The Delphi Bug List

Steps to reproduce (see also included example):

1. Start Delphi.
2. Create a New Application
3. Select "Project/View Source"
4. Before the "Begin" line, enter the following

       const
         BUGTITLE = 'This will cause problems';

5. Between the lines "Application.Initialize;" and "Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);", enter the following:

         Application.Title := BUGTITLE;

6. Save all files.
7. During saving, you might get "Error in module Project1: Call to Application.CreateForm is missing or incorrect"
8. If you didn't get the error now, close the project and try to reopen it, then you should get the error.
9. I also get exceptions, for instance in "CORIDE50" and sometimes "DCLSTD" when exiting Delphi after causing this error.

Note:
If you instead write

    Application.Title := 'This will cause problems';

(Note from checker: Versions of Delphi prior to 5 did display an error when Application.Title was assigned a constant, but they did not generate access violations that interfered with the loading of other projects.)

Mandi Paugh adds:
Bug #645 still exists in Delphi 6 Update Pack 2. However it doesn't cause the IDE to crash, it just issues the error and halts loading the project (it appears to half-load it).

D6 complains similarly but does not crash. However I fail to see what the problem is - just assign the application title in the project options dialog as you are meant to.

This also happens when you use the Application.Title multiple times in your project.

The following code:
[code]
Application.Initialize;

Application.Title := 'Title';

FindWindow('TApplication', Pchar(Application.Title));

Application.CreateForm(TXxx, Xxx);
Application.Run;
[code]
causes the same errors.
