.SH NAME
itcl::component \- define components for extendedclass, widget or widgetadaptor
.PP
Parts of this description are "borrowed" from Tcl extension [snit], as the functionality is mostly identical.
.SH WARNING!
This is new functionality in [incr Tcl] where the API can still change!!
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBpublic component \fIcomp\fR ?\fB-inherit\fR?
\fBprotected component \fIcomp\fR ?\fB-inherit\fR?
\fBprivate component \fIcomp\fR ?\fB-inherit\fR?

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBcomponent\fR command is used inside an \fB[incr\ Tcl]\fR
extendedclass/widget/widgetadaptor definition to define components.
.PP
Explicitly declares a component called comp, and automatically defines
the component's instance variable.
.PP
If the \fI-inherit\fR option is specified then all unknown methods
and options will be delegated to this component. The name -inherit
implies that instances of this new type inherit, in a sense,
the methods and options of the component. That is,
-inherit yes is equivalent to:
.PP
.CS
component mycomp
delegate option * to mycomp
delegate method * to mycomp
.CE
.SH KEYWORDS
component, widget, widgetadaptor, extendedclass
