Is it possible to cast/convert an Enumeration Value to an Integer in the Delphi Programming Language?
If yes, then how?
This is called out explicitly at the documentation for enumerated types:
Several predefined functions operate on ordinal values and type identifiers. The most important of them are summarized below.
| Function | Parameter | Return value | Remarks | |----------|:-----------------------------------------------------:|----------------------------------:|---------------------------------------------------| | Ord | Ordinal expression | Ordinality of expression's value | Does not take Int64 arguments. | | Pred | Ordinal expression | Predecessor of expression's value | | | Succ | Ordinal expression | Successor of expression's value | | | High | Ordinal type identifier or variable of ordinal type | Highest value in type | Also operates on short-string types and arrays. | | Low | Ordinal type identifier or variable of ordinal type | Lowest value in type | Also operates on short-string types and arrays. |
