Type name expected, but IT IS A TYPE!!! 1

[biot023]

Hallo.
If, on my form's opening, I declare the following:

arr=new Tball_arr(23);

... I have no problem (Tball_arr is a class with nothing I can spot wrong in it).

However, if I try to declare it in the form's header, I get two bitchy errors - one about an expected ';' in the line (it's there), and the first telling me that a type name was expected.
I get the feeling I've come across this before, but I've no idea how (if I didn't just say 'stuff it') I fixed it.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I've run into this before,
If memory serves me right, I believe if you declare the class in the header file above the class declaration, you will be ok.

for example if you have a Form called Main:

class Tball_arr;

class TFrmMain : public TForm
{
yada;
yada;
yada;
}

Would I then be able to access it from another form? I tried it as a global (sorry, anyone who reads that!), and I couldn't access it.

you should be able to as long as you declare the instance of the class as public in the form.

//FrmMain.h

class Tball_arr;

class TFrmMain : public TForm
{
yada;
yada;
yada;
public:
Tball_arr TheArrays[32];
}
