TypInfo.ShortStringBase Type

Defines a fixed length string for general use in the TTypeData record.

Pascal
ShortStringBase = string[255];
C++
string[255] ShortStringBase;

The GetTypeData routine utilises Delphi's RTTI (Run Time Type Information) to return a pointer to TTypeData record that describes a component property data type.  

A number of the variant data sections in the TTypeData record use the ShortStringBase to define a 255 character string to hold Name values such as UnitName for a class data type.
