I have a project that compiles fine under 7.04 but under 8 gets the following error:

Error Number = 414
Error Description = ")" expected
        lpNMHDR       AS NMHDR PTR _

FORM = MAINFORM
CONTROL = GENERAL
MESSAGE = OTHER_CODE

If it is a parameter you need to add BYVAL. Pointers aren't allowed to be passed by reference.

I will double check all the code generating to ensure that pointers get generated with a ByVal.

I compiled 8 different projects. Only two came up with the error.

Here is the code section where the problem is:

Code Select

Function VALIDFORM_LISTVIEW1_LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT ( _
                                             ControlIndex  As Long,            _  ' index in Control Array
                                             hWndForm      As Dword,           _  ' handle of Form
                                             hWndControl   As Dword,           _  ' handle of Control
                                             lpNMV         As NM_LISTVIEW Ptr  _  ' pointer to NM_LISTVIEW
                                             ) As Long

and here is the other one:

Code Select

Function MAINFORM_MAINTABS_TCN_SELCHANGE ( _
                                         ControlIndex  As Long,      _  ' index in Control Array
                                         hWndForm      As Dword,     _  ' handle of Form
                                         hWndControl   As Dword,     _  ' handle of Control
                                         lpNMHDR       As NMHDR Ptr  _  ' pointer to NMHDR
                                         ) As Long

FF generated code. Something else for Paul to do ... :D

Yes, it is definately the BYVAL pointer issue that is the problem. I have fixed it for the next update, but that update is a few days away at the earliest. I am not sure, but maybe you can try manually adding the ByVal to the function.

e.g.
ByVal lpNMV As NM_LISTVIEW Ptr

I would send you an update, but the new version of FireFly is substantially different (internally) then the version that you are using now so in order to avoid further complications you should either wait, or continue to use 7.04 compiler until the update is released.
