Hi guys,
I am trying to compile the TVersionInfo component by Anders Melander

It defines the structure below

CharsetID: WORD);
1: (
TranslationID: DWORD);
end;
PTranslationRec = ^TTranslationRec;

PTranslationTable = ^TTranslationTable;
which causes the compiler error

Is there a way to convert for Free Pascal compatibility?
try:
result := TranslationTable[Index]^.CharsetID

No secret - just that fpc requires stricter syntax than Delphi, even in
{$mode Delphi}. The property TranslationTable is an array property
declared as a pointer (PTranslationTable), so has to be dereferenced
before its members can be accessed. It would have helped if the code's
author had named the property PTranslationTable to highlight that fact,
because the name hides its pointer character.

Is there a bugreport about this? If not, pleasae do. $mode delphi not
accepting this is not ok.

[fpc-pascal] fpGUI Toolkit on WinCE

It should be no problem renaming the property in UI Designer, as it is a stand-alone application and the issue is not in the actual fpGUI library code.
