I have a TFrame that is Inherited from a TBaseFrame = class(TFrame)
Inside this there is an embeded TFrame with same inheritence
TViewStandardMovimentoFinanceiro = class(TFrameBase)
ViewStandardEdiMovimentoFinanceiro1: TViewStandardEdiMovimentoFinanceiro;
TViewStandardEdiMovimentoFinanceiro = class(TFrameBase)
TFrameBase = class(TFrame, INaharView, INaharViewAdapter)
The TViewStandardMovimentoFinanceiro is created with parent set to the main form (particularly to a THorzScrollBox)
From INSIDE the TViewStandardMovimentoFinanceiro frame I tried the classical approach of using the Children list and have not found that embedded TFrame.
I have tried also using the Parent`s Children list with no success. Same thing with the Components List
What I want to do is to to locate all available TFrames so I can ask for an interface (I know how to do that)
What am I missing?
Following recommendations bellow I have implemented this code for testing:
function TFrameBase.LocateControl(AControl: TControl; ADomainName: string): TControlHandler;
var
NaharView: INaharView;
ControlHandler: TControlHandler;
i: integer;
begin
result := nil;
for i := 0 to AControl.ChildrenCount - 1 do
if (AControl.Children[i] is TFrame) and (AControl.Children[i] <> Self) then
if Supports((AControl.Children[i] as TFrame), INaharView, NaharView) then
begin
ControlHandler := NaharView.Control[ADomainName];
if Assigned(ControlHandler) then
exit(ControlHandler);
end;
end;
function GetUltimateParent(Control: TControl): TControl;
begin
if Control.Parent is TControl then
Result := GetUltimateParent(TControl(Control.Parent))
else
Result := Control;
end;
function TFrameBase.GetNaharControl(ADomainName: string): TControlHandler;
var
i: integer;
ControlHandler: TControlHandler;
begin
if NaharControls.ContainsKey(ADomainName) then
Exit(NaharControls.Items[ADomainName])
else
begin
ControlHandler := LocateControl(GetUltimateParent(Self), ADomainName);
if Assigned(ControlHandler) then
exit(ControlHandler);
end;
raise EViewControlDomainNameNotFound.Create(ADomainName);
end;
When LocateControl is executed it goes several levels to the top and from there it tries to iterate on Children List, it only contains 3 items in a form form full of controls.
Your function LocateControl need to be recursive, as stated by Ondrej. Something like this
function TFrameBase.LocateControl(AControl: TControl; ADomainName: string): TControlHandler;
var
NaharView: INaharView;
ControlHandler: TControlHandler;
i: integer;
begin
result := nil;
for i := 0 to AControl.ChildrenCount - 1 do
begin
if (AControl.Children[i] is TFrame) and (AControl.Children[i] <> Self) then
begin
if Supports((AControl.Children[i] as TFrame), INaharView, NaharView) then
begin
ControlHandler := NaharView.Control[ADomainName];
if Assigned(ControlHandler) then
begin
exit(ControlHandler);
end;
end;
end;
// recursive bit
Result := LocateControl(AControl.Children[i], ADomainName):
if assigned( Result ) then
begin
exit;
end;
end;
end;
