    Convert a TColor variable to a string and vice versa

    If the tests are that simple why not just use: var clr, newClr : TColor; begin if Clr = $00FFFFFF then newClr := $00000000 Hint: Put your cursor on the TColor text in your IDE and press Ctrl-F1 $00FFFFFF can also be represented as clWhite $00000000 = clWhite end;

    DLL vs Units

    I personally keep my units until i am very sure the functions in them are running perfectly. This is very helpful for debugging. When my program appears complete, I convert my units to DLL's. When many users are using your software, it is much easier to send them an updated DLL than to recompile...
