DynArrayHashed with old objects

AB, I am using Delphi 7 and DynArrayHashed with success, to process a dictionary of a record. Thank you very much about this.

type
  TEspecie = record
    .. some fields here ..
  end;

But now I need to transform TEspecie in a old fashion object (not a class).

type
  TEspecie = object
    .. some fields here ..
    .. some methods here..
  end;

Can DynArrayHashed handle old objects? Will it work the same way?

Re: DynArrayHashed with old objects

Yes, from the RTTI point of you, an object is just a record with methods.
So a TDynArrayHashed of an object would work just great.

Only non implemented feature is that virtual methods and constructors are not handled.
But I suspect you do not use those (buggy) features.

Yes, virtual methods for this type of object is very buggy in Delphi 7. Thank you, AB.
