How to Declare TIniFile 1

[annmartinson]

I'm a gross beginner, decent in PHP, new to Delphi. I've copied some code from a tutorial that is in part >

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  Ini: TIniFile;

begin
  Ini := TIniFile.Create( ChangeFileExt( Application.ExeName, '.ini' ) );
  try
    ImportDir:= Ini.ReadString('General','ImportDir','\\Server\MDServe\Server\Data\Emc_new');
    Top     := Ini.ReadInteger( 'Form', 'Top', 100 );
    Left    := Ini.ReadInteger( 'Form', 'Left', 100 );
    Caption := Ini.ReadString( 'Form', 'Caption', 'New Form' );
    if Ini.ReadBool( 'Form', 'InitMax', false ) then
      WindowState = wsMaximized
    else

      WindowState = wsNormal;
  finally
    TIniFile.Free;
  end;
end;

when I attempt to compile I am getting "Undeclared identifier: 'IniFile'

I know this is basic, basic, but I have no idea what to do next. I am assuming something goes above in the 'uses' or 'type' section, but I have no idea what.

OS is Win2000, Delphi 7.0

thanks much!

Hi,

just add inifiles to the uses list.
if you are uncertain what unit to add, put the cursor under Tinifile and tap F1, the help file usually indicates which component resides in what unit...

cheers,
Daddy
