TDBChart doesn't show up on Component Palate

Hi

I am currently using delphi 7.01 along with TeeChart 6.01 Pro

I noticied that I do not have the dbchart on my teechart component palatte and that my TChart is on my "additional Palatte"

I am also using Report Builder 9.02 and 2 dbcharts appear there

There is a TppDBTeechart and a TppDPTeeChart

When I right click on my component, It shows I am using the correct version. I am wondering if somehow my dcu's are mixed up or when I upgraded that maybe something from an old version was left behind

When I try to look at the demo source codes that include the dbChart I get the error "Error Creating Form:Ancestor for TBaseDBChart"

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Tikii,

component palatte and that my TChart is on my "additional Palatte"
That's correct, and TDBChart is on "Data Controls" palette. That's mainly because TeeChart components shipped with Delphi are locatted there. It wasn't until TeeChart Pro v7 VCL release that all TeeChart controls were grouped under "TeeChart" palette.
I am also using Report Builder 9.02 and 2 dbcharts appear there

It could be you have some old TeeChart files referenced by your Delphi 7 version. You should make sure them not being on your TeeChart folders, not being on Project -> Options -> Packages list and their paths not being at Project -> Options -> Directories/Conditionals -> Search Path list.

If the problem still persists using Report Builder components for TeeChart, you could try doing the same with a TDBChart component. If the problem persist please let us know. Otherwise please contact Digital Metaphors (Report Builder manufacturers) support.
