Thanks this was useful!

I could change the code to use TUpDown instead and the form looks OK
now in Lazarus. Had to hand edit outside of lazarus...


But now I have very strange errors when I am using Quick Compile to
check syntax:

FormTaskProperties.pas(38,14) Error: Identifier not found
"TDateTimePicker"
FormTaskProperties.pas(38,29) Error: Error in type definition
FormTaskProperties.pas(38,5) Error: Symbol cannot be published, can be
only a class
FormTaskProperties.pas(39,14) Error: Identifier not found
"TDateTimePicker"
FormTaskProperties.pas(39,29) Error: Error in type definition
FormTaskProperties.pas(39,5) Error: Symbol cannot be published, can be
only a class

it happens on these lines (38 and 39) in the source at the top where
all form components are listed:

    dtpDate: TDateTimePicker;
    dtpTime: TDateTimePicker;

If I switch to form view the two controls are perfectly visible, which
I don't think would happen if the control is unknown.

And the component itself *is* available on the Lazarus component
palette (Common Controls).

What is causing this really strange error???
And what can I do about it?
Doing a build instead of Quick Compile does not help, same errors...
