Upgrading C++Builder and TeeChart

Gerard · Post by **Gerard** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 5:58 am

G'day,

Our company has been using C++Builder 6 with TeeChart Pro 6.01 for a while now. We've recently decided to upgrade to C++Builder 2009. We have a large project that we're trying to move to the new version of Builder.

This has caused problems because 2009 only has the standard version of TeeChart 8, and we use Pro objects. It also doesn't seem to like it much if I try to get it to use TeeChart 6 either, as it does not conform to the stricter code standards.

So it looks like it may be necessary to upgrade to v8 Pro. However, if we purchase an upgrade will that come as a stand-alone installer, or will it require TeeChart 6 to already be installed first?

The other option would be to edit the TeeChart 6.01 source to compile properly, but I haven't looked too much into how painful this would be.

Any suggestions / advice, please?

Hi Gerard,

It's a standalone installer, it doesn't require v6 being installed.

The other option would be to edit the TeeChart 6.01 source to compile properly, but I haven't looked too much into how painful this would be.

I'm afraid this would be a hard task as v8 needed to be modified to fully support Unicode as RAD Studio 2009 does.
