Hello.
Let's say I have a type:
TClothingType = (ctJacket, ctPants, ctShirt);
and I want to associate it with color:
var
Colors: array[TClothingType] = (clRed, clBlue, clGreen);
Is it possible to protect Colors against a change in order of items in
TClothingType? Adding or removing items from TClothingType will
generate error that too much/not enough initializers are present. But
if someone changes the order of items or changes a clothing type to
different I will get wrong association of colors.
I'm thinking of syntax like this:
var
Colors: array[TClothingType] = (ctJacket:clRed, ctPants:clBlue,
ctShirt:clGreen);
Is something like this possible?
I know I can assign it at runtime:
Colors[ctJacket] := clRed;
Colors[ctPants] := clBlue;
Colors[ctShirt] := clGreen;
But I'm looking for compile time method.
