Description

Provides the interface for a method that validates a child component before it is inserted.

ValidateInsert does nothing in TComponent. Descendent classes can override it to disallow a component from accepting an object as a child. By default, ValidateInsert allows any object to be inserted into the component.

If a component needs to validate only certain objects, descendent classes can override ValidateInsert to filter out those objects. To disallow an insertion, raise an exception in the derived method.
