Well, is you want to be Delphi Compatible, you should use the same
definition which is:

const
  vtInteger    = 0;
  vtBoolean    = 1;
  vtChar       = 2;
  vtExtended   = 3;
  vtString     = 4;
  vtPointer    = 5;
  vtPChar      = 6;
  vtObject     = 7;
  vtClass      = 8;
  vtWideChar   = 9;
  vtPWideChar  = 10;
  vtAnsiString = 11;
  vtCurrency   = 12;
  vtVariant    = 13;
  vtInterface  = 14;
  vtWideString = 15;
  vtInt64      = 16;

type
  PVarRec = ^TVarRec;
  TVarRec = record
    case Byte of
      vtInteger:    (VInteger: Integer; VType: Byte);
      vtBoolean:    (VBoolean: Boolean);
      vtChar:       (VChar: Char);
      vtExtended:   (VExtended: PExtended);
      vtString:     (VString: PShortString);
      vtPointer:    (VPointer: Pointer);
      vtPChar:      (VPChar: PChar);
      vtObject:     (VObject: TObject);
      vtClass:      (VClass: TClass);
      vtWideChar:   (VWideChar: WideChar);
      vtPWideChar:  (VPWideChar: PWideChar);
      vtAnsiString: (VAnsiString: Pointer);
      vtCurrency:   (VCurrency: PCurrency);
      vtVariant:    (VVariant: PVariant);
      vtInterface:  (VInterface: Pointer);
      vtWideString: (VWideString: Pointer);
      vtInt64:      (VInt64: PInt64);
end;


Hope his help
