White Papers - Articles "Creating Synergistic Components with Delphi" James Callan - KOG Webzine Object-Oriented Programming fosters an inheritance paradigm, which can, without care, lead to marginally useful components and multiple object hierarchies. To realize all the exciting benefits that OOP offers, you must seek to create highly useful components that add value with minimal overhead. By better understanding and using the dynamic relationships between objects you can create synergistic components. This article demonstrates how you can dynamically overload event handlers to achieve better synergy and increase the value of your custom components. A simple macro component illustrates one synergistic component-creation technique that may help you to avoid "over-coding" your next Delphi masterpiece.
