i've downloaded the sources for 8.01, compiled and installed packages ok. i then downloaded the Tee8New.exe application from the binaries section, but am unable to configure it to point to the relevant source code. i presume i have to download the VCL demos sources as well, but can't find them. where are they located? thanks

Hi philip,

Features demo sources are included with the examples shipped with the installation which can be found at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 8.0.1 for Delphi 2007\Examples\Features.

hello - unfortunately TeeChart8.01Delphi2007.exe won't install anything unless delphi/builder 2007 is installed on the machine, and i don't have this - i'm using builder5.1

therefore the closest that i have to what you refer to is

C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 80 for Builder 5\Examples\Features

and the latest Tee8New.exe seems to expect only .pas source files (it certainly doesn't present a view of the available .cpp sources even for v8.0)

Hi philip,

It's strange as here you should have the specific demo for C++ Builder 5. Anyway, I've sent that demo to your forums contact e-mail.

[philip]

this doesn't work - the tee8new.exe application is looking for pascal/delphi files. although the zip you sent me contains .cpp files - presumably for v801 - the .exe doesn't pick them up for viewing

Hi philip,

Yes, we’ve reviewed it and found the problem. What happens is that the demo tries to find some obj files which are not generated automatically. To be able to build it try to copy the files I've sent to your forums e-mail address to the project folder, then open the Tee8New project and add the two .pas files to the project. Once you have done this you should be able to compile and run the demo.

We will also include those files in the next installer.

If the problem persists don't hesitate to let us know.
