Rob's point hints at an even deeper message. TThe object isn't actually IN the list. The size of Mylist[i] is 4 bytes whether you're storing page numbers or entire TStringGrids. Yes my friends, the concept of pointer materializes center stage. The object is never actually IN the list, only a reference to the object, a pointer to the object if you will, resides in the list. In the end, the concept of a pointer is one you can't fully escape. Sure the system may hide them from you but you become more of a Delphi User in the same way most of us are Car Users. Either way, you can use them as craftsmen or you use them via another craftsman as a User but either way, you'll use them. Take your pick.
