  Can you clarify, what you mean saying "does not work"? The following expression in Delphi compiles well:

  
  

  ElTimerPool1.Items[0].Enabled := True;
  

  
  

  And I guess your expression is also valid in C++.

  With expression ElTimerPool1->Items[0]->Enabled = true  I get the following compiler errors:

  
  

  [bcc32c Fehler] Unit1.cpp(22): member reference type 'Eltimers::TElTimerPool *' is a pointer; did you mean to use '->'?

  [bcc32c Fehler] Unit1.cpp(22): no member named 'Enabled' in 'Eltimers::TElTimerPoolItems'
  

  
  

  C++Builder 11

  LMD 2021.6

  
  

  I thought I had a syntax error.

  Ok, sorry, your right, in C++ there will be a syntax error. Because C++ Builder, as opposed to Delphi, does not recognize so called "default" indexed properties. So, you have to write:

  
  

  ElTimerPool1->Items->Items[0]->Enabled = true;
  

  
  

  This is similar to all other VCL collections, for example Lines in TMemo:

  
  

  Memo1.Lines[0]           := 'some string'; // Delphi

  
  

  Memo1->Lines->Strings[0]  = "some string"; // C++

  So simple. Thank you.
