I don't know msegui well enough to see what this exactly means. Delphi and Lazarus and most programs done with these tools use TStrings all over the place (including, but not limited to TStringList). Here the type used in the Interface of TStrings of course is "String", with the meaning of String varying (non-Unicode Delphi: locale based ANSI 8 Bit, Lazarus: UTF8, Unicode Delphi: UTF16). If mseLang does not have a native (and ambiguous) type "String", but three or more different ones, what should the user do to port his programs ? If "tmsestringdatalist" is to be used completely different than TStringList this will be rather hard. Moreover what about the other siblings of the virtual type "TStrings" ? -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
