Hi Myles,

CB_AddString takes a null terminated string, ie. PChar, as an LParam
parameter, ie. Integer. You could just cast the string to a pchar, and
thence to an integer, but I have a funny feeling that if you do reference

That's just a typo. OnBeforeScroll runs before scrolling and OnAfterScroll
after. But if the dataset needs to be posted before scrolling, the post
will occur before OnBeforeScroll gets fired. What is it you're trying to

A rare, but potentially nasty, case to beware of:
// Does not work
procedure TForm1.SortListBox(AListBox: TListBox);

AListBox.Sorted := True; // to sort the contents
AListBox.Sorted := False; // eg. to allow drag/dropping of items
end;
The code as written doesn't work. Set
I've submitted this as a bug (similar to #62554 listed in
compiler\delphi\code generation\optimization, but not fixed in Delphi 5). A
workaround is to declare the array as const.

procedure Execute(A: array of variant);
begin
ShowMessage('Exiting...');
Exit;
ShowMessage(A[0]); // This never runs, but ANY
I sent this message to the list within minutes of the other but it didn't
arrive, so here it is again (out of date and no longer pertinent, but for
the sake of completeness... :-)
Cheers,
Carl
