Have a look in Typinfo.pas. I've always used it with published properties of
objects. I've used TObject.ClassInfo to get a pointer to the class's RTTI
information, then used GetPropInfo to get the information for a property.
However, I guess you could just call TypeInfo(TEnumeration) to get a pointer
to the type info for the enumeration.
Then, use GetTypeData to return a TTypeData structure which will tell you
the number of values in the enumeration, and use GetEnumName to get the
enumerated values and GetEnumValue to go the other way.
Cheers,
Andrew Cooke.
