TROComplexType

Overview

TROComplexType forms the base class for all struct types defined in your library.

Use Case

You will usually not instantiate instances of this class itself, but use the descendant classes that will be auto-generated in your _Intf unit for every struct defined in your RODL file. These descendant classes will contain properties for all fields you defined in your RODL.

Location


 

constructor Create  reintroduce overload virtual

Creates a new instance.

constructor Create

constructor Create (TCollection)  overload override

Creates a new instance with given parameter.

constructor Create(aCollection: TCollection)

Parameters:

  • aCollection: collection

Assign  override

Copies data from a given source.

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • Source: Instance whose properties will be copied

AssignTo  override

Copies the properties of an object to a destination object.

procedure AssignTo(iDest: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • iDest: destination object.

Clone

Creates and returns a second copy of the struct.

The new instance will be a deep copy of the original struct, all nested members that are arrays, structs or binaries will be duplicated as part of the cloning process, so that the new instance and its members will be completely independent from the original class.

function Clone: TROComplexType
