Jack,


Don't put a space in the declaration.

That is: Array(-1, -1) will fail but Array(-1,-1) will work.


Yes, it's a bug in the declaration entry field. If a space is placed intentionally or inadvertently between the arguments the property declaration is truncated at that point upon run or tab.


Very interesting. Ordinarily RB is very forgiving on spacing or use of case, much more so than Visual Basic. As far as I know, in the actual source code it doesn't matter whether or not you have a space after a comma, a space before or after a parentheses symbol, or a space before or after a mathematical symbol (+, -, *, /, ^). Nor do differences in case (upper/lower) cause any problems.


True, and in 5.5 declaring properties MyArray(-1, -1) or MyArray(10, 10) with spaces works fine. So I think it's a 2005 IDE bug.

Jack
