Btw the case that I fixed was like this procedure TSomeForm.Getwind... procedure setwidthheight(const r : TRect); inline; begin with R do begin width:=right-left; height:=bottom-top; end; end; begin ... setwidtheight(r); end In such case fixing with SELF doesn't work, because self isn't allowed in the nested function. I had to strip the WITH. Luckily it wasn't as bad as expected, and only this one in the win32 widget set. > > Don't get me wrong: > > I use it abundantly.
