RttiUtils unit

RTTI utility functions.

The rttiutils unit is a unit providing simplified access to the RTTI information from published properties using the TPropInfoList class. This access can be used when saving or restoring form properties at runtime, or for persisting other objects whose RTTI is available: the TPropsStorage class can be used for this. The implementation is based on the apputils unit from RXLib by AO ROSNO and Master-Bank
