To do shapes in the form I use a vector that stores a struct with the x, y, color and shape values of every shape I put on the form.

I have to save and open these values.

To save and open files with shapes.


I use a TOpenDialog and a TSaveDialog.


I save the values fine, but when I have to write the open code I try that the same vector receive the saved values but it doesn't accept it.
It sends an exception with the vector.


I had to use 4 vectors, one for the x, other for the y, other for the color and other for the shape.


Could you tell me how can make it with one vector only?

you can create a structure that contains the x, y, color and shape, then have a vector of those structs.

I already did that struct and the vector and I save this in a file, but when I have to open the file, in the code to open it, I want to use the same vector to store the values saved in the file, but it sends me an exception.
