Hey everyone,
I am using the *.tee format to store some measurements that I recorded using TeeChart VCL for Delphi 2007. I have been using this feature for years.
Recently I noticed that I was not able to open older *.tee Files in my newest software releases anymore. There were propably saved using a different version of TeeChart like 7 or earlier. Now I am using TeeChart 8
I can load the ones that I store with the new versions of my software.
The other way around it doesn't work either. When I start an older version of my software then it is possible to load the old *.tee files, but no chance on any new *.tee file.

When I try this using TeeChart Office I can load older as well as newer *.tee files.

The code I use to load the files is:

Code: Select all

      
  {$IFDEF CLR}
  tmp:=TCustomChart(Rec_Chart);
  LoadChartFromFile(tmp,OpenDialog.FileName);
  Chart1:=TChart(tmp);
  {$ELSE}
  LoadChartFromFile(TCustomChart(Rec_Chart),OpenDialog.FileName);
  {$ENDIF}

How do I need to change the code to load both older and newer *.tee files?
I hope someone can help me on this issue.

Hi Oracle,

For compatibility with older versions you can try using LoadChartFromStreamCheck setting TryReadData to true. If you have the templates in files you'll have to load them into a stream first.

Hope this helps!

great. Thanks. I load the *.tee Files now like this:

Code: Select all

      tmp.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog.FileName);
      tmp.Position:=0;
      LoadChartFromStreamCheck(TCustomChart(Rec_Chart),tmp, CheckError, True);

And it works just fine

Thank you for your fast support
