Convert Integer Into String

Question

I have a some numbers stored in a Integer called mode, but I need to use they in a TProcess. For this I need to convert the Integer into a String, because if I don't do this, I got the error:

Incompatible types: got "LongInt" expected "AnsiString"

Then I want to know how I can convert a Integer into a String?

Answer 1

You can use IntToStr:

A:=IntToStr(123)

Answer 2

I just did my first steps with a 30day test version of Delphi XE8 and figured out that one has to write e.g.

  Ticks: integer;
  LabelTicks: TLabel;
  (...)
  LabelTicks.Text:= System.SysUtils.IntToStr( Ticks);

But: The variable 'Ticks' seems to be an object! I did not expect that, but you can also write

  LabelTicks.Text:= Ticks.ToString;

To me that seems to be much more elegant.
