Установить дату как изначально пустую в bootstrap-datepicker

Как показывает GameCat, TStrings - хороший кандидат, чтобы избежать ввода:

type
  TMyObject = class
  public
    procedure DoSomething;
  end;

  TMyObjectStringsHelper = class helper for TStrings
  private
    function GetMyObject(const Name: string): TMyObject;
    procedure SetMyObject(const Name: string; const Value: TMyObject);
  public
    property MyObject[const Name: string]: TMyObject read GetMyObject write SetMyObject; default;
  end;

function TMyObjectStringsHelper.GetMyObject(const Name: string): TMyObject;
var
  idx: Integer;
begin
  idx := IndexOf(Name);
  if idx < 0 then
    result := nil
  else
    result := Objects[idx] as TMyObject;
end;

procedure TMyObjectStringsHelper.SetMyObject(const Name: string; const Value:
    TMyObject);
var
  idx: Integer;
begin
  idx := IndexOf(Name);
  if idx < 0 then
    AddObject(Name, Value)
  else
    Objects[idx] := Value;
end;

var
  lst: TStrings;
begin
  ...
  lst['MyName'] := TMyObject.Create; 
  ...
  lst['MyName'].DoSomething;
  ...
end;

Вам когда-нибудь приходилось обращаться к многострочным строкам в реестре?

type
  TRegistryHelper = class helper for TRegistry
  public
    function ReadStrings(const ValueName: string): TStringDynArray;
  end;

function TRegistryHelper.ReadStrings(const ValueName: string): TStringDynArray;
var
  DataType: DWord;
  DataSize: DWord;
  Buf: PChar;
  P: PChar;
  Len: Integer;
  I: Integer;
begin
  result := nil;
  if RegQueryValueEx(CurrentKey, PChar(ValueName), nil, @DataType, nil, @DataSize) = ERROR_SUCCESS then begin
    if DataType = REG_MULTI_SZ then begin
      GetMem(Buf, DataSize + 2);
      try
        if RegQueryValueEx(CurrentKey, PChar(ValueName), nil, @DataType, PByte(Buf), @DataSize) = ERROR_SUCCESS then begin
          for I := 0 to 1 do begin
            if Buf[DataSize - 2] <> #0 then begin
              Buf[DataSize] := #0;
              Inc(DataSize);
            end;
          end;

          Len := 0;
          for I := 0 to DataSize - 1 do
            if Buf[I] = #0 then
              Inc(Len);
          Dec(Len);
          if Len > 0 then begin
            SetLength(result, Len);
            P := Buf;
            for I := 0 to Len - 1 do begin
              result[I] := StrPas(P);
              Inc(P, Length(P) + 1);
            end;
          end;
        end;
      finally
        FreeMem(Buf, DataSize);
      end;
    end;
  end;
end;
