TReader.EndOfList Method

Indicates the end of a group of items that are sequentially read from the stream.

Pascal

function EndOfList: Boolean;

C++

__fastcall Boolean EndOfList();

Description

EndOfList is used by other methods that iterate through a list of items when reading in data. It checks for a value type that signals the end of that type of data. EndOfList returns true if the reader object has read to the end of a list of items.

When reading a list of items, the reader object calls ReadListBegin method, then the items are repeatedly read until EndOfList returns true. Finally, the reader calls ReadListEnd.

Note: Component writers can use this in their defined property ReadData methods, as, for example, with TStrings.
