I like this a lot !!!:
TGalleryStatusDescriptions: array
[Low(TGalleryStatus)..High(TGalleryStatus)] of String =
You don't have to do that, you can just do this:
TGalleryStatusDescriptions: array[TGalleryStatus] of String =
Just like for booleans you can do:
BoolStr: array[Boolean] of string = ('N', 'Y');
FWIW most has already been covered but comparisons are also quicker
because they are ordinal instead of string based (even with the string
comparison speed up in D2007).
Being able to use strings in a case statement is a pretty popular QC
request that never seems to get any headway.
Generally I prefer a constant array if I want to map a type to a
string representation although I use the TypeInfo code that others
have posted when prototyping or demostrating issues.
Although I didn't use it in the FlowPanel example that ships with
Delphi, not sure why I didn't now. Oh well.
cheers,
Jeremy
