Hello

I'm trying to use the Item property within Delphi 6 such as: -

FMap.Shapes.Item[1].Name := 'my name';

but it keeps giving me the erorr message: -

Types of actual and formal var parameters must be identical

I must admit, I'm lost around variants and Olevariants, so I don't know where to start looking for a problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Top204:

You first need to define a variable to store the item number. In your routine, create a variable defined as an olevariant. For example:


procedure TFMain.AssignName;
var ilevariant;
begin
FMap.Shapes.Item[i].Name := 'my name';
end;

That should do it.
