[ProgSoc] Re: Delphi: Exposing properties of private members

[Jay Banyer <jbanyer@nospam.progsoc.uts.edu.au>]

As far as I know, you can't do what you want to do.

The read/write methods of a property must specify a field/method that
belongs to the immediate class. You'll have to write pass-through
functions.

That's what I think anyway...

Cheers,
Jay.
