TElTimerPool; Access to Timers

MP GmbH

How can I access separate timers?

ElTimerPool1->Items[0]->Enabled = true;

This expression does not work, how to do it correctly?

Can you clarify, what you mean saying "does not work"? The following expression in Delphi compiles well:

ElTimerPool1.Items[0].Enabled := True;

And I guess your expression is also valid in C++.

With expression ElTimerPool1->Items[0]->Enabled = true  I get the following compiler errors:

[bcc32c Fehler] Unit1.cpp(22): member reference type 'Eltimers::TElTimerPool *' is a pointer; did you mean to use '->'?

[bcc32c Fehler] Unit1.cpp(22): no member named 'Enabled' in 'Eltimers::TElTimerPoolItems'

C++Builder 11

I thought I had a syntax error.

Ok, sorry, your right, in C++ there will be a syntax error. Because C++ Builder, as opposed to Delphi, does not recognize so called "default" indexed properties. So, you have to write:

ElTimerPool1->Items->Items[0]->Enabled = true;

This is similar to all other VCL collections, for example Lines in TMemo:

Memo1.Lines[0]           := 'some string'; // Delphi

Memo1->Lines->Strings[0]  = "some string"; // C++

So simple. Thank you.
