Why can't you use at the Objects property?
The first rule of OO programming is don't try to get at private members. It
is private for a good reason.
Having said that, here is a hack ...
THackedStringList = class(TStrings)
public
FList: PStringItemList;
end;
You may need to change it to match the declaration of TStringList for
different versions of Delphi.
var
MyStringList: TStringList;
begin
// Access the private member...
THackedStringList (MystringList).FList

Subject: [DUG] TStringList.FList
Is it possible to make visible a private variable in an ancestor class? I
need to obtain the pointer to the FList record array in a TStringList so I
can store the pointer to each string in the array.
If not then I may be faced with modifying the Classes unit or taking a copy
of the TStringList code from the unit and making my own TStringList. Any
ideas?
Cheers,
Ross.
