I want to know if it is possible to get the name of a variable as text/string
(I know this might
be impossible).
For example I need a function that will accept as input a variable and will
return a string that
is the name of that variable. If my variable is FontSize the function will
return 'FontSize'.
More examples:
If my function will be this:
function ConvertToString(AVariable: integer): string;
then running this program:
---------------------------
var FontSize: integer;
s: string;
begin
s:= ConvertToString(FontSize);
end;
---------------------------
s will be 'FontSize'.
I want to use this to store my program's forms state on the HDD in a INI file
then restore it when
the program starts again.
I already do this by using something like this:
MyIniFile:= TCIniFile.Create(GetApplicationDir+'settings.ini');
With MyIniFile DO
With MainForm DO
begin
Left := ReadInteger('WindowState', 'left', 50);
top := ReadInteger('WindowState', 'top' , 50);
Width := ReadInteger('WindowState', 'width' , 750);
Height := ReadInteger('WindowState', 'height', 550);
checkboxes, etc...
end;
but I would like to simplify it to something like
SaveToIni(Left);
SaveToIni(Top);
etc...
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------

I realized that in a big program with lots of windows and buttons I can spend
lots of time coding
the store/restore functions.
It is also very error prone.
There is a VERY good VCL that can store automatically this information for me?
I tried several VCLs but all had some problems/limitations.
If I choose Christianity then the Islamic will say I'm a pagan.
If I choose Islamic then the Buddhism will say I'm a pagan.
If I chose Buddhism then the Jewish will say I'm pagan.
If I choose no God then everybody will say I'm pagan.
Please, can I be free? Can you NOT tell me how I should live MY life?
