7.31 DEFINE_COM

This command is inserted automatically as you drag components to be included in the component being edited.

DEFINE_COM defines instances of other components to be included in the component being edited.

In addition to the class and the name of the component, this command shows all property values for which default values have been overridden.

In Functions that are running as *HEAVYUSAGE, the state of referenced components is retained between invocations. If the state is not to be retained, use components that are *DYNAMIC.
