This topic covers the implementation details of TGenerationOptions.
Scope: cpGenerationOptions.pas; class derived from TBtnEditProperty. Prepared from the curated implementation supplied for this review on 2 October 2026.
Large script line property whose reader explicitly seeds most individual import values. The quick initialization table describes creation; the per-field Reading paragraphs describe import. They are not always equal: UseLegacyMinicalBoxesProcessing is true in Create and false before its XML read.
Several export fields are conditional, including legacy settings. XML identifiers can differ from member names: NewTextOverflowChecking stores TextOverflow, for example. ForceAnsi is forced false in the reader and its XML read is commented out.
LoadFromIniSettings can override constructor settings when the global switch allows it; that routine was not supplied. Checkbox-state ordinals use a separate three-state namespace, not ordinary true/false strings. BleedBox and SlugBox use TBoundsRect.
Notation and shared helper rules: Reading this reference.
No literal rec_type value is emitted directly by the selected routines. A property envelope, an inherited writer or a delegated record can supply its identifying attributes.
Inherited implementation: TBtnEditProperty. Follow it when the ordered behavior invokes inherited methods; inherited fields are not repeated as locally owned fields.
Structures used directly by this XML implementation:
Exact XML fields and attributes
The paths below start at this record or property node. A slash identifies a child element; @ identifies an attribute. Curly braces mark a variable index or expression, not literal XML text. Initial values describe initialization; they do not establish what an omitted individual element does. The Implementation toggle below contains the supplied routines for exact branch order and conversions.

Value namespaces used by this implementation
These are declared Pascal ordinal values. Use the ordinal only where the field serializer actually writes ord(...), an integer cast or an equivalent value. Set-marker strings and local option lists have their own representation; sentinel members in an enum are not automatically legal XML choices.

Storage declarations relevant to interpretation
These are in-memory member and property types, not a list of mandatory XML children. They retain array bounds, fixed buffers and selector types. The field reference above defines what is actually serialized.
