Enumerating published properties and subproperties in Delphi

问题


Apologies if the question was asked before. I have some definition of some components as follows (please guide me if it's wrong, because I'm a beginner). What I am trying, is to enumerate all published properties of the derived components, particularly the sub-properties. I am able to enumerate the names of the properties, however, is it possible to enumerate the published properties for which I can access the elements (as in the sub-properties) during the execution of the program? something like returning properties one-by-one like getfirst / getnext until to the end?

type
  TStringArray = array of string;

  TGenericColumnDef = class(TPersistent)
  private
    fColumnName        : String;
    fColumnNumber      : Integer;
    fColumnDisplay     : string;
    fColumnDescription : string;
    fColumnDataType    : integer;
    fColumnEditorType  : integer;
 //   fMyEvent: TNotifyEvent;
  protected
  public
    constructor create(AOwner: TComponent); virtual;
  published
    property ColumnName   : String read fColumnName write fColumnName;
    property ColumnNumber : integer read fColumnNumber write fColumnNumber;
    //property MyEvent: TNotifyEvent read fMyEvent write fMyEvent;
  end;

 TGenericAsset = class(Tcomponent) //TPersistent
  private
   { Private declarations }
   fCiteID        : TGenericColumnDef;
   fCiteType      : TGenericColumnDef;
   fTitle         : TGenericColumnDef;
   fAuthor        : TGenericColumnDef;

   fPropertyCount : integer;
   function GetPropertyCount    : integer;
   function GetNextPropertyIndex: integer;
   property CountProperties     : integer read GetPropertyCount;// write fPropertyCount
  protected
   { Protected declarations }
   FOwner: TObject;
  public
   { Public declarations }
   constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
   destructor  destory ; virtual;
   function    GetColumnNameByColumnNumber(ColumnNumber : Integer) : String;
   function    GetColumnNames : TStringArray;
//   function    GetFirst : TGenericColumnDef;
  published
   property CiteID   : TGenericColumnDef read fCiteID write fCiteID;
   property CiteType : TGenericColumnDef read fCiteType write fCiteType;
   property Title    : TGenericColumnDef read fTitle write fTitle;
   property Author   : TGenericColumnDef read fAuthor write fAuthor;
   //property Nthproperty .........
 end;

//derived from TGenericAsset
type
 TEditedBook = class(TGenericAsset)
  private
  protected
  public
  published
   property CiteID   : TGenericColumnDef read fCiteID write fCiteID;
   property Title    : TGenericColumnDef read fTitle write fTitle;
   property Author   : TGenericColumnDef read fAuthor write fAuthor;
 end;

Any points or guidelines (sample code) is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

While it doesn't specifically answer your question, the code below (donated to the old Borland Delphi newsgroups a few years ago by Dr. Peter Below of TeamB) shows how to use RTTI to clone another component. It shows how to get (and set) sub-properties like other objects, enumerated types, and so forth. It should be enough to get you started. I've left Peter's comments in the code, as well as a sample of using it in the form of some sample code below the function. (I've also preserved his code formatting and strange letter casing of some keywords. :)

// Unfortunately there is no easy way to "clone" a component in a way that
// will also preserve event handlers. It can be done using run-time type
// information and routines form the TypInfo unit, though. Try the following
// routine. It is only superficially tested.

Uses TypInfo;

{-- CloneComponent ----------------------------------------------------}
{: Make a copy of a component.
@Param anObj is the component to copy
@Param cloneChildren if true and anObj is a TWincontrol then all its
  child controls will also be copied.
@Param aParent is the parent to use if anObj is a TControl.
@Returns the new object reference. It will have the same owner as anObj
  and passes into the responsibility of the caller.
@Precondition anObj <> nil
@Desc The method creates a new object of the same class as anObj and then
  uses TypInfo routines to copy all published properties. The logic used
  for object properties is similar to what the form loading code uses:
  if a property refers to a TComponent the component reference is copied.
  If it refers to a TPersistent descendent the Assign method is used
  to copy the objects contents. Currently TCollections do not receive
  any special treatment, which may be necessary. <BR>
  Note: the routine will not copy any objects *owned* by anObj, so it
  cannot be used as is to clone a top-level container like a form,
  frame, or datamodule. Those can be copied using WriteComponent and
  ReadComponent with a TMemoryStream.
