Your code might appear to work on D7 but that's by chance. What I'm surprised at is why anyone is still talking about this. Who cares. Why do people want to work out what happens whe calling conventions don't match.

This is wrong on D7 too. Don't believe everything you read.

Are you setting every field in st? Looks like you didn't set DayOfWeek. It's a Wednesday, the 12th June. Doesn't seem worthwhile calling StrToDateTime and the DecodeDateTime when you can just set the fields directly.

Isn't this just grep?

You use variables which contain references to them.

Another good reason not to write code which depends on the string name of objects.

Interfaces and callbacks might be the solution, but I'm always very sceptical of people who will tell you the solution to a problem that hasn't been clearly stated.

Hard to answer without seeing how the classes and types are defined

You are trolling here right?

This entire thread is utterly pointless. Just submit a feature request. Yapping here won't change anything. Or are you just here for the yapping?

Right click on bds.exe and check what its compat settings are too

I'm not sure that this is true.

My opinions are independently formed though

Not is the containing structured type is declared in the implementation section

Types can be declared inside structured types.

Exit, Break and Continue are all good. No problem with them being used properly. These local variables that are shared between local functions are very different because they tend to have larger scope that is harder to manage.

I always prefer to pass parameters because it makes it much clearer what the input/output of the function is. Usually the so called convenience you refer to just leads to obfuscation.

I honestly can't make any sense of this text. Is it just me?

IDE form designer has been doing this sort of thing for over a decade with VFI

Guys, he just wants somebody to convert the code ASAP!!

This isn't the place to hire programmers is it

It seems unlikely that somebody will write your program for you. Why don't you pay a programmer to do it?

Doesn't seem like you want help. It seems like you want somebody to do it. I definitely recommend getting a programmer involved.

Maybe you need to get a programmer on your team?
