1. Why not use dummy class like "class tmyenum(tobject) e: myenumtype; end;"? (extra typing is something like "(objects[i] as tmyenum).e" instead of typecasting, but you can [have to] "Free" it: it's normal object) 2. By the way, compared to Delphi, FPC with common arguments wastes much more memory on large amounts of such objects. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
