	CleanupInstance	Performs finalization on long strings, variants, and interface variables within a class.
	Clear	Deletes all items from the list.
	Create	Constructs an object and initializes its data before the object is first used.
	Create	This is the overview for the Create constructor overload.
	DefaultHandler	Provides the interface for a method that processes message records.
	Delete	Removes the item at the position given by the Index parameter.
	Destroy	Destroys an instance of TComponentList.
	Dispatch	Calls message-handling methods for the object, based on the contents of the Message parameter.
	Error	This is the overview for the Error method overload.
	Exchange	Swaps the position of two items in the Items array.
	Expand	Increases the Capacity of the list.
	Extract	Removes a component from the list.
	FieldAddress	Returns the address of a published object field.
	FindInstanceOf	Finds the first instance of a specified class in the list.
	First	Returns Items[0].
	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 TList enumerator.
	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.
	IndexOf	Returns the index of the first component in the list with a specified value.
	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	Adds a component to the list at a specified position.
	InstanceSize	Returns the size in bytes of each instance of the object type.
	Last	Returns the component at the end of the Items array.
	MethodAddress	This is MethodAddress, a member of class TObject.
	MethodName	This is MethodName, a member of class TObject.
	Move	Changes the position of an item in the Items array.
	NewInstance	Allocates memory for an instance of an object type and returns a pointer to that new instance.
	Pack	Deletes all nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++) items from the Items array.
	Remove	Removes a specified component from the list and (if OwnsObjects is true) frees the component.
	SafeCallException	Handles exceptions in methods declared using the safecall calling convention.
	Sort	Performs a QuickSort on the list based on the comparison function Compare.

Public Properties
