this works in Delphi

[wolfdreamer]

i am running lazarus 1.4 on win 32

this section of code worked smoothly on Delphi. and as so many of the old codes i worked with back then i figered this should....

  StatusBar.Panels[sbpCursor].Text:= Format ('%D/%D',
     [core.CaretPos.y+1, core.CaretPos.x=1];

all it dose is take the x/y postion on a richmemo and display in a panel on the status bar. but this kicks up a error about '%d/%d'

Post all relevant information what you describe is not possible start with the precise error message and a working copy paste of the code. Please keep in mind that a rewrite of the existing code will not do we tend to pollute the code with our understanding leaving out details in the process. For example the code you posted has a typing error on the second parameter passed ee core.caretPos.x=1 is probably mend to be core.caretPos.x+1.

Are you sure it worked in Delphi? Because core.CaretPos.x=1 would evaluate as boolean, not integer as you would like (give attention to the equal sign).

Perhaps it would work if you replace core.CaretPos.x=1 with something else like core.CaretPos.x

thank you.

I had looking at that code trying to work out what i'd messed up, and never noticed the typo.

correct typo code works.
