel.ControlStyle, csNoDesignSelectable);
So where should the streaming occur?
Should I amend to patch to allow streaming properties of readonly
subcomponents?
