[SOLVED] „Error: Constant and CASE types do not match‟ with string
«

Following code works right:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
procedure
TForm1
.
Button1Click
(
Sender
:
TObject
)
;
var
A
:
string
=
''
;
B
:
string
=
'B'
;
C
:
string
=
'C'
;
begin
A
:
=
B
;
case
A
of
'B'
:
ShowMessage
(
B
)
;
'C'
:
ShowMessage
(
C
)
;
end
;
end
;
But this code generates „Error: Constant and CASE types do not match‟.
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
procedure
TForm1
.
Button1Click
(
Sender
:
TObject
)
;
var
A
:
string
=
''
;
B
:
string
=
'B'
;
C
:
string
=
'C'
;
begin
A
:
=
B
;
case
A
of
B
:
ShowMessage
(
B
)
;
C
:
ShowMessage
(
C
)
;
end
;
end
;
B and C are strings. I tryed to cast to cast them to strings, anyway, but still I get the same error?
Is it me doing sth. wrong?

In the second example, you use variables as selectors, instead of constants (B is a variable; 'B' is a constant). You cannot use variables as selectors.

Needs a literal value, indeed.

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

You should read the second part of the error message 'Error: String expression expected'. The case labels must be constants (i.e. literals or true constants). Your construct would throw equivalent message even for integer variables. The following code does work:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
var
A
:
string
=
''
;
const
B
=
'B'
;
C
=
'C'
;
begin
A
:
=
B
;
case
A
of
B
:
writeln
(
B
)
;
C
:
writeln
(
C
)
;
end
;
end
;
