not sure if i'm in the right place here. basically, i'm looking for a
way to get a list of enum names. for example, the property editor for
TPanel will have a drop down list of enum values by name (alLeft,
alCenter, etc) for Align.
can i get that list, perhaps as a TStringList, for use in my own program?

list. It knows the starting and ending values for the TAlign enum (or any
other enum-based property) and simply runs a loop, passing each numeric
value in between to GetEnumName().
it. If you want to generate such a list for a standalone enum, then you
have to put it into a wrapper class, since enums by themselves don't have
any RTTI in C++. For example:
groups.google.com/group/borland.public.cppbuilder.vcl.components.using/msg/f03d3673a62c204c

in several projects, so I know it works in general.

And the problem is? That is how it is supposed to look.

macro to create a class wrapper for a specified enum type. The '\' and '##'
tokens have special meaning inside a #define statement.

The only error I get is at
if(EditFlags.Contains((TExtEditFlag)x))
TreeView2->Items->Add(NULL, GetEnumName(pTypeInfo, x));
The compiler complains EditFlags.Contains :

or .*

That portion of the code was just an example of how to use the macro and
RTTI. It was copied from a design-time editor for one of my components.
TExtEditFlag is an enum, and EditFlags is a Set of TExtEditFlag values:
typedef Set<TExtEditFlag, firstvalue, lastvalue>TExtEditFlags;
Use whatever enums you want. The Set is optional. You could just display
all of the enum values in the loop, ie:
DECLARE_ENUM_TYPEINFO(TSomeEnum);
PTypeInfo pTypeInfo = GET_ENUM_TYPEINFO(TSomeEnum);
PTypeData pTypeData = GET_ENUM_TYPEDATA(TSomeEnum);
for(int x = pTypeData->MinValue; x <= pTypeData->MaxValue; ++x)
ShowMessage(GetEnumName(pTypeInfo, x));

I remember asking for some thing similar to this a few years back and
was told to use std::map. This helps a lot!
Thanks again
