[Solved] Uses clause item for Lcl > ExtCtrls

[nikel]

Hello, I'm trying to make a command line program which detects idle time and shutdown device using Pascal. I want to use TIdleTimer but it's giving me error:

detectidle.lpr(31,16) Error: Identifier not found "TIdleTimer"

How can I fix this error? How can I add TIdleTimer programmatically?

Does your project options include the LCL as a requirement?   To my knowledge, a new command line project does not automatically include the LCL as a requirement.

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find any setting to include LCL.

Please try the following:

Open the "Project" menu and select "Project Inspector ..."
Click on the "Add" button
Select "New Requirement"
Type in "LCL"
Select the "LCL" item in the listbox
Press the OK button

Then try compiling your project.

It works now. Thanks a lot.
