Add a
property to each of the components which you set to the other component at
design time. Thay way they will know about each other.

Subject: [DUG]: Basic question on
custom components
Hi, I'm trying to write my first custom component and
have come across a problem I'm positive it's common and easy to solve
- but
I'm
not familiar with how.
I have a form with an existing custom
component on it (written in the past by someone else). The form resides in
MainUnit.pas and the existing custom component
resides
in
UVObject.pas. I've created a new component with the class residing
in TableObject.pas.
From an instance of my new component (TUVTable,
dropped
on the
form), I need to call methods of the instance of the TUVObject
component on my form. In TUVTable.pas I could
add a
uses clause, MainUnit, and then call MainUnit.UVObject1.method
- so allowing communication between the 2 component instances. This is silly as
if the user of my component has named their unit something other than MainUnit,
then it won't work.
How do I enable intercommunication between
2 component instances on my form?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Dave
