TAbstractResource.ChangeDescValueAllowed function

Member of TAbstractResourceprotectedIn unit resource

Reports whether changing the value of resource type or name is allowed

Declaration

pascal
function ChangeDescValueAllowed(aDesc: TResourceDesc): Boolean
 ; virtual; abstract

Arguments

aDesc

The TResourceDesc whose value should be changed

Function result

True if the resource allows the given TResourceDesc to change value

Description

Descendant classes must implement this method to declare if the resource allows changing the value of one of its resource description (type or name).

Example:

A certain resource class allows its name only to be changed: e.g. a TBitmapResource doesn't want its type to be anything else than RT_BITMAP. It then allows changing the value of the description only if the description is the resource name:

Result:=aDesc=fName;
