Sorry for any confusion. I did not post this with the intention of removing TCollection/TCollectionItem classes from FPC. I'm simply asking from a functionality point of view. Can Generics replace the usage of TCollection/TCollectionItem in all cases? Purely from a functionality point of view, it seems like it should be possible - but I know nothing of Generics (never used them). I know Lazarus IDE uses TCollection in many property editors. Could Generics even replace those use cases too? I guess this might be better asked in the Lazarus mailing list. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
