This topic covers the implementation details of TmcOneLineTabsOptions.
Scope: TypeDefinitions.pas; record. Prepared from the curated implementation supplied for this review on 2 October 2026.
Combines box and month tab options for one-line mini-calendars. Enabled selectors and nested option records are distinct; use the per-branch emission rules below.
Notation and shared helper rules: Reading this reference.
Literal rec_type values emitted within these routines: TmcOneLineTabsOptions. Nested values may belong to child wrappers rather than this owner itself; the attribute entries below give their exact locations.
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.
@rec_type
XML representation: The rec_type attribute.
Writing: Stores the literal text “TmcOneLineTabsOptions” whenever the writer reaches this field.
Enabled
XML representation: The text of the Enabled element.
Initial value: false (TmcOneLineTabsOptions.Initialize).
Reading: Reads the element into Enabled when the record node exists.
Writing: Stores true or false according to false when AlreadyDisabled is true.
Writing: Stores true or false according to Enabled when AlreadyDisabled is false.
LeftRightSame
XML representation: The text of the LeftRightSame element.
Initial value: true (TmcOneLineTabsOptions.Initialize).
Reading: Reads the element into LeftRightSame when the record node exists; Enabled is true.
Writing: Stores true or false according to LeftRightSame when AlreadyDisabled is false; Enabled is true.
