I can't store the Index positions because it's a sorted list and they will change as more items are added.
 
DC> Why can't you use at the Objects property?
 
The Objects property is already being used, and anyway, this is referencing in the wrong direction.  I need a pointer to the string list not the other way around.  It's a plan I came up with to reduce memory requirements and provide fast retrieval for upwards of 50,000 strings.
 
DC>THackedStringList = class(TStrings)
public
    FList: PStringItemList;
end;
According to RM, this is not possible.  I had already coded it this way assuming it would work, but apparently only Protected members can be made visible, not Private.

No its not possible to access private members without being in the same pas.  umm couldn't you just store an array of stringlist positions instead or pointers to a string (not knowing what you are trying to do).
 
I would look for other ways to implement your functionality or build your own TStringList by copying the source out.  Don't change classes.

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.
