rtti Redeclaring property in a child class

[havrlisan 33]

Is it possible to know if a property is redeclared in a class or skip the original property entirely (the redeclared property would overwrite the original property in the Rtti)?

 

It's easier to explain through an example:

TMyClass = class
  strict private
    FInt: Integer;
  public
    property Int: Integer read FInt write FInt;
end;

TMyChild = class(TMyClass)
  published
    [RandomAttr]
    property Int;
end;

 

The Rtti will return 2 properties for TMyChild class, even though both have the same name. I haven't found any data in the TRttiProperty that would indicate that the property is redeclared.

 

Second question would be, if this is not possible: can I rely on the returned properties to be sorted by class inheritance? In other words, can I safely assume the returned array of properties would first contain properties of TMyChild, and then of TMyClass?

Should've searched at least a bit before asking this question.. Digging into TRttiType.GetProperties I found the method TRttiTypeHelper.GetObjectListInVisOrder, which does exactly what I'm asking here.

 

Original question still stands, although knowing this is enough to handle my scenario.
