Interface Category:

API.

Inherits From:

MCollectible

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

TLocalizableName is a concrete class which defines the protocol for accessing the name of an object. Objects may have two forms of identification: an internal id (or programmer name) that uniquely identifies the object, and a set of localizable names. For example the French keyboard may have the "programmer-name" of "FR", and the localized names "French" (English locales), and "Francais" (French locales).

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

TLocalizableName is a concrete class designed to be used directly. It can be derived to provide additional functionality. There are no special requirements for deriving.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.
