I am trying to basically recreate the Delphi Object Inspector for use at
runtime for editing properties of a selected component.
My researching has brought me to the RTTI.  The problem I am having is
reading and writing a component's property values.  I can use the GetProc
and SetProc functions to return the pointers to the read and write methods
but I don't know what to do with them.  I don't know how to call the methods
once I have the pointers to them.
Can anyone help me with this?  And/or Is there a better way to go about
(recreating) the object inspector for runtime?  I am using Delphi4.  Thanks
in advance for your help.
Chris
