List members

Those functions and properties enable to create and manage lists or matrixes with predefined structure and content. If such kind of list is filled with the data, set of Delphi functions can be used for specific calculations and operations with data.

There are five different types of lists, from which three are basic and two are combined. Basic lists are represented by matrix of n rows and only one column. These include StringList, IntegerList and VariantList, depending on format of stored data.

For complex matrix with >1 columns you can use MultivariantList and VarVariantList. The former one requires prior knowledge about the number of columns, the letter one has variable number of both rows and columns.
