programtype, childtype

edited February 2010 in RAP
Hi again,

in the last few days, I learned a lot about RAP.

Today, I would like to create a global procedure, e. g. like this:

procedure myProc (aString: string);
begin
ShowMessage(aString);
end;

Since now, I do like this:

lProgram:= lCodeModule.FindGlobalProgram('myProc');
if (lProgram = nil) then begin
lprogram:= traProgram.create;
lprogram.SourceLines.Clear;
lprogram.SourceLines.Add('procedure myProc(aString; string);');
lprogram.SourceLines.Add('begin');
lprogram.SourceLines.Add(' ShowMessage(aString);');
lprogram.SourceLines.Add('end;');

lCodeModule.AddProgram(lProgram);
lCodeModule.Build(false);
end;

I get no errors, but when opening the report in the designer and choose the
module view, i find myProc in the Event Handlers, but not in Global -
Programs, where I would expect it.

I saw the properties programtype and childtype, but didn't find any further
detail (rap.hlp, rbwiki etc.)

Thanks for help

Marion

    Hi Marion,

    Try setting the ChildType property of the TraProgram to ctGlobalProgram.
    You will need to add raTypes to your uses clause.

    Different ChildType enumerations...

    ctConstProgram:
    ctVarProgram:
    ctCreateProgram:
    ctDestroyProgram:
    ctGlobalProgram:

    I will update the rbWiki to include this information.
