Based on the documentation available at Embarcadero, TObject.ToString
is very simple - it just returns the ClassName by default.

------------------------------------
For example, calling System.TObject.ToString on a TButton instance
returns a string containing "TButton".
-------------------------------------

Obviously the developer can override it and return more details, but
by default it's the same as 'ClassName' property
