I am trying to migrate from Delphi 6 to Delphi 2010, but I cannot find the GetTickCount function in Delphi 2010. I have IdGlobal, SysUtils, and DateUtils in my uses clause.
var
RefreshTick : Cardinal;
begin
RefreshTick := GetTickCount;
end;
It gives me an error:
Undeclared identifier : GetTickCount
What’s an alternative to this?
As you’ve since discovered, the
GetTickCountfunction you were using was provided by the IdGlobal unit. It had the same name as a Windows API function. The function you were using is now namedTicks. Either add Windows to your uses clause to get the API function, or change your code to use the new name instead.It looks like the name change came sometime in 2004. You should try to be more diligent about keeping your Indy library up to date. Don’t just use the version that comes with Delphi — it was probably outdated before you even got it. Always download the latest version from Indy’s source control.
