Hi, I'm using FPC 2.4.3
Why is the following operator overload not allowed? Sometimes TfpgColor can be a RRGGBB value (eg: clRed), and sometimes it is an index to a color palette (eg: clWindowBackground). So I want to do comparisons between two such colors. The compiler error I get: ..../programming/fpgui/src/corelib/fpg_main.pas(414,58) Error: Impossible operator overload The types are defined as follows: type TfpgColor = type longword; TFPColor = record Red: word; Green: word; Blue: word; Alpha: word; end; ... now the unit with the compiler error ... interface section: operator = (const AColor1, AColor2: TfpgColor) b: Boolean; implementation section: operator = (const AColor1, AColor2: TfpgColor) b: Boolean; var c1, c2: TFPColor; begin c1 := fpgColorToFPColor(AColor1); c2 := fpgColorToFPColor(AColor2); b := (c1.Red = c2.Red) and (c1.Green = c2.Green) and (c1.Blue = c2.Blue) and (c1.Alpha = c2.Alpha); end; -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
