I need to stream references in DefineProperties. For those not familar with the streaming of TReader/TWriter:
For example TForm.ActiveControl is a class property and is a reference to TControl. TWriter simply writes the name of the control. TReader reads the identifier, but during streaming not all controls are created, so TReader saves this as ToDo in a FFixUps list and sets all references after loading. That's a great feature, but it is private. You can not use it in your DefineProperties. It seems Delphi has the same problem. Either I'm blind and TReader has already a solution or we need a public method. For example procedure TReader.AddFixUp(Instance: TPersistent; PropInfo: Pointer; const Ident: string); begin FFixups.Add(TPropFixup.Create(Instance, Root, PropInfo, '', Ident)); end; I can write a patch and test it.
