Changes affecting compatibility
LCL incompatibility
LazControls incompatibility
TTreeFilterEdit
- The "Item" property of class TTreeFilterBranch has been changed
- Old: property Items: TStringList
- New: property Items: TStrings
TTreeFilterBranch = class
public
property Items: TStrings ...;
- TStringList exposed properties that - if changed - would have affected the correct operations of TTreeFilterBranch.
- If any code relied on properties not present in TStrings, then it should use a TStringlist of its own, and assign the results, once completely prepared.
- It is not possible to cast the "Items" property as "TStringList(FilterBranch.Items)". The underlying implementation does not use a Stringlist. Such a type-cast will crash.
