C++ code outside curling braces

[kalbun]

Suppose I have a class like this:

class TAmbient : public TTabSheet
{...}

If TTabSheet constructor has no parameters, then I don't need to define TAmbient constructor because:

TAmbient* Ambient = new TAmbient

is OK (the compiler automagically generates the ancestor's constructor).

But suppose TTabSheet constructor requires a parameter : in this case I need to write an explicit constructor, which source code is something like:

__fastcall TAmbient::TAmbient(TComponent* AOwner)
: TTabSheet(AOwner)
{
...
}

Now the question : how to do it with EA? If I write code outside the curling braces, it is deleted each time the source code is generated!!

ok, enough for now...

Happy X-Mas and Peace to everyone!!

What you need to do is create a tagged value on your constructor called "initializer".  In the value put TTabSheet(AOwner).

Alternatively put <memo> in the value field so that you can put a much larger amount of initialization data in.

Merry Christmas to you too.
