If I write button that has a generic property, then install it into Delphi, the published properties that are generic won't appear in the object inspector.
TGenericButton<T> = class(TButton)
private
FASomething: T;
FAnInteger: Integer;
published
property AnInteger: Integer read FAnInteger write FAnInteger;
property ASomething: T read FASomething write FASomething;
end;
TIntegerButton = class(TGenericButton<Integer>)
end;
procedure Register;
implementation
procedure Register;
begin
RegisterComponents('My Generic Components',[TIntegerButton]);
end;
In the object inspector, AnInteger property is visible, but ASomething property is not.
This is a bug isn't it, or something else?
Also, if you use TIntegerButton = TGenericButton<Integer>, instead of TIntegerButton = class(TGenericButton<Integer>), it can't name the components correctly, you get an error when placing them onto a form "GenericButton<System.Integer>1 is not a valid component name"
