It is because you have misunderstood something.

A string is not a simple POD type -- it is an object type -- which you cannot write directly to file (according to Delphi standards [and also ISO...

johnyjj2 if you really want help, please post your code.

It is easy enough with the mouse events.

The MouseMove event handler should do something like the following pseudocode:

In Pascal, a semicolon separates statements (and terminates directives).

So the following is correct:

program Hello; { Semicolon terminates directive }
begin
writeln( 'Hello world!' ) {...

BP variants don't accept binary numbers.
Assemblers accept binary numbers.
Since Delphi has a built-in assembler, you can use binary numbers with the assembler -- but not in the normal Pascal code....

Alas, you have little to look forward to. Unless you must decompile or reverse-engineer, you are typically better-off just rewriting the thing.

Hmm, you are right. My TP4 and TP5.5 both barf on both @x and addr(x).

It isn't a bug. Free Pascal is a little more strict about certain things than TP.
Your program should read:

What version of TP are you using? My TP4 wouldn't get past the 8+ letter filename.

An exception is a way of handling runtime errors (like stack overflow or page faults). Read more here:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refch14.html#x167-17400014

Enjoy!

FPC will generate exceptions for them. Check FPC's documentation for runtime errors.

Good luck!

Argh, I couldn't find a simple example on the web. So, without further ado:

hello.dpr

program hello;
{$apptype console}
uses greet;

var
index: cardinal;

Its full path is given as the first command-line argument. So you will want to add code to check to see if an mp3 file was supplied and autoplay it. How exactly you do it is up to you, but I...

I think I understand. You want the actual button itself to have the same shape as the polygon?

You'll have to create a region and assign it to your button.
See the MS Regions documentation...

Take a look in the documentation for the TCanvas.Pixels property. (Your button has a canvas). Also look at the OnMouseDown event.

That depends entirely on the OS and the compiler vendor.

Dynamic or static linkage?
