Base class of all classes. |
TRecall is a helper class used to copy published properties of a class (the reference object) in another class (the storage object). The reference object and storage object must be assignable to each other.
The TRecall can be used to store the state of a persistent class, and restore it at a later time.
When a TRecall object is created, it gets passed a reference instance and a storage instance. It immediatly stores the properties of the reference object in the storage object.
The Store method can be called throughout the lifetime of the reference object to update the stored properties.
When the TRecall instance is destroyed then the properties are copied from the storage object to the reference object. The storage object is freed automatically.
If the properties should not be copied back from the storage to the reference object, the Forget can be called.
