Mattias -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus I extended the TCodetoolsClassCompletionOptionsFrame and added the template expander data in TCodeToolsOptions. I can see the data being saved and restored appropriately in codetoolsoptions.xml. I have spent the whole morning trying to find the route I must use to get the data in TCodeToolsOptions (which now contains the path to the template file) into my TemplateExpander unit (which is in the uses clause of codecompletiontool.pas). The following code from my TemplateExpander unit fails at compilation: uses CodeToolOptions; because the compiler can't find the file. What do I need to do to make that unit visible in my code? It seems to have something to do with packages, but after reading the docs, I still don't know where to look.
