Hi Neil, You should probably be casting Source to a TLabel (or equivalent). I don't have a copy of Delphi on me but your code should look something like this:
procedure TForm1.Chart1DragDrop(Sender, Source: TObject; X, Y: Integer); begin if Source is TLabel then begin TLabel(source).left := x; TLabel(source).top := y; end; end; Regards, Cord StaffPlan Ltd http://www.staffplan.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: advanced_delphi@yahoogroups.com [mailto:advanced_del...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Niel ralphspud-at-att.net |Advanced Delphi/Example Allow| Sent: 24 May 2010 08:37 To: Cord Schneider; advanced_delphi@yahoogroups.com Subject: [advanced_delphi] Drag Drop Labels I have some labels that I want to reposition on a chart with Drag Drop. I chose dmAutomatic for the labels. As shown below, the code won't compile. Delphi says that Left and Top are Undeclared for source. When I replace source with a specific label name the program runs and the specific label will reposition correctly. What should I replace source with in the code below to make the program work in a generalized way? procedure TForm1.Chart1DragDrop(Sender, Source: TObject; X, Y: Integer); begin source.left := x; source.top := y; end; procedure TForm1.Chart1DragOver(Sender, Source: TObject; X, Y: Integer; State: TDragState; var Accept: Boolean); begin accept := true; end; ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
