TList documentation

[Seeker of the Unseen]

Hi All,

I am new to C++.

I am currently playing with Borland C++ builder, I am trying to use TList to
put my objects inside it, but I don't seem to quite grasp the concept of it.

Can anyone help me with some documetation of some kind on how to use TList,
cause the help file didn't help me much.

Thanks,

Seeker

TList is not a part of standard C++, it is Borland specific class. Since
this group only discusses standard C++ your question is off-topic here.
Borland has however a public newsserver: newsgroups.borland.com . This
newsserver has groups with experts that are much more likely to be able
to answer your question about TList and other Borland specific classes
than this group. You might want to look for a group with vcl in its name.

Instead of learning to how use TList, you might want to get familiar
with the standard container classes, like std::list, std::vector...etc.
Not only are they standard (i.e. they also exist on other development
environments like Microsoft Visual C++), but are in many ways superior
to TList and the other container classes in the Borland VCL library. And
last but not least questions about standard container classes are
topical here; feel free to ask questions about the standard container
classes here.

Good luck!

Look for groups with vcl in the name.

As someone else has pointed out though, you should look at std::list, std::vector, std::map
etc. They're portable. The only reason I've ever used TList is that a calling function
in someone else's code required it. It's not a very safe container and requires casts
to put stuff in and get stuff out.

Thank you :)
