I need to get a list of strings (like a StringList) with the possible values for a 
TBrushStyle property (bsSolid, bsClear, bsHorizontal, for example). I want to build 
a ComboBox with this options. How can I set the property Items of my ComboBox 
directly with all the values from the enumerated type TBrushStyle? My ComboBox will 
be alike the Property Editor for this type.

Answer:

You can use runtime type information (RTTI) to do that. Below is an example:

1   uses
2     {...}, TypInfo
3   
4   procedure BrushStylesAsStrings(AList: TStrings);
5   var
6     a: integer;
7     pInfo: PTypeInfo;
8     pEnum: PTypeData;
9   begin
10    AList.Clear;
11    pInfo := PTypeInfo(TypeInfo(TBrushStyle));
12    pEnum := GetTypeData(pInfo);
13    with pEnum^ do
14    begin
15      for a := MinValue to MaxValue do
16        AList.Add(GetEnumName(pInfo, a));
17    end;
18  end;
