Well, actually ObjectPtr field always indexed, yes.
But I have mean other.

I mean that this should be 2 different parameters!

    vobjectPtr( "Container_ptr",
                 indatabase.containers,
                 kv_cascade,    <<< this is deletion control
                 kv_indexed)    <<< this is flags

Yes, this have not many sense.

    vobjectPtr( "Container_ptr",
                 indatabase.containers,
                 kv_cascade,
                 kv_indexed + kv_Unique )

This have sense because establish 1 : 1 link.


Chuck, I do not remember if contructor VObjectPtr accept flags.
If no, then you can dictate the, inside of constructor as to properties.
