I can confirm that
ListBox1.Items.AddObject('foo', TObject(-1));
ShowMessage(IntToStr(Integer(ListBox1.Items.Objects[0])));
gives an error but
ListBox1.Items.AddObject('foo', TObject(0));
ShowMessage(IntToStr(Integer(ListBox1.Items.Objects[0])));
does not
I think casting -1 to an object is probably not the best idea - what
memory location does this point to anyway? 0xFFFFFFFF?
