- First things first: I'm trying out a new newsreader (turn) so apologies
- if this post goes awry. The signature file at the bottom is correct but
- I'm not too sure about the headers at the top...
-
- I'd never even heard of a property until yesterday, and I dunno about Delphi,
- but in the Nov/Dec 95 issue of C++ Report there is an article on pp29-33 and
- p69 about a property template for C++ inspired by Delphi properties by Colin
- Hastie, so I guess we are talking about the same thing.
-
- I thought it was a good idea and might give it a try myself. As to whether
- it's what you people want, I cannot say. Hope this helps.
