Solution

You can use the Function FloatToStr wich takes a float parameter. You can use the DoubleToStr for converting a double.

var s : string;
var mydoubleD : double;
begin
   mydoubleD := 3.14152341234234;
   s := FloatToStr( mydoubleD );

   //you could as well use s in the ShowMessage :-)
   ShowMessage('Your Double is: ' + FloatToStr(mydoubleD));
end;
