With a record, a String has to be a specific size, i.e string[x]
x=specific string size, i.e. 3, 5, 255 or whatever you need.

If its uesed in your example :-

TPNodeData = ^TNodeData;
  TNodeData = record
    Index, Level, from, adds, subject, body: Integer;
    FullPath, UIDL: string[255];
  end;

Subject: [DUG] Pointers (again)


Last night I got out my Delphi books - you know, the decent ones that
you got when you purchased Delphi years ago. Unfortunately, the downside
of them was that the information is disbursed around which  makes
following  them  sometimes  a bit tricky. So I am still stymied.

In the following example, can anyone see if it is in error, as there is
no memory allocation given, and may be the cause of some non-specific
access violation program errors that I was trying to fix. If wrong,
example appreciated.

type
  TPNodeData = ^TNodeData;
  TNodeData = record
    Index, Level, from, adds, subject, body: Integer;
    FullPath, UIDL: string;
  end;


function GetSpamLevel(from, adds, subject, body: string; Data:
TPNodeData): Integer;




procedure Tmainform.VTree1InitNode(Sender: TBaseVirtualTree; ParentNode,
  Node: PVirtualNode; var InitialStates: TVirtualNodeInitStates); var
Data: TPNodeData; begin //should I insert here: New(Data);
  with Sender do
  begin
    Data := GetNodeData(Node); //Pointer to Node data right?
    Data.Index := node.Index;  //no memory allocation here. //Here is
data being placed into the pointer 'Data.Level'
    Data.Level := GetSpamLevel(SakMsgList1.Items[Data.Index].From,
      SakMsgList1.Items[Data.Index].Subject, '', Data);
  end;
end;
