OK next question
Let's say I have a class defined as follows
type Class X = class (TPersistent)
//attributes
...
//operations
procedure Assign (Source: TPersistent); override;
OK I need an Assign procedure so in accordance with what I know about
TPersistent I have to override the inherited Assign operation.
procedure X.Assign(Source: TPersistent);
...
The problem comes when I try to access the properties of Source, which the
compiler says are undeclared. The following have all been tried with various
problems:
procedure X.Assign(Source: X); //declaration differs from inherited
with Source as X do //Still can't access any properties
Source := X(Source); //Still can't access any properties
As of this moment I went back to using a TObject and declaring an Assign
procedure which, since there is no inherited Assign to override, works just
fine.
