One of my main gripes about lots of RTL/VCL/FMX code: conventions are often lacking.
Which means one of the below functions starts with Ansi (but does a Unicode operation) and the other has the parameters in reverse.
var
Comp: function(const s1, s2: string): Boolean;
begin
if CheckBox1.Checked then
Comp := ContainsText
else
Comp := AnsiStartsText;
end;

These functions are (still) called
AnsiXXXfor reasons of backward compatibility. They got theAnsiprefix to indicate they use the current locale, i.e. in contrast to plain ASCII.thaddy said
