TComponent.ValidateInsert Method
TComponent Class | TComponent Members | Classes Namespace | Description | See Also
Collapse All

Provides the interface for a method that validates an child component before it is inserted.

Pascal
procedure ValidateInsert(AComponent: TComponent); dynamic;
C++
__fastcall ValidateInsert(TComponent * AComponent);
Description

ValidateInsert does nothing in TComponent. Descendant classes can override it to disallow a component from accepting an object as a child. By default ValidateInsert allows any object to be inserted into the component.  

If a component needs to validate only certain objects, descendant classes can override ValidateInsert to filter out those objects. To disallow an insertion, raise an exception in the derived method.
