Compilation error in TeCanvas.hpp

[PurL]

Hello,

I develop under BCB5Pro and I use TeeChart Pro v7.07 with sources.
I develop two applications.
In the first, I have no problem with TeeChart.
But in the second, I can not compile and I have this error in TeCanvas.hpp :

Error E2091 : Functions can not return arrays or functions

(this is a translation from french and I am not a star in english, sorry)

And the IDE opens TeCanvas.hpp and places the cursor on line 831 where there is this code line :

Code: Select all

virtual void __fastcall DeleteBitmap(void);

I already check directory path and there are same in two applications
I check (in .BPR file) there are no reference of older teechart composant (v4) installed with BCB and it is clean.

The configuration is the same for these two applications

If I comment this line, it's OK but I am afraid to disturb the component.
I found on internet newsgroup that DeleteBitmap is a macro defined in windowsx.h

Can you help me ?

Thanks,

PurL

Hi PurL,

Have you compiled and installed TeeChart sources to the IDE using Recompile tool provided with TeeChart sources installation? You'll find the tool at TeeChart's program group.

It's OK

My second application include windowsx.h.
I opened this file and I comment the line where the macro DeleteBitmap was defined and the compilation is OK.

Conclusion :
TeeChart is incompatible with the use of windowsx.h because they have the same function/macro name called DeleteBitmap.
