How can I use TGUID in Delphi

In Delphi, you can use the TGUID type to represent a globally unique identifier (GUID). A GUID is a 16-byte (128-bit) value that is used to uniquely identify objects, such as database records or COM objects.

To create a new GUID, you can use the CreateGUID function, which generates a new, random GUID. You can then assign the result to a TGUID variable. For example

var
  MyGUID: TGUID;
begin
  MyGUID := CreateGUID;
end;

var

MyGUID: TGUID;

begin

MyGUID := CreateGUID;

end;

To generate a new GUID as a string, you can use the GUIDToString function, which converts a TGUID value to a string representation in the form ‘{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}’. For example

var
  MyGUID: TGUID;
  MyGUIDString: string;
begin
  MyGUID := CreateGUID;
  MyGUIDString := GUIDToString(MyGUID);
end;

var

MyGUID: TGUID;

MyGUIDString: string;

begin

MyGUID := CreateGUID;

MyGUIDString := GUIDToString(MyGUID);

end;

To convert a string representation of a GUID to a TGUID value, you can use the StringToGUID function. For example

var
  MyGUIDString: string;
  MyGUID: TGUID;
begin
  MyGUIDString := ‘{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}’;
  MyGUID := StringToGUID(MyGUIDString);
end;

var

MyGUIDString: string;

MyGUID: TGUID;

begin

MyGUIDString := ‘{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}’;

MyGUID := StringToGUID(MyGUIDString);

end;
