Description
Returns a top-level container component.
FindGlobalComponent is used by the component streaming system to implement form linking. When a component property refers to a component on another form, data module, or other top-level container component, the streaming system calls FindGlobalComponent to locate the root object in the form linking reference (e.g. Form1 in Form1.Edit1 (Delphi) or Form1->Edit1 (C++)). If the object cannot be found, FindGlobalComponent returns nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++).
