Extract a string version of a constant’s name???

[apostolisadam]

In Delphi, does anyone know of a way to extract a string version of a constant’s name?

const

myConstant = 1;
...
MyTextValue := SomConversionToText( myConstant );

showMessage( ‘The name of the constant is: ‘ + MyTextValue );


Is it even possible?

I think you because the name is only known at compile time, not at runtime. why would you need something like this?
if you want to link an integer value to a string there are many ways, like arrays and so on. I personally use a small database table for such purposes...
