Message

'text' : typedef object illegal in this context

Description

The structure type specified by text was encountered at a location where it is not allowed.

Troubleshooting Information

This error occurs in a function prototype that declares a structure type as one of its parameters. This is not allowed. Instead, declare the parameter as a pointer to a structure by following the name of the structure type with the keyword POINTER, as shown below:

typedef RECT

begin

SHORT sX;

SHORT sY;

end;

RECT Rectangle;

RECT POINTER pRect;

prototype SizeRectangle(RECT POINTER);
