|
TComponentList |
A memory-managed list of components (that is, instances of classes descended from TComponent) |
|
TClassList |
A list of class references |
|
TInterfaceList |
A list of interface pointers. |
|
TQueue |
A first-in first-out list of pointers |
|
TStack |
A last-in first-out list of pointers |
|
TObjectQueue |
A first-in first-out list of objects |
|
TObjectStack |
