Inheritance

Description

TCustomAbstractGroupedEdit is a TCustomControl descendant which implements a grouped edit control. TCustomAbstractGroupedEdit is composed of a TGEEdit control that provides an editor for the control value, and a related TControl descendant.

TCustomAbstractGroupedEdit basically acts as a container for the grouped controls, and ensures that Alignment and Anchoring are performed. TCustomAbstractGroupedEdit forwards relevant methods and properties to the BaseEditor or Buddy members, and receives event notifications from both.

Derived classes should implement their own BaseEditor and Buddy properties so that they will have the correct class types.

This description is the one of GroupedEdit.TCustomAbstractGroupedEdit.
