[lazarus] Where is Classe.pp (lazarus)

[Shane Miller]

CVS has been updated with my latest code with TRadioButtons in it.

Remember that if you create a component, and do an AddControl then it changes, we will need to look and see if we need to do a RemoveControl from the owner, then destroy it and rebuild it.  The state of the control should remain constant because we aren't destroying the class itself that is holding it's properties.  

Anyone understand that gibberish?

Problem: The RadioButton needs to access a "group" item so it knows what group it's in when it's created.  However, the "group" property doesn't exist in TControl or TWinControl so either I have to create one (which is kind of a waste because nothing else uses it) or I have to actually create the component in the TRadioButton class.

If I create the component in the TRadioGroup class, then how do I know when to destroy it and re-construct it when , for example, the caption changes?  See if the caption changes, the radiobutton has to be recreated because gtk doesn't give you the ability to simply change the label for a radiobutton.  You have to set the label when you create it.

So, should I move "group" all the way down, or is there a way (?virtual function?) to notify a child class of a change caused by the parent .............Can TControl call something in TRadioButton....
