Methods

Name	Description
AddConstant	Deprecated. Use DefineProp instead.
AddDelphiObjectProp	Declare the object specified by AObject as a property in the class, accessible through the name AName. You can then access AObject instance from script as if it was a property of another object.
AddEnumeration	Deprecated. Use DefineProp instead.
AddObject	Deprecated. Use DefineProp instead.
AddVariable	Overloaded AddVariable(string, Variant) AddVariable(string, Extended) AddVariable(string, Double) AddVariable(string, string) AddVariable(string, WideString) AddVariable(string, Integer) AddVariable(string, Boolean)
CastFromString	Returns the TatClass corresponding to AClassName, provided the current class is a descendant of it.
ClassMethodByName	Returns the TatMethod object associated with the class method specified by AName. If such method doesn't exist, ClassMethodByName returns nil.
ClassPropertyByName	Returns the TatProperty object associated with the class property specified by AName. If such property doesn't exist, ClassPropertyByName returns nil.
DefineBooleanProp	Declares a boolean property. See DefineProp for more details.

DefineObjectProp	Declares an object property. See DefineProp for more details.
DefineProp	Registers a new property in the class. You don't need to register published properties since they are imported automatically by Delphi scripter.

DefineVariantProp	Declares a variant property. See DefineProp for more details.
MethodByName	Returns the TatMethod object associated with the method specified by AName. If such method doesn't exist, MethodByName returns nil.
