Is there any way to do something like templates in Delphi? The only form of generic programming that comes close is using Variant, but Variant can only hold ordinal types(i.e. int, char, etc), not user defined structures. I need something that does user defined structures/records/classes as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not really. They provide the ultra efficient [sarcasm] Stack & Queue & List containers for you - they work with void* (more-or-less). They are multi-thread safe as is though.

That doesn''t sound too good. Anyway, I''ll check it out. It''s a shame they don''t provide templates. I was actually beginning to like Delphi, since the .EXEs don''t need a mega-huge DLL to run.

BTw, what do you mean when you say that they work with void *?

Okay, I''ve found the equivalent of a void * pointer for delphi. It''s called Pointer. So that''s what I''m using now, just in case anybody is interested.

I feel like I''ve taken a step back in time.....
