Hi Wanderlan -
A standard patch from a Diff would be fine. Yu can either post it on the
mailing list, or you can avoid annoying all the other recipients (!) by
sending direct to me at the above email. If you like I can make minor
alterations before committing.
Earliest undocumented ancestor of TStringGrid is TCustomGrid, so that
would be a good place to start. Please concentrate on the public or
published properties - anyway, these are the only ones that MakeSkel
will have put into the skeleton XML file.
Regards - Chris

Ok Chris,
I have noticed that you like to write ...
I will take the deepest ancestor to TStringGrid, not documented yet,
and will begin documenting from there. This approach is ok?
How would you prefer to receive the material to review it? Is a
standard patch ok? Or not? Perhaps XML, HTML, plain text...What will
be more productive for you?
TIA

Hi Wanderlan -
I have started at the 'ancestor' level of the LCL, and have produced
documentation for several of the Classes in Controls, mainly TControl,
TWinControl, TCustomControl; then I did some work on Dialogs, Forms
(TForm, TApplication, TScreen and TScrollBox) and Graphics (TBitMap,
TBrush, TCanvas, TPen). I have tried to concentrate on those public or
published properties and methods that are regularly found in descendant
classes, so that once defined in the ancestor the inherited property
need not be defined again (unless the descendant needs to override the
inherited property).
I then started to work on StdCtrls and Buttons, to describe the widgets
that are most frequently used in forms. I had already done some work on
StdCtrls, ComCtrls and ExtCtrls about two years ago, and Mattijs
Willemstein had also written some documentation, but then I got very
busy at work and was unable to do anything for a while. I am now back in
production!
I would be very grateful for your contributions to Grids, particularly
as this is an area that I understand only poorly! I should be more than
happy to help with 'English' problems, and our objective should be to
write code that will be easily translatable into other languages, once
we have got the basic information correct.
I look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
Regards - Chris

Hi Chris,
What you already documented?
You are alone in this?
What are your priorities? What should be documented next?
How english is not my native language, my texts' style can look a bit
convoluted...;}
