Got something weird here - weird because I probably don't understand it
properly but it caused me a bit of delay...
Simplified, I had a global array of records, during my procedure I would
do something like this
PRec := MyArrayofPRec[0];
PRec.name := 'Hi';
Now for some reason I was expecting MyArrayOfPRec[0].name to be now 'Hi'
as well, but it's not.
Here is an example that I whipped up just now which lead me to expect this.
type
TMyRec = Record
name : string;
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
TTH : TMyRec;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
TTH.name := 'BoB';
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
t : TMemo;
b : TMyRec;
begin
t := Memo1;
t.lines.add('hi');
b := TTH;
b.name := 'Smile';
t.lines.add(TTH.name);
end;
Now in this example when it's ran and button 1 is clicked - Hi is added
to the Memo1 and Bob is added.
So why can I assign Memo1 to T and all actions done to T are done to
Memo1, but the same isn't with the Record.
Is it because Record isn't from TObject?
I guess it's like
var
a,b : integer;
begin
a := 1;
b := a;
b := 10; //a still = 1 which is what I would expect
end;
so is it because TMemo is an Object and the record and a,b above are
just variables?
O.o
Thanks
