Hey dude, I've done this before...you can't override the getter for TList, but you can redeclare the property getter and setter in your subclass to only allow TScriptObjects as long as whoever has your list object knows it as a TScriptList instead of a TList. &nbsp;You also might want to look at TCollection and TCollectionItem...it might be more appropriate for what you're doing.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Woof!

Hi! I'm rather new to classes and OOP, and I would like to create a class (TScriptObjectList) that is identical to TList BESIDES the fact that I want the Items property to return a pointer to the TScriptObject class instead (a class that I've created).<br />
Can I accomplish that without having to duplicate the entire TList class? Overriding perhaps?<br />
<br />
Like:<br />
var<br />
&nbsp; MyScriptObject : TScriptObject;<br />
<br />
MyScriptObject := MyScript.Children.Items[0]<wbr />;<br />
(no typecasting needed!)<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
