TeeEdit unit and delphi's resource dll

Post by Copeau » Fri Mar 17, 2006 11:48 am

Hello hello

I use a chart and i have to use the TeeEdit unit. (i don't even know which object is using this unit, it is added automaticaly)

when i try to use the resource dll expert, i get the message :
"cannot find ....\delphi7\lib\AREAEDIT.dfm file" (approximatively, i've translated it from french, i don't know the exact english message).

of course, this file doesn't exist in delphi7 directory.
actually it exists only in delphi4 directory...

What sould i do ?

as i need to achieve this translation very quickly,
perhaps you can tell me what kinfd of features are implemented in this teeEdit unit, so that i can remove it from my project and run the resource dll.

thank you

here is the exhaustive list of the 18 files required by the resource dll when the TeeEdit unit is used :

AREAEDIT.dfm
ARROWEDI.dfm
AXISINCR.dfm
AXMAXMIN.dfm
BAREDIT.dfm
BRUSHDLG.dfm
BUBBLEDI.dfm
CUSTEDIT.dfm
FLINEEDI.dfm
GANTTEDI.dfm
IEDITCHA.dfm
PENDLG.dfm
PIEEDIT.dfm
SHAPEEDI.dfm
TEEABOUT.dfm
TEEGALLY.dfm
TEEPREVI.dfm
TEEXPORT.dfm

these files are present only in the delphi4 directory.
to run the resource dll expert, i had to copy these files in the Delphi7 directory, then it generates all the forms for each language.
But i don't use these forms, and i don't want to use them.
And moreover, i'm sure these files are not relevant.

edit:
+ it works also with empty forms, or any form actually.
+ all these files exist in the TeeChart Sources with the TEE- prefix.. there shouldn't be any access to these "old" files... I couldn't find where they are referenced...
Really i don't understand... I'm going crazy ;-)

Hi,

That's true. Most TeeChart files have Tee in front of their name (in the Pro version). So, in "areaedit.dfm" case the correct name is :

TeeAreaEdit.dfm.

The solution is to update the resource dll with new names (check Delphi help for how to do it).
