I doubt that. ps: You do know that the Object Pascal language already supports things like method pointers, so passing methods to a procedure common - plus it has the benefit that the method is well named (so you know what it should be doing). Anonymous methods seem to be exactly what existing method pointers are, but with the downside that they are obscure (no names to hint to what they do), and defined in the wrong place in code. > If you have never developed with them, (as was I), you never know what you > have been missing. This is what I am trying to find out. So far, with everything I have read and seen. I can do the same thing in code, using method pointers and it will be more structured code (with names and defined in the correct location in my unit]. I simply don't see a need for anonymous methods. Maybe other languages have them, because they didn't have the method pointer construct to start with?
