If you're using the VCL there is GUIDToString().

If the VCL is out then all I could find in a quick trawl of the help
was:

HRESULT CoCreateGuid(
    GUID  *pguid	//Receives a pointer to the GUID on return
   );

typedef struct _GUID {
    unsigned long Data1;
    unsigned short Data2;
    unsigned short Data3;
    unsigned char Data4[8];
} GUID;

/*
Data1

Specifies the first eight hexadecimal digits of the UUID.

Data2

Specifies the first group of four hexadecimal digits of the UUID.

Data3

Specifies the second group of four hexadecimal digits of the UUID.

Data4

Specifies an array of eight elements that contains the third and final
group of eight hexadecimal digits of the UUID in elements 0 and 1, and
the final 12 hexadecimal digits of the UUID in elements 2 through 7
*/

Then you create a string hex representation of the GUID yourself.
