This topic covers the implementation details of TBoxZorderRec.

 

Scope: TypeDefinitions.pas; record. Prepared from the curated implementation supplied for this review on 2 October 2026.

 

Action is SendToBack=0, SendBackward=1, DoNothing=2, BringForward=3 or BringToFront=4. Offset is an additional integer. The enclosing macro box action must select z-order for this record to be used.

 

Notation and shared helper rules: Reading this reference.

 

XML identity and composition

 

Literal rec_type values emitted within these routines: TBoxZorderRec. Nested values may belong to child wrappers rather than this owner itself; the attribute entries below give their exact locations.

 

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.

 

Action

 

XML representation: The text of the Action element.

 

Initial value: xbzDoNothing (2) (TBoxZorderRec.Initialize).

 

Reading: Reads the element into Action when the record node exists.

 

Writing: Stores the numeric value of Action (see the value table below) whenever the writer reaches this field.

 

Offset

 

XML representation: The text of the Offset element.

 

Initial value: 1 (TBoxZorderRec.Initialize).

 

Reading: Reads the element into Offset when the record node exists.

 

Writing: Stores the numeric value of Offset whenever the writer reaches this field.

 

@rec_type

 

XML representation: The rec_type attribute.

 

Writing: Stores the literal text “TBoxZorderRec” whenever the writer reaches this field.

 

Initialization and reset values

 

TBoxZorderRec.Initialize

 

 

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.

 

 

Implementation details

 

The Implementation toggle contains only TBoxZorderRec methods. Initializers and helpers belonging to other types are identified separately below. Shared XML-helper limitations are explained in Reading this reference.
