Problem: cpp does not recognise others Form edit-box

Hello!

I added(imported) a working cpp to my existing program.

know i need the value fo an edit box of the imported Form in another Form.
When compiling there is the Error "Edit1 is not Member of TFormX".

Is there something special i have to do that this error disappears? All declarations have been made!

Thanks for any help

A couple ways to correct that:

1. Change TFormX to be of the same class in which Edit1 is declared and add all its methods to that class.

2. Pass Edit1 as a parameter to whatever function that is using it.

Hi!

Thanks for you answer. But i've found out what the problem was.

The imported cpp had the same name as on old cpp from the project which i already had removed....but not deleted. So everything was referencing a cpp-file with the same name, but other elements, which then were not reconized. Now i renamed the complete stuff.

By the way, when i remove a cpp from a project, it still is there. What si the right way to delete it so that it doesn't cause any problems?

Thanks

When you delete a cpp or .h from the project, it does not delete the source file(s). You have to do that yourself.

Ok, thank you very much!
