I'm writing an ORM framework and got stuck in a way to automatically determine table name from class name. In my base object for the ORM to work, I have: TghModel = class ... class var FTableName: String; class constructor Create; ... whose implementation is: class constructor TghModel.Create; begin FTableName := ClassName; Delete(FTableName,1,1); // Delete 'T' end; My assumption was that ClassName method will return the real class name. e.g. if I have: TUsers = class(TghModel) then FTableName will be initialized to TUsers instead of TghModel, which is wrong. I want to avoid users to make class constructor for each classes inheriting from TghModel, especially because the content would be totally the same as in TghModel.Create. Is there any way to implement it? -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/How-to-make-class-constructor-body-calls-descendant-s-overriden-method-property-tp5711994.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
