is-operator

What is translated > Operators > is-operator

In C++ test with dynamic_cast corresponds to the is operator for the dynamic type check in Delphi.

ActiveControl is TEdit  

->  

std::dynamic_cast<TEdit*>(ActiveControl)

If the overwritten System.pas is used, the is-operator is substituted by the macro, ObjectIs :

ObjectIs( ActiveControl, TEdit* )

ObjectIs is defines as:

#define ObjectIs(xObj, xIs) dynamic_cast< xIs >( xObj )

If a VCL class is tested for a Meta-class, the translated code looks like:

Obj->ClassNameIs( targetClass->ClassName() )
