Yes, the absence of a result. Results sometimes require special handling (strings etc).
I can call a function to set that property, but I wonder why a setter can't be a function?
Because there is no result. Where is the result in MyControl.Top:=3; ? Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
