Inherits From:

TModelSelection, MDataExchanger, MEmbeddedComponentAccessor

Inherited By:

TGUIEmbedderModelSelectionFor

Purpose:

The class supports selection on a TGUIEmbedderModel. It provides protocol and implementation for selecting embedded components. It derives from MDataExchanger and MEmbeddedComponentAccessor and implements the protocol associated with these mixin classes. This enables the data exchange and frame layout command suites.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

Developers will usually derive from TGUIEmbedderSelectionFor rather than this class.

Concurrency:

Multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.

Other Considerations:

None.
