[lazarus] Shane's Class Self Error's

[Cliff Baeseman]

Yes this is probably why Tlist worked and TStringList did not...

Shane how about building a object sort of like

TSourceEdit = class
  Caption: String
  Editor: TEditor
  Height: Integer
  Width: Integer
  Path: String
end

Using this in a standard list instead of a StringList....Just Grasping but
this looked something like what you were doing.

When you load the object set your pointer to the internal var fmEditor to
the created instance you should then be able to use self or the fmEditor in
the internal code..

Uh-Oh. If you are using a TStringList then that is more than likly what
is causing your problem. TStringList which in turn uses AnsiStrings has
some really nasty bug buried down inside some place. Michael VC is
trying to find it and it is on the offical bug list. In my case I have
had it mess up the program so that standard for..do loops would not
work. I had to rewrite code to use repeat..until. If I had to make a
guess it is this that is causing your problem. As a test set the {$H+}
option at the top of your code and see if that doesn't help.

This is the same problem that makes TIniFiles fail at times.
