Weird Compilation error

Gentlemen,

I have a VCX library which we have developed that uses collections and I keep getting a compilation error:

Visual Class Library d:\dev\flexipol\flexispec\classes\traffic_light.vcx has the following errors:

Unknown OCOLLECTION_X - Undefined

The collection is mainly used in the "myRefresh" event of the component (base class is a container) and is initialised to null on the property sheet, subsequently getting populated in the actual <<container>>.oCollection_Assign method::

* ControlSource_Assign Method

Lparameters vNewVal

Local oCollection_1 As Collection

Local I

This.oCollection = Evaluate(vNewVal)

This.Control_Source = m.vNewVal

oCollection_1 = This.oCollection

... etc.

The collection thus assigned is manipulated in the myRefresh method and basically parsed through element by element refreshing a discrete control for every instance in the collection.

* myRefresh Method

Local oCollection_x as Collection

local I

local oLight

Local lDoTextMerge

local cOldAlias

cOldAlias = Alias()

oCollection_x = This.oCollection

I=1

For Each oObj In oCollection_x

... etc etc.

All the coding works despite this damned error being thrown at compile time and I have tried all types of External commands thinking that the oCollection not being found could be fixed as you do with external arrays. However there isn't an "External Collection" command... so I am now stuck!

Any ideas?

Dave
