Hi all,

If anyone can have a look at the following, and give me some advice..
i'm a newbie programmer :-)

Line
cfg := TXMLConfig.create('myconfig.xml');
in the following example gives me this error when i try to run it in
Lazarus 0.9.12 under Windows XP SP2
Please ignore the line numbers, as the example is cut & pasted.

Unit1.pas(43,41) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got
"AnsiString", expected "TComponent"


The following text is from the "Using XML for configuration files"
Written by Thomas Zastrow.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var cfg: TXMLConfig;
    s:string;
begin
 cfg := TXMLConfig.create('myconfig.xml');
 cfg.SetValue(KeyName2write.text, Value2write.text);
 cfg.free;
 Messages.caption := 'Key/value was saved!';
end;

You should be doing:

 cfg := TXMLConfig.create(Self);
 cfg.Filename := 'myconfig.xml';
