TReader Members Public Methods

Public Methods

	Name	Description
	AfterConstruction	Responds after the last constructor has executed.
	BeforeDestruction	Responds before the first destructor executes.
	BeginReferences	Starts a block of commands that read components that might contain references to other components.
	CheckValue	Checks that the next value to be read from the stream is of a specified type.
	ClassInfo	Returns a pointer to the runtime type information (RTTI) table for the object type.
	ClassName	Returns a string indicating the type of the object instance (as opposed to the type of the variable passed as an argument).
	ClassNameIs	Determines whether an object is of a specific type.
	ClassParent	Returns the type of the immediate ancestor of a class.
	ClassType	Returns the class reference for the object's class.
	CleanupInstance	Performs finalization on long strings, variants, and interface variables within a class.
	CopyValue	Copies data while reading components.
	Create	Creates a filer object.
	Create	Constructs an object and initializes its data before the object is first used.
	DefaultHandler	Provides the interface for a method that processes message records.
	DefineBinaryProperty	Defines binary data the reader object reads as if the data were a published property.
	DefineProperty	Defines data the reader object reads as if it were a published property.
	Destroy	Moves the current position of the stream back to the beginning before calling the inherited destructor.
	Dispatch	Calls message-handling methods for the object, based on the contents of the Message parameter.
	EndOfList	Indicates the end of a group of items that are sequentially read from the stream.
	EndReferences	Terminates a block of code that reads components from the reader object's stream that might contain references to each other.
	FieldAddress	Returns the address of a published object field.
	FixupReferences	Resolves references when streaming properties that are represented by another component.
	FlushBuffer	Synchronizes the reader's buffer with its stream's buffer.
	Free	Destroys an object and frees its associated memory, if necessary.
	FreeInstance	Deallocates memory allocated by a previous call to the System::TObject::NewInstance method.
	GetInterface	Retrieves a specified interface.
	GetInterfaceEntry	Returns the entry for a specific interface implemented in a class.
	GetInterfaceTable	Returns a pointer to a structure containing all of the interfaces implemented by a given class.
	InheritsFrom	Determines the relationship of two object types.
	InitInstance	Initializes a newly allocated object instance to all zeros and initializes the instance's virtual method table pointer.
	InstanceSize	Returns the size in bytes of each instance of the object type.
	MethodAddress	This is MethodAddress, a member of class TObject.
	MethodName	This is MethodName, a member of class TObject.
	NewInstance	Allocates memory for an instance of an object type and returns a pointer to that new instance.
	NextValue	Returns the type of the next item in the reader object's stream without moving the position of the stream.
	Read	Reads data from the associated stream.
	ReadBoolean	Reads a boolean from the reader object's stream and returns that boolean value.
	ReadChar	Reads a character from the reader object's stream and returns that character value.
	ReadCollection	Reads a collection from the reader object's stream and returns that character value.
	ReadComponent	Reads the component specified by Instance from the stream and returns the component.
	ReadComponents	Reads a list of owned components from the reader object's associated stream.
	ReadCurrency	Reads a Currency value from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadDate	Reads a TDateTime value from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadDouble	Reads a double type floating point number from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadFloat	Reads a floating-point number from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadIdent	Reads an identifier from the reader object's stream and returns the identifier.
	ReadInt64	Reads an 64-bit integer from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadInteger	Reads an integer-type number from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadListBegin	Reads a start-of-list marker from the reader object's associated stream.
	ReadListEnd	Reads an end-of-list marker from the reader object's associated stream.
	ReadPrefix	Reads preliminary information concerning form inheritance for a component.
	ReadRootComponent	Reads a component and all its owned components from the reader object's stream.
	ReadSignature	Reads the filer signature from the reader object's associated stream.
	ReadSingle	Reads a float value from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadStr	Reads one character from the reader object's stream and returns its contents.
	ReadString	Reads a tagged string value written by WriteString from the reader object's stream and returns its contents.
	ReadValue	Reads the type of the next item on the reader object's stream and returns with the stream positioned after the value-type indicator.
	ReadVariant	Reads a Variant value from the reader object's stream and returns its value.
	ReadWideChar	Reads a wide character from the reader object's stream and returns that character value.
	ReadWideString	Reads a tagged wide string value from the reader object's stream and returns its contents.
	SafeCallException	Handles exceptions in methods declared using the safecall calling convention.
	SkipValue	Skips the next value read from the stream.
