This ask for three versions of RTL provided classes like TStringlist (and in fact TStrings) , so that the user who decides to use one of the three throughout his program does not suffer from necessary conversions.
I doubt that there is a decent way to have the compiler decide which class to use. If multiple explicit classes are not to be used in all places, a kind of automation would be necessary. Either introducing "overloading" of properties according to the type of the assignment partner (I did see such requests in other instances) or adding a kind of encoding aware string type (or "variant String") that "know" that he "is" one of the three. -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
