Yes, you have to activate the Delphi or ObjFPC compilation mode. You  
may want to read http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Code_Conversion_Guide 
  if you are coming from Delphi or Kylix (e.g., this issue is  
mentioned here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Code_Conversion_Guide#Selecting_the_right_compiler_mode 
  )
