Class "crackers" only give access to protected members - well in Delphi at any rate. type TCrackControl = class(TControl); var _label: TLabel; ... TCrackControl(_label).Text := 'I can do this now'; This is pointless as the Text and Caption of a label map to the same internal data, but using this method it demonstrates access to internals. As to why Borland made a distinction between Caption and Text properties.. another debate ;-) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
