table.getdelegate()

Device + Agent

Table — the target’s current delegate, otherwise null

This method returns the target table’s current custom delegate, or null if no such delegate has yet been assigned.

	local mt = {};
	local md = {};

	// Give MD - but not MT - a name slot with a function as a value
	md.name <- function() {
	server.log(this.title);
	};

	// Give both tables a title slot with strings as values
	mt.title <- "My Table";
	md.title <- "My Delegate";

	// Make MD the delegate of MT
	mt.setdelegate(md);

	// MT does not have a slot 'name', so Squirrel will try its delegate
	// when the we ask it to access 'name' in MT:
	mt.name();
	// Displays "My Table"

	if (mt.getdelegate() == md) server.log("MD is the delegate of MT");
	// Displays "MD is the delegate of MT"
