The simplest way is just to have definition in the interface and then copy what you have to the implementation
unit Unit1; interface You'll need to use a few units to find the reference to TForm etc procedure FormScale (rHeiScale:real; rWidScale:real; sForm:tForm); implementation procedure FormScale (rHeiScale:real; rWidScale:real; sForm:tForm); var i:integer; rWidth,rHeight:real; begin with sForm do begin rHeight:=rHeiScale*(Screen.Height/Height); // Scale form rWidth:=rWidScale*(Screen.Width/Width); Height:=Round(Height*rHeight); Width:=Round(Width*rWidth); Left:=Round((Screen.Width-Width)/2); // Center form Top:=Round((Screen.Height-Height)/2); for i:=0 to componentcount-1 do if Components[i] is TControl then begin TControl(Components[i]).Top := Round(TControl(Components[i]).Top*rHeight); TControl(Components[i]).Width := Round(TControl(Components[i]).Width*rWidth); TControl(Components[i]).Height := Round(TControl(Components[i]).Height*rHeight); TControl(Components[i]).Left := Round(TControl(Components[i]).Left*rWidth); end; end; end; end. A slightly different way would be to make a class, then have a class function in the interface. Ie: type TWallacesFormResize = TObject public class procedure FormScale (rHeiScale:real; rWidScale:real; sForm:tForm); end; Then to call it for a form it's TWallacesFormResize.FormScale(parameters) On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 11:10 AM, Marshland Engineering < marshl...@marshland.co.nz> wrote: > When I put it in the interface unit, it added a uses statement before it > with > the forms included in it and each time I compiled it added more and more > bits > in. > > >Why not just put it in it's own unit (or a common utilities unit) and > include > it in any form that needs it, rather than having it in the mainform > unit > > I like this idea but not sure how to implement it and how to call it. > > Adding a blank unit, I have > > unit Unit1; > > interface > > implementation > > end. > > Thanks Wallace. > > > _______________________________________________ > NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list > Post: delphi@listserver.123.net.nz > Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi > Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@listserver.123.net.nz with > Subject: unsubscribe >
