acStringListContainer component Hierarchy Properties Methods Events

Overview

The acStringListContainer is the invisible component which can be used to specify the string lists at design-time and hold the sets of strings right in the form.

Contains some additional features which allows to work with the lists of "Names=Values" (strings separated on two parts, where first part is some "name" and second is "value", separated with some character). Can disallow adding of the duplicate string independently of whether the list is sorted or not (unlike usual TStringList). Contains the methods to put and retrieve the strings in FIFO manner (allows to specify the list capacity (maximum number of strings), so if the list is full and the new string is about to be added, the first will be deleted previously, plus has the method which automatically delete the first string upon retreiving). Also it can store and retrieve the strings from registry.
