Hi,

the following code creates correctly a TextLayer:

ImageEnView1.LayersAdd('Double-click to edit Text', 40, clBlack, 'Arial', [], 0, 0);

meanwhile the following doesn't compile generating the error "There is no overload version of "LayersAdd' that can be called with these arguments."

ImageEnView1.LayersAdd(ielkText);

I remember that I used the second, short version in the past. What am I missing?

Hi Al

That should certainly work (and does when I test it here). What version of Delphi are you using?

Delphi 10.3 and ImageEn 10.1.0

Hi Al

I cannot see a good reason for that (assuming ielkText is not a type that you define somewhere in your own code).

Hi Nigel,

I created a new project with only ImageEnView1.LayersAdd(ielkText) and it works, so the problem is inside the specific Delphi project I'm working on. I'll investigate and let you know.

Hi Nigel,

your thought was right, the string ielkText was erroneaously passed as object variable. Once corrected, ImageEnView1.LayersAdd(ielkText) works perfectly as usual.
