TCollectionItem.ID

Initial index of this item.

Declaration

Source position: classesh.inc line 372

public property TCollectionItem.ID: Integer
  read FID;

Description

ID is the initial value of TCollectionItem.Index; it doesn't change after the index changes. It can be used to uniquely identify the item. The ID property doesn't change as items are added and removed from the collection.

While the TCollectionItem.Index property forms a continuous series, ID does not. If items are removed from the collection, their ID is not used again, leaving gaps. Only when the collection is initialiiy created, the ID and Index properties will be equal.
