{Copied from Delphi(6) help}
function ComponentToString(Component: TComponent): string;
var BinStream:TMemoryStream;
StrStream: TStringStream;
s: string;
begin
BinStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
StrStream := TStringStream.Create(s);
try
BinStream.WriteComponent(Component);
BinStream.Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
ObjectBinaryToText(BinStream, StrStream);
StrStream.Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
Result:= StrStream.DataString;
finally
StrStream.Free;
end;
finally
BinStream.Free
end;

function StringToComponent(Value: string): TComponent;
var StrStream:TStringStream;
BinStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
StrStream := TStringStream.Create(Value);
try
BinStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
ObjectTextToBinary(StrStream, BinStream);
BinStream.Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
Result := BinStream.ReadComponent(nil);

end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var Str : string;
begin
Str := ComponentToString(Panel1);
Panel2 := StringToComponent(Str); // the line with the error
end;
When compiling, I get the following error:
"Incompatible types: 'TPanel' and 'TComponent'"
Can anyone help ??, or provide alternative code to save Component
Properties.
