Delphi: All constants are constant, but some are more constant than others?
- by Ian Boyd
Consider:
clHotlight: TColor = $00FF9933;
clLink = clHotLight; //alias of clHotlight
[Error] file.pas: Constant expression expected
and the alternate wording that works:
clHotlight = TColor($00FF9933);
clLink = clHotLight; //alias of clHotlight
Explain.
Then consider:
AdministratorGUID: TGUID = '{DE44EEA0-6712-11D4-ADD4-0006295717DA}';
SuperuserGUID = AdministratorGUID; //alias of AdministratorGUID
[Error] file.pas: Constant expression expected
And fix.
