Ummmm. What!!

[Ian Branch 121]

D12 + Patch.

I just double clicked on the FormShow event of a Form to create the event.

I got a "Cannot find implementation of method FormShow.: error.

I checked, the declaration is in the Form Class and the procedure is in the code.

Huh??

I added some code into the FormShow procedure but it doesn't run.  I don't get any error messages.

Any thoughts/suggestions??

 

Regards,

Ian

Does it happen with a blank project? Either way, can you post the source here?

Hi Dave,

No it didn't happen on a new project. 

And it isn't happening on/in all my projects in the proj Gp.

But it is happening in more than one. 😞

I can't really post the form/project as it has 3rd Pary components on it and there is proprietary information in it.

Whilst I could mask the information, it would still be dependant on you having the 3rd Party components to open the unit.

What's a little more annoying is that I don't know how long this 'isssue' has existed and therefore how long existing FormShow procedures in the relevant Apps hasn't been functioning.  😞

Update - I just went through the 30 projects in the ProjectGrp.

4 projects are exhibiting the issue.  😞

I guess that narrows it down to what do those 4 have in common....

I backtracked through the versions and found that three developed the issue in mid January and one in mid Dec.

Doing the usual file comparisons, I couldn't find a change/difference in the sour dfm files.  😞

All restored now and working as desired.

Thanks for looking.

This has happened to me in the past when in the source files (even those called in the Uses) there were strange characters or the line ending was not CRLF.
I also saw some anomalies when the declared class name and the implemented one (in the methods) differed due to the character case.
But I never delved into how much it all impacted the code.

Since that time I have made sure of both CRLF characters, especially from what is copied / pasted from sources external to the IDE by first copying into a text editor and forcing the thing and then into the IDE.
