Delphi Compiler Error
E2133 TYPEINFO standard function expects a type identifier
Reason for the Error & Solution
You have attempted to obtain type information for an identifier which does not represent a type.
program Produce;
var
p : Pointer;
procedure NotType;
begin
end;
begin
p := TypeInfo(NotType);
end.
The TypeInfo standard procedure requires a type identifier as it’s parameter. In the code above, ‘NotType’ does not represent a type identifier.
program Solve;
type
Base = class
end;
var
p : Pointer;
begin
p := TypeInfo(Base);
end.
By ensuring that the parameter used for TypeInfo is a type identifier, you will avoid this error.
