About that limitation in Delphi that I mentioned, where you can’t do a static initialization from an element of a const array with a const index, I had posted about it on delphipraxis.
Delphi should let me use a const array…
Isn’t it great for old men to sit around and whine about what could have been? 
I’m a bit late to this party, but isn’t this what this is? (sorry for the cryptic names, it’s just a copy and paste)
const
ons = 6 ;
Type
rton = record
name : string ;
otype : integer ;
end;
aton = array[1..ons] of rton ;
Const
ons : aton = ( (name:'OnCreate'; otype:1),
(name:'OnRepeat'; otype:1),
(name:'OnTouchMoving'; otype:2),
(name:'OnTouchPressed'; otype:2),
(name:'OnTouchReleased'; otype:3),
(name:'OnTimer'; otype:1) ) ;
Hi, namesake.
The line that does not compile from my example is this one:
It can work in theory: the values can be calculated at compile time. But the compiler doesn’t work with anything other than literals or constants.
