Hi everyone,

I am trying to create an array of TShapes.  So far I have tried the
following:

In the form header:
ShapeArray[11]  *TShape;

In the forms FormCreate section I have put in this code:

for(i = 0; i <= 11; i++)
{
    ShapeArray[i]->Shape = stSquare;
    ShapeArray[i]->Top =  100;
    ShapeArray[i]->Left = 100;
    ShapeArray[i]->Width = 25;
    ShapeArray[i]->Height = 25;
    ShapeArray[i]->Brush->Color = clRed;
    ShapeArray[i]->Visible = false;
    ShapeArray[i]->Enabled = true;
}

The result is an access violation and the program fails.

I have tried to create the shape object not in an array and this runs but no
TShape object appears on the form.

Can anyone help me to get this working?

Thanks

Joff
