<div>Apart from any other books, also look for the Delphi Language guide or Delphi Development Guide that came on disk with your Delphi setup, and copy it/them to CDROM and have it printed out at a reasonibly proced copy centre, they could spiral bind it and put clear plastic covers on it.

<br><br><br>Here is something that puzzles me, and maybe I have missed something, or my<br>D5 compiler is inconsistent, or I am doing it wrong?<br><br>I have a group of external procedures in a code only unit (no form) and to
<br>access them I just have the unit in the uses clause and then call in code by<br>name eg<br><br> externalproc1(arg1,arg2,arg3....)<br><br>If the other unit has a form attached then I use the same uses syntax, but I<br>
have to call it by<br><br> frmOtherform.externalproc1(arg1,arg2,arg3...)<br><br>Except that I think I have also have found sometimes the compiler does seem<br>to figure out where the externalproc1 is and doesn't always require the
<br>formname before the procedure.<br><br>All I was trying to do was call some code in an external unit which does<br>printing, and the only reason I have a form for that unit is that I plonked<br>the printdialog on it (it doesn't have anything else on the form) as it
<br>seemed best to keep it with the printing code. But it made calling the<br>printing routines more verbose. Is there a better way to do it?<br><br>John<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Delphi mailing list
