Ok.
First off tag should be revised to match Delphi.
Second. I need data property on Tcomponent
I propose having an additional directive for this mechanism kind of like
the option for using large strings. Components have data property. This
way I can just get it into the Laz dialog.
How about that?
If we start adding new properties, directives, keywords etc on every such
request, the end result will deserve only placing into trash.
TComponent already allows
a) Using Tag property to store indices into array or other container of data
of any type;
b) Using Components property to store any number of child components, which
are owned, named, can notify and be notified of insertion and deletion.
Regarding the Tag type, the fact we're tied up with that "Delphi
compatibility" is quite unfortunate. I wonder how they are going to maintain
compatibility between 32 and 64 bit versions.
They do the same as we:
They introduced something like PtrInt (using of course a different name)
and made tag equal to this type.
Instead of biting the bullet and telling people to code properly.
But like most companies, they are a bit of a prostitute in this regard.
