RTTI for KOL?

Has anyone worked on the RTTI for KOL yet?

I figure minimal conversion to get started would involve the Typinfo unit.. and so far it might be an easy conversion. There is a lot of ASM in typinfo.pas and no stringlists, etc.

If nobody has, I will start.. I need RTTi! It"s so useful in certain situations.

Of course since the way KOL is developed maybe none of the RTTI is possible? I shall maybe do reading before asking the question.

RTTI is a if not the major cause of code bloat! I have done some work on RTTI like behaveour using a PControl COM interface (i.e.the typelibrary is the RTTI information). What exactly do you need? Most RTTI related code can be replaced with plain KOL code: f.e. you can use my KOLXML unit to write simple and even more complex componentproperties to a file and read them back.

I looked in the archives and it appears Speller has already started on it but I couldn"t understand all of what he found out..

Well, what I was considering using it for is for the KOL IDE that we were going to start! Could we implement an object inspector easily, without something like RTTI for example?

I just have stranslated units Variants, VarUtils and TypeInfo to use them with KOL, but use with classes. Theese modules increases exe size on ~120 KBytes.

Well if we were making something large like an IDE for KOL then 120kbytes might not be so bad ;) ..

So you got the units working (to compile)? I didn"t want to re-work something someone has already done.

Lars,

Yes you can write an object inspector and I have even done just that. Since all information you need is in the control already.

Here's a link to an exe demo: http://www.thaddy.com/simple.zip
I am not yet prepared to release the code, since I need to integrate an editor, but it has already a KOL formsdesigner, objectinspector and component palette.
