Re: [lazarus] illegal qualifier problem arose to a newbie

Oh, I fixed it. Compiler couldn't find TDate class because it is in a 
different unit. I added that unit to uses clause where I am using and 
everything is ok now.


Thanks for everything. Happy coding...

You never actually mentioned what exact error message you get. Can you 
post it here?

Hi,

Yeah, I forgot to write it. TheDay is a field in the form class. 
Anyway, this doesn't matter.


I wondered about why I cannot assign an object or access a field. But, 
Delphi code from the book's source is compiled well. I will lookup 
that pages Lee sent links before you.


Thanks, Joost.

Well, this won't compile in Delphi either. First of all you'll need to
define the TheDay variable. Secondly, I don't know any object-type (so
that you can call it's constructor create) which is called TDate.

So probably Marco Cantu has defined his own class TDate, and defined a
variable TheDay somewhere. (Probably somewhere in TDateForm?)

Hi, thanks for reply back.

That code part was an example that is intented to understand 
encapsulation. EncodeDate method was used in an inner method in the class.


I asked that because there is a problem that I cannot access a member of 
an object and wondered why I can't access it.


TheDay is declared in the private area of class.

Thanks Lee.

What not something like this?

procedure TDateForm.FormCreate(sender: TObject);
begin
TheDay := EncodeDate(2007,1,13);
end;

This is assuming that the "TheDay" var is declared in the form where it 
is accessible.
