Description
Ensures that renaming an owned component does not create a name conflict.
ValidateRename checks whether a component can rename one of its owned components, passed in AComponent, from its current name (CurName) to the string passed in NewName. If AComponent is nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++) or NewName is already the name of a component in the Components list, ValidateRename raises an EComponentError exception.
ValidateRename is used internally when the Name property is modified. It is not necessary to call it directly.
