that is what I thought.... I have a system I am getting ready to merge with engine. I was testing, compiled, one function (a search function) which tests for which type of listbox I am working with. ex: if (type ($Listbox_ptr->) = is longint) do whatever
but the search was not working - it was not searching, it does wrk just fine interpretedly. so - I FSCKed around with it a while, put in alerts and other things to try to figure out where and how it was failing when compiled. I eventually found that the code was failing where I test for the type of listbox, as the above example. soI placed an alert Alert(string(type($Listbox->))) just before the txt that was failing. The Alert showed that the listbox was Type 1 (real) !!!!!! I found this just as I had to leave for the day, so I will rejoin the issue tomorrow, but.. How does a section listbox get typed (compiled) as Real?!?!!? I have no idea. anyone?
