To get a name of enum value

Title: to get a name of enum value Question: How can I retrieve the string name of some enumerate value? Answer: For example, if you have the some enum type TyourEnumType = (One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten) and you want in run-time to get a string with same value for each of them (for example, fill the combobox items with enum values), then you can use the next procedure: uses TypInfo; var i: Integer; begin for i := Ord(Low(TyourEnumType)) to Ord(High(TyourEnumType)) do Combobox1.Items.Add(GetEnumName(TypeInfo(TyourEnumType), i)); end;
