Hi, While looking at the LCL-fpGUI code for a reply to a previous message, I noticed something...
Is it really necessary for LCL-fpGUI to use COM-style interfaces? After all, TFGGUIPrivate overrides the COM memory management anyway. So wouldn't it be better and probably more efficient to simply use CORBA-style interfaces instead? I'm not well versed in the LCL-fpGUI widgetset code, so if there really is an advantage to using COM-style interface in this widgetset, would somebody so kind as to explain those advantages. Many thanks. ---8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<----------- ⋮ type IContainer = interface(IInterface) procedure AddChild(AWidget: TfpgWidget); procedure RemoveChild(AWidget: TfpgWidget); end; TFPGUIPrivate = class(TInterfacedObject) function _AddRef : longint;stdcall; function _Release : longint;stdcall; end; ⋮ ---8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<----------- Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
