    <pre><code>type TSomeRecord = Record field1: integer; field2: string; field3: boolean; End; var SomeRecord: TSomeRecord; SomeRecAr: array of TSomeRecord; </code></pre> <p>This is the most basic example of what I have and since I want to reuse <code>SomeRecord</code> (with certain fields remaining empty, without freeing everything some fields would be carried over when I'm reusing <code>SomeRecord</code>, which is obviously undesired) I am looking for a way to free all of the fields at once. I've started out with <code>string[255]</code> and used <code>ZeroMemory()</code>, which was fine until it started leaking memory, that was because I switched to <code>string</code>. I still lack the knowledge to get why, but it appears to be related to it being dynamic. I am using dynamic arrays as well, so I assume that trying <code>ZeroMemory()</code> on anything dynamic would result in leaks. One day wasted figuring that out. I think I solved this by using <code>Finalize()</code> on <code>SomeRecord</code> or <code>SomeRecAr</code> before <code>ZeroMemory()</code>, but I'm not sure if this is the proper approach or just me being stupid.</p> <p>So the question is: how to free everything at once? does some single procedure exist at all for this that I'm not aware of?</p> <p>On a different note, alternatively I would be open to suggestions how to implement these records differently to begin with, so I don't need to make complicated attempts at freeing stuff. I've looked into creating records with <code>New()</code> and then getting rid of it <code>Dispose()</code>, but I have no idea what it means when a variable after a call to <code>Dispose()</code> is undefined, instead of nil. In addition, I don't know what's the difference between a variable of a certain type (<code>SomeRecord: TSomeRecord</code>) versus a variable pointing to a type (<code>SomeRecord: ^TSomeRecord</code>). I'm looking into the above issues at the moment, unless someone can explain it quickly, it might take some time.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
