Well, it trurns out that this fails earlier on when compiling...
So I have:

type
  TIpAddress = array[0..3] of byte;

  {$M+}
  TEspConfiguration = Class(TObject)
  private
    Fchecksum: word;
    Fssid: AnsiString;
    ...
    Faddr: TIpAddress;  //<==
    ...
  published
    property checksum: word read Fchecksum write Fchecksum;
    property ssid: AnsiString read Fssid write Fssid ;
    ...
    property addr: TIpAddress read Faddr write Faddr; // <==
    ...
  end

When compiling I get the following error on the "property addr" line:

wificommhandler.pas(97,33) Error: This kind of property cannot be
published

If I replace the type declaration TIpAddress with array[0..3] of byte
it just adds another error message...

Can published properties only be simple variable types not including
arrays?
Seems odd since an AnsiString, which is accepted, is just an array of
AnsiChar.
