What's the simplest way to override a property's default value?
I'm trying to write a TCustomDBGrid descendant that's designed to feel like a TListBox. One of the things I want to change is the Options property's defaults. TCustomDBGrid defines Options as:
property Options: TDBGridOptions read FOptions write SetOptions
default [dgEditing, dgTitles, dgIndicator, dgColumnResize, dgColLines, dgRowLines, dgTabs, dgConfirmDelete, dgCancelOnExit];
Trying to override that in my class with
property Options: TDBGridOptions default
[dgTitles, dgTabs, dgRowSelect, dgAlwaysShowSelection, dgCancelOnExit];
doesn't work; the compiler expects *read* or *write* after the type, not *default*. Problem is, FOptions and SetOptions are both defined as private, not protected, in TCustomDBGrid.
Do I have to write my own get and set methods that invoke "*inherited* Options", or is there a simpler way?

It has absolutely no effect at run time, and it does not change the value of any property. > doesn't work; the compiler expects *read* or *write* after the type, not *default*.

Since you haven't actually changed what the initial value will be for that property, you'll still need to write some code. Do it in the constructor: begin inherited; Options := NewDefaultOptions; end; Any forms that were using the old set of default options will get the new set the next time the form is loaded (at design time or run time). This is because the Options property was never saved for that form anyway, due to the "default" directive on the original property declaration. -- Rob
