Untyped file declaration throws an error
|
|
|
| There may be an easy answer to this, but I've searched for an hour
with no luck at all.
I'm using Delphi 8, and I'm trying to read a binary file. When I try
to declare a variable as an untyped file, as in...
myFile : File;
I get an error... "Unsupported Language Feature: 'typed or untyped
file'"
My uses are;
System.Drawing, System.Collections, System.ComponentModel,
System.Windows.Forms, System.Data, Dialogs, System.IO,
Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
StdCtrls, ExtCtrls, FileCtrl, System.Resources;
I know that is a lot of unnecessary uses, but I'm a newbie to Delphi
and I was trying to see if something was missing from the uses
section.
Please help!
Thanks - Hop

| sorry to inform you but D8 does not do the standard Pascal native code .
it is Strictly D8 for .NET only.. borland took it upon them self's to
release a compiler for .NET and call it D8 which is just one version
above the last compiler D7 which does do what you need.
in short, D8 is .NET code only ! Borland simply try to supply enough
unit lib's to make functions/procedures as near to the native pascal D7
language as possible
they claim D8 for .NET had to be released because of ship dates etc.
if you ask me, it was simply a ploy to get more people to purchase it
and have it loaded on their PC's.. so what you have is a lot of people
thinking it should just be a simply advancement over prior versions of
delphi.. but instead its just a language look alike that is totally
different and does not offer the win32 core.
sounds like crook ate marketing strategies to me.

| Yes.
I'll have to say that this little issue has me fairly alarmed.
Especially since the reference to using untyped files came from the
help file. >=(
I'll have to look at TFileStream I guess. Here we go again.
