Delphi Compiler Error
E2233 Property ‘%s’ inaccessible here
Reason for the Error & Solution
An attempt has been made to access a property through a class reference type. It is not possible to access fields nor properties of a class through a class reference.
program Produce;
type
TBase = class
public
FX : Integer;
property X : Integer read FX write FX;
end;
TBaseClass = class of TBase;
var
BaseRef : TBaseClass;
x : Integer;
begin
BaseRef := TBase;
x := BaseRef.X;
end.
Attempting to access the property X in the example above causes the compiler to issue an error.
program Solve;
type
TBase = class
public
FX : Integer;
property X : Integer read FX write FX;
end;
TBaseClass = class of TBase;
var
BaseRef : TBaseClass;
x : Integer;
begin
BaseRef := TBase;
end.
There is no other solution to this problem than to remove the offending property access from your source code. If you wish to access properties or fields of a class, then you need to create an instance variable of that class type and gain access through that variable.
