The advantage of enumerated types is strong compiler type
checking. Ie
no spelling/keying mistakes.
If you use the normal convention for enumerated types, .e.g
MyStayus = (msActive, msPending, msEnded ) etc
Then you can use a function and RTTI to convert the enumerated type
name into a string for display. There is a RTTI function
that returns
the name of an enumerated type e.g. "msActive", and then
your function
can strip off the leading lowercase characters.
Myles.
