Is it possible to use RTTI or some other neat trick to do the following..
I have a configuration object thats wrapping properties around an ini file,
I have say 10+ boolean properties, and IMHO having 10 get/set routines that
do exactly the same thing with a different label just sucks, and isn't that
great for ease of maintainability (esp. if the configurable items goes way
further.
Is it possible to do something like:
type
TMyObject = class
private
function GetBool: Boolean;
procedure SetBool(Value: Boolean);
public
property Bool1: Boolean read GetBool write SetBool;
property Bool2: Boolean read GetBool write SetBool;
end;
....
procedure TMyObject.SetBool(Value: Boolean);
var
Key: String;
begin
Key := <insert code to find what property I'm setting>;
IniFile.WriteBool('Options', Key, Value);
end;
function TMyObject.GetBool: Boolean;
var
Key: String;
begin
Key := <insert code to find what property I'm getting>;
Result := IniFile.ReadBool('Options', Key, False);
end;
Is this possible?
Failing that, is this possible:
function GetBool(Key: String): Boolean;
procedure SetBool(Key: String; Value: Boolean);
property Bool1: Boolean read GetBool('bool1key') write
SetBool('bool1key');
???
