Description

Returns the owner of a child component being read from a stream.

GetChildOwner is used internally by the component streaming system. It is rarely necessary to call it directly.

In TComponent, GetChildOwner always returns nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++), indicating that the owner is the root component currently being read (usually a form or data module). The Owner of a component is responsible for destroying it.
