Something to be aware of is that the default value of this switch has changed in Delphi 6. >From the D6 help:
"The default setting for $WRITEABLECONST ($J) compiler directive has changed from ON to OFF. This means that you must explicitly turn this compiler flag on before you can write to typed const values." John -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Dunford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ... <snip> ... In the default {$J+} compiler state, typed constants can have new values assigned to them; they behave essentially like initialized variables. But if the {$J-} compiler directive is in effect, typed constants cannot change value at runtime; they are, in effect, read-only variables. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
