I am using Delphi 5 Enterprise with all updates.

I have tried to import the Microsoft ActiveX Merge Control but get "left
side cannot be assigned to" at the following line in the Type Library:

TControlData2(CControlData).FirstEventOfs := Cardinal(@@FOnStatus) -
Cardinal(Self);

I have search Google and found a few similar errors when importing and using
ActiveX controls, but most are related to using Delphi 6. And, further, I
have found no explanation for the error or what can be done to successfully
import the ActiveX control.

Can anyone please help me with this?

I set the following compiler options and the problem was resolved:

(1) Typed @ operator

(2) Assignable typed constants
