Help with Compiler error

Simontelescopium · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2009, 09:22 PM

Hi I am trying to compile a prog. and get the error

Error compiling program.
Error message: error CS1525: Invalid expression term ';'
Line Number: 43
Line AddLabel("systeminfo","labPname",5,currentheight,4 70, sizeoffont+10)

programs runs fine just can't compile

these are the relevant bits of the code...

Code:

41: sizeoffont= 18
42: currentheight=140
43: AddLabel("systeminfo","labPname",5,currentheight,470,sizeoffont+10)

from the error I was expecting to find ';' in the code on line 43 but it is not there, so I am stuck as to what to do...

Any help really appreciated...

If you look at the help file for AddLabel:

Quote:

Adds a Label to a Form or to a Panel at runtime.
Syntax: AddLabel (Form | Panel, Name, Left, Top, Width, Height, Text)

Example: AddLabel ("pnlOptions"," Label1", 5, 5, 40, 20, "Option:")

You are missing the last parameter, the text of the label.

Your line should look like:

Code:

43: AddLabel("systeminfo","labPname",5,currentheight,470,sizeoffont+10,"")

Even if there is no text in the label you must add the 2 Quotes.

Best regards.

Brilliant thanks - I was adding the text a few lines later - I would really expect this to give an error when running in interpreter mode.

I really appreciate your help
