Hi

I have done some work on the "TestAllComponent" app, but nothing to post yet....
I found some missing properties/procedures and now I wonder: Is the plan that the components will be Delphi5 compatible ? That is could I add properties/procedures that Delphi5 don't have ?

Best regards

Chris

Think it should be as compatible as possible, but this does'nt mean you can't implement additional features.

That is could I add properties/procedures that Delphi5 don't have ?

You can add those properties but should keep in mind that

- we want to keep the lcl independent from any specific widget-set (so be careful adding GTK-specific stuff)
- such things should be well documented (specially if they depend on a specific widget-set)
- we should have a focus on getting things up'n running (My suggestion: Don't add properties that are hard to implement)

bye,

Stefan
