Hi,
I also think this would be useful, but for other reasons, often times I end up
with code like the following:
With BigLongThingIDontWantToWriteOutEverySingleTime do
begin
Height := 100;
Width := 200;
...
SomeOtherObject.Submit(BigLongThingIDontWantToWriteOutEverySingleTime);
end;
Notice how I have to write the long thing out again at the bottom. There must
be a way around that (Something like "Self", but that refers to whatever you
are using in With). In Xiangrong's example, this could be mci, but even it it
was a static name it would be useful. (If this exists and I am just not aware,
please let me know!)
Thank you,
Noah Silva
