Compile error with forms
« on: September 26, 2021, 07:01:49 pm »
Hi,

on my main form, the following is working (f is a TForm):
f.BoundsRect := Rect(0,0,ClientWidth, ClientHeight);

on all other forms, this line results in the compile error
"Syntax error, ")" expected but "," found"

It seems that the compiler expects "Rect(0)"...

I searched through my source code - no "Rect" function, variable or whatever found.
What is going wrong here?

Thx,

At least on Windows, there are two rect() definitions. One in the Windows unit.
Try changing unit order.

To be honest: The solution of Thaddy was absolutely sufficient ;)
