Hi!

I'm having some trouble accessing controls on a form. What I tried to do
is to set up an array of TCheckBox-es and assign four checkboxes (which
are contained in a group box "GroupBox", which is on a form "Form") to it:

{=====}
var MyCheckBox : array [1..4] of TCheckBox;
    BoxN,Ctrl  : integer;
begin
  BoxN := 1;
  for Ctrl := 0 to GroupBox.ControlCount-1 do
    if( GroupBox.Controls[i] is TCheckBox ) then begin
      MyCheckBox[BoxN] := TCheckBox(GroupBox.Controls[i]);
      inc(BoxN);
    end{if};
  {endfor};
end;
{=====}

I can read the properties, but if I try to change a property with
"MyCheckBox[1].Checked := False;", I get an access violation error.

I *do* know that I can do the same thing with

{=====}
var MyCheckBox : array [1..4] of integer;
    BoxN,Ctrl  : integer;
begin
  BoxN := 1;
  for Ctrl := 0 to GroupBox.ControlCount-1 do
    if( GroupBox.Controls[i] is TCheckBox ) then begin
      MyCheckBox[BoxN] := i;
      inc(BoxN);
    end{if};
  {endfor};
end;
{=====}

and use "TCheckBox(GroupBox.Controls[1]).Checked := True;" to set the
checkbox state, but I've absolutely no idea why the first approach doesn't
work. Any ideas, anyone?

Please send me e-mail in addition to the newsgroup post.

Cheers, Jan
