On http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/classes/tcomponent.componentstate.html the following description is found > csInline The component is being loaded as part of a frame Now looking at the code, I end up with the impression, that csInline is actually not refering to "part" of frame (which I read: component owned/nested in a frame), but rather applies to the frame itself? (or any component owning it's children. Line in ReadCompnent: if csInline in Result.ComponentState then FLookupRoot := Result; and other places too. A component that has csInline, becomes the root for all nested components Also "is being loaded". csInline is also used in Writer => so it does not seem restricted to being loaded ? Am I missing something essential, or is the documentation misleading?
