I'd prefer a way of storing the type information for each reflectable class statically, and in a generic way, e.g. something like std::map<std::string, property>. This would enable the reflection
this is *exactly* what the 'data abstraction layer' of the "Lit Window Library" does. It stores a map<string, property> for aggregates and exposes the member information of the aggregate via aggregate::iterator, begin() and end() among other features. Please have a look at http://www.litwindow.com/library (homepage) and download the lwbase package from SF and browse the documentation. A quick introductory article is located at http://www.litwindow.com/Library/Articles/dataabstractionlayer.htm it is the first part of a series. The others will follow soon. Regards Hajo Kirchhoff
