I am porting an older Delphi project to Lazarus/FPC which analyzes the
internal structure of PowerPoint files using OLE automation. While the
overall program is working I am stuck with some OLE properties which have the
name of Pascal keywords, e.g. Shape.*Type *or ColorEffect.*To*.
FPC 3.0.4 and trunk refuse to compile lines like
DisplayValue('Type', MsoShapeTypeStr(AShape.Type), true);
even if {$MODE DELPHI} is used. AShape is an OLEVariant, MsoShapeTypeStr a
function which converts the integer value of AShape.Type to a string. The
error message is 'Fatal: Syntax error, "identifier" expected but "TYPE"
found'.
Any idea how I could make this work?
AShape.&Type
should do the trick, no ?
