[Solved] Error: Only class methods, class properties and

[nikel]

Hi I'm trying to access variable of a class but getting this error:

Error: Only class methods, class properties and class variables can be referred with class references

Here's my code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit Lng;
2.  
3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
4.  
5. interface
6.  
7. uses
8.   Classes, SysUtils,
9.   dom, xmlread, XMLUtils, XMLPropStorage;
10.  
11. type
12.  
13.   {LanguageUnit}
14.  
15.   TLanguageUnit1=class
16.  
17.     procedure Create(Sender: TObject);
18.  
19. const
20.  
21.   private
22.     FActionLblCaption: String;
23. ...

Main Form:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   ShowMessage(lng.TLanguageUnit1.ActionLblCaption);

How can I fix this?

its in the private section, not doable..
 
employable a Property so that you can have a getter Function..
 Function GetLangString:String;
Public
 property Lang :String; Read GetLangString;

End;

Implementation

 TLanguageUnit1.GetLangStriing:String;
  Begin
   Result := fActionLB1Caption;
 End;

That is off the top of my head...
you'll need to work that out

You can only access that property via instance of a class, not the class itself.

You need something like:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. LanguageUnit1:=TLanguageUnit1.Create;

and then

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. lng.LanguageUnit1.ActionLblCaption

I must be getting over the hill, I didn't notice he was doing Class access like that..

Hi thanks for the replies. Initializing the class fixed the problem. But now I can't access function:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. LanguageUnit:=TLanguageUnit1.Create;
2. LanguageUnit.SetText;

I'm getting weird error.

EDIT: My problem isn't accessing a function. I'll mark this subject as solved.
