Every time this happens, I have complained as it being a bug - and low and
behold in the next release it has usually become "protected" instead of
private ..
It has paid to complain ....
I usually just have a changed version classes.pas etc that contains the
required fixes - just have to reapply at each version upgrade ..
You have to do this anyway to fix some bugs ..

Frustrating.
Does anyone else find that Borland are a bit too fanatical about hiding
things away as private declarations?
I've lost track of the number of times I wanted to extend something only to
find the internal bits I needed were private. Sometimes you can get around
it, but it's never as elegant as it could be. Would it hurt to have a few
more things visible - perhaps a few read only protected properties would do?
Just an idea...
