Re: [Lazarus] global items in TApplication

In short, you can't put it in the .dpr if you want it to be accessible from all units. Actually, there's not really any magic behind TApplication, you can still create your own TApplication descendant (preferably in its own unit) and assign that to Application variable. Provide a global property to

[Lazarus] global items in TApplication

Hi, in the process of restructuring an old application I'm stuck on the question where to put globals. For example a global configuration object that has to be available in many units. The problem ist: - I cannot include the main program file (.lpr) in the "uses" clause, which means simple varia
