Question

I have a Record that I would like to store for each Item that add to a Listbox. Would I need to make the record a class instead to accomplish this?

TServerRec = record
    ID: integer;
    DisplayName: string;
    Address: string;
    Port: integer;
end;

procedure TMainForm.PopuplateServers;
var
  server: TServerRec;
begin
  for server in FServerList do
  begin
    lbServers.AddObject(server.DisplayName, server);
  end;
end;

Answer 1

No, but you could store a pointer to this record with a bit of typecasting. But then you’re getting into dynamic record pointer allocation, which can be a bit of a headache. Why not make TServerRec into an object?
