I am having a major problem
�
If you examine editor.pp please notice the
function OPENFILE.� In it I create a TMemo object and access some of it's properties.� Notice how I declare a fmeditor variable and assign that to UnitList[Activefile];� Unitlist is an array of FORMS that contain Memo's so in this case it's the Form that you want the memo on.� Problem is I CAN'T USE SELF!� If I try to put Self in the TMemo.Create(self) function the memo never displays because SELF is not being set right (something's wrong with it).
�
Another example is where I set the caption of
the form (a few lines lower in the same procedure).� Notice that I use fmeditor.caption := texts instead of simply saying Caption:= Texts.� If I simply use Caption, then the caption is never set.� When I use fmeditor it's set.
�
Another example:� If I create the Memo1 component in the fmEditor.Create procedure, and try to do a Memo.Show in the OpenFile procedure, crashola....it tanks.� It's simply can't find the Memo.show function because it seems like it's treated as a local variable in the Create, or because Self is being sent wrong, perhaps that's causing the problem.� Notice, the function OPENFILE is a callback called when you press the OK button in a OpenFileDialog box (in dialogs.pp) so is this causing the problem? �
I really would appreciate someone I'm
starting to believe it's a compiler problem but that's only because I also starting to run out of other things to blame.� i am not using the latest snapshot but I am using fpc 0.99.11 version I pulled a while back. �
Please let me know if anyone has any questions.

I made Unitlist global to verify that it's not losing scope, so it's declared in globals.pp

Shane Where is UnitList declared at... I could not find that dirty dog last night. Is UnitList a TStrings object?

It does seem that it is assigned whenever it hits your function but I cannot find the declaration for it...Is UnitList loosing scope perhaps?

Just Grasping a little....
