Very ingeniuos, I believe this is as close to a solution as I can get
for now.
But there are still a few probles I can see:
- there is no way to "prefix" symbols within a unit, that I know of.
Symbols may only be prefixed by the unit name directly. Is there a
sort of a "namespace" in Pascal ?
- if I make a wrapper unit around the third-party one, there is
alredy little need for a prefix, since I can expose only the
symbols I know of and that I use.
- I find it even more tedious to do the same thing with the System
unit or the standard Pascal units.
And then, if wrapper unit publicly uses the third-party unit, doesn't
that mean that all symbols in the thrid-party unit are now automatically
exposed and public in the wrapper unit ?
If so, is there a way to expose and make public the types, classes,
variables and functions from a private (implementation) unit ?
Thank you,
Timothy Madden
