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);
