Design time bugs in 8.01 using Delphi 2006

[Gainco]

Place a TeeChart on a form. Add a Gantt Series. Add the GanttTool. Close project and re-open.
On two different computers and two different programmers, we see the "Cannot find TGanttTool" message.

If you go to your PAS and attempt to open TeeGanttTool, you will then receive an Error Creating form: Ancestor for 'TeeToolSeriesEdit not found'.

You will be able to get past that error but it is unnerving.

I went into the examples and found one using Gantt tool. It worked! But then I examined the source and discovered that the TGanttTool was being created in code, along with the comment:
// Initialize Gantt Tool programatically (can be done at design-time too)
Hmmmmmmm...

We created the tool in code and that corrected the Gantt tool problem but now I only have to deal with another problem.

If I exit Delphi and re-open and then re-open my project, I see the chart but it is no longer an inter-active chart. If I right-click on the chart, I only see the standard Delphi menu. No edit chart, About TeeChart, etc. Somehow, it has become disconnnected from it property editor.

Strangely I discovered an unacceptable work-around. While trying to understand what was happening, I opened the TeeChart Pro 8 example.

After doing a little touring, I returned to my project. But now the TeeChart on the form acted like a design time TeeChart.

As stated ealier, this is happening in two different set-ups.

What do you suggest?

Hi Larry,

Are you using v8.01 from September 2007? I'm not able to reproduce the problem here.

If the problem persists could you please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here? You can post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

I am using TeeChart 8.01.10798 Win32. Example on the way.

[Gainco]

I sent an example and a text file of my search anf browse paths.

I also sent a small video of the phenomena described. It is very poor quality due to the limitation of your upload size. You will still see when opening the project that the TeeChart menu items are missing and when I then open the Tee8New_2007 project, close it and return to my project, I then have the TeeChart menu.

Thanks

Hi Gainco,

I'm still unable to reproduce the problem here. Would you mind posting a higher resolution video as current one is unreadable? You shouldn't have problems posting bigger files at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gainco,

Thanks for the information. It's strange as I can post files bigger than 1 MB and some clients posted bigger files as well. Anyway, I'll try investigating this issue. In the meantime, could you please send the file to info at steema dot com and tell the e-mail is related to this forum thread?

Thanks in advance!

It's not 1 MB. It is 11.3 MB. I have e-mailed the video but it is still struggling to clear my outbox.

Hi Gainco,

Thanks for sending us the video. The problem is very strange, the only think we can think of is that the IDE is still using old TeeChart references. We recommend you to try uninstalling TeeChart, remove all old files from your machine and install again and create a new application using TeeChart to see if the problem persists.

Thanks in advance.
