reading old delphi code

[deluser]

Hi, I am reading old delphi code for re-engineering purpose.

i found this

MainForm.FmainChain.sendasync(cmd)

1. I can understand MainForm is a form, but what is this FmainChan ?

2. sendasync() ,is this a function of FmainChan ?

Thanks

1. FMainChain is some kind of thing that is defined as a part of whatever MainForm is, specifically. If you want to know more, you need to figure out what MainForm is defined as.

2. yes.



It is not possible for anyone to acknowledge truth when their salary depends on them not doing it.

MainForm may be a unit name. It's possible FmainChain is a global variable declared in the unit MainForm.

MainForm may be a class object, which contains FmainChain as a public variable reference to another object (of unknown type) which contains sendasync as a method.

Control+Click is your friend. Control+Click anything in the Delphi IDE to jump to it's declaration.
