I’m not understanding how this would work. I’ve read that the keyword (I’ve never heard about until now) makes a variable share memory so it’s like an alias I guess. So, a common scenario is a member variable being declared as TObject then having to typecast it every time I need to access one of it’s methods. Declaring another variable in each function instead of typecasting is perhaps more work but maybe I’m not getting it. Thanks.
