Re: What is best ?

Show all headers | View raw

Thank you for all of your comments. But I am still unclear on whether it is 
reasonable to use an obiect oriented approach (my oo approach rather..).
I try to explain better what I am doing. I have a working program that does 
basically the following:
- A function (GetBudgetProposals) accesses a dataset where each record 
represents one account and has 12 fields with the budgets amounts and 
retrieves the needed data which are retuned in a StringList.
- As many StringLists as many accounts are filled from the dataset. Each 
StringList has the account number and 12 amounts.
- These data that are presented on the screen for the user to examine and 
change.
- When done, all the data are written back on the budget dataset.

I am using this program to learn object orientation, which I know on theory. 
My idea of using an oo approach was to create two class objects: the first, 
for storing each single account data. The second for storing all of the 
first object.
I am stuck at the first, which is the one I gave an example code of. I 
though I had two alternatives:
-Use the above function to retrieve the data and then copy those into my 
object when creating it, or
-Give the object itself this task thorough a similar function.

Just let me know if there is any sense in all this. I am sure I will learn 
more from you, then reading bunch of books (which I am also doing..).

PS:  As far as your suggestion to use TObjectLis, let me understand your 
comment. What I am planning to store in this object is a serie of 12 amounts 
(100, 150, .... 120). I thought I would need a StringList for this. Is this 
wrong ?
PS: You say:
> You are using the stringlist as a container for objects...
The stringList will contaim amounts. Are they objects?
