Name 
Description 
 
Increments the reference count for this interface. 
 
Decrements the reference count for this interface. 
 
Responds after the last constructor has executed. 
 
Responds before the first destructor executes. 
 
Implements any binary operations of which the custom Variant type is capable. 
 
Cast 
Converts the data from another Variant type so that it represents this custom type's data format. 
 
This is CastTo, a member of class TCustomVariantType. 
 
This is CastToOle, a member of class TCustomVariantType. 
 
Returns a pointer to the runtime type information (RTTI) table for the object type. 
 
Returns a string indicating the type of the object instance (as opposed to the type of the variable passed as an argument). 
 
Determines whether an object is of a specific type. 
 
Returns the type of the immediate ancestor of a class. 
 
Returns the class reference for the object's class. 
 
Performs finalization on long strings, variants, and interface variables within a class. 
 
Sets the data for this custom Variant type to a blank or unassigned value. 
 
Implements comparisons that involve the custom Variant type. 
 
Implements any comparison operations of which the custom Variant type is capable. 
 
Copy 
Copies the data from a Variant of this custom type. 
 
Constructs an object and initializes its data before the object is first used. 
 
This is the overview for the Create constructor overload. 
 
Provides the interface for a method that processes message records. 
 
Disposes of an object instance. 
 
Frees an instance of TCustomVariantType
 
Calls message-handling methods for the object, based on the contents of the Message parameter. 
 
This is DoFunction, a member of class IVarInvokeable. 
 
Implements all methods that return values. 
 
This is DoProcedure, a member of class IVarInvokeable. 
 
Implements all methods that do not return values. 
 
Returns the address of a published object field. 
 
Free 
Destroys an object and frees its associated memory, if necessary. 
 
Deallocates memory allocated by a previous call to the System::TObject::NewInstance method. 
 
Retrieves a specified interface. 
 
Returns the entry for a specific interface implemented in a class. 
 
Returns a pointer to a structure containing all of the interfaces implemented by a given class. 
 
Returns the value of a published property on the object that GetInstance returns, so that it is available in custom Variants
 
Determines the relationship of two object types. 
 
Initializes a newly allocated object instance to all zeros and initializes the instance's virtual method table pointer. 
 
Returns the size in bytes of each instance of the object type. 
 
Indicates whether the data from a custom Variant represents a blank or unassigned value. 
 
This is MethodAddress, a member of class TObject. 
 
This is MethodName, a member of class TObject. 
 
Allocates memory for an instance of an object type and returns a pointer to that new instance. 
 
Returns a reference to a specified interface if the object supports that interface. 
 
Handles exceptions in methods declared using the safecall calling convention. 
 
Sets the value of a published property on the object that GetInstance returns, so that it is available in custom Variants
 
Implements any unary operations of which the custom Variant type is capable.
