	ClassNameIs	Determines whether an object is of a specific type.
	ClassParent	Returns the type of the immediate ancestor of a class.
	ClassType	Returns the class reference for the object's class.
	CleanupInstance	Performs finalization on long strings, variants, and interface variables within a class.
	Clear	Introduces an abstract (Delphi) or pure virtual (C++) method to empty the list and any associated objects.
	Create	Constructs an object and initializes its data before the object is first used.
	DefaultHandler	Provides the interface for a method that processes message records.
	Delete	Introduces an abstract (Delphi) or pure virtual (C++) method to delete a specified string from the list.
	Destroy	Destroys the TPersistent instance and frees its memory.
	Dispatch	Calls message-handling methods for the object, based on the contents of the Message parameter.
	EndUpdate	Enables the TStrings object to keep track of when the list of strings has finished changing.
	Equals	Compares the list of strings to the list from another TStrings object and returns true if the two lists match.
	Exchange	Swaps the position of two strings in the list.
	FieldAddress	This is the overview for the FieldAddress method overload.
	Free	Destroys an object and frees its associated memory, if necessary.
	FreeInstance	Deallocates memory allocated by a previous call to the System::TObject::NewInstance method.
	GetEnumerator	Returns a TStrings enumerator.
	GetHashCode	Returns an integer containing the hash code.
	GetInterface	Retrieves a specified interface.
	GetInterfaceEntry	Returns the entry for a specific interface implemented in a class.
	GetInterfaceTable	Returns a pointer to a structure containing all of the interfaces implemented by a given class.
	GetNamePath	Returns the name of the object as it appears in the Object Inspector.
	GetText	Allocates a text buffer and fills it with the value of the Text property.
	IndexOf	Returns the position of a string in the list.
	IndexOfName	Returns the position of the first name-value pair with the specified name.
	IndexOfObject	Returns the index of the first string in the list associated with a given object.
	InheritsFrom	Determines the relationship of two object types.
	InitInstance	Initializes a newly allocated object instance to all zeros and initializes the instance's virtual method table pointer.
	Insert	Introduces abstract (Delphi) or pure virtual (C++) method to insert a string at a specified position.
	InsertObject	Inserts a string into the list at the specified position, and associates it with an object.
	InstanceSize	Returns the size in bytes of each instance of the object type.
	LoadFromFile	This is the overview for the LoadFromFile method overload.
	LoadFromStream	This is the overview for the LoadFromStream method overload.
	MethodAddress	This is the overview for the MethodAddress method overload.
	MethodName	Returns the name of a class method by address.
	Move	Changes the position of a string in the list.
	NewInstance	Allocates memory for an instance of an object type and returns a pointer to that new instance.
	SafeCallException	Handles exceptions in methods declared using the safecall calling convention.
	SaveToFile	This is the overview for the SaveToFile method overload.
	SaveToStream	This is the overview for the SaveToStream method overload.
	SetText	Sets the Text property.
	ToString	Returns a string containing the class name.
