TeeChart 8 and Delphi XE

[GoToXY]

Is there a way to get the D15 files that the TeeCompile.exe need to install TeeChart 8 over a Delphi XE ?

Or will i be left on myself to install it on Delphi XE

Thanks

Hello

I'm afraid TeeChart 8 doesn't support RAD Studio XE for the reasons explained here:
http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtop ... 72&start=0

However, in the same thread you can find some comments that may help you on creating the packages for it.

oh Well, i do understand but im not ready to move until the VCL version get a revamp and looks more like the .net version. The version 8 was doing things fine for what we used of Teechart. I'll try to find a way to make it work on Xe on my own.

Thanks again

Pretty easy to make a version for XE. Took me about 10mins just copying and renaming the DPK needed for TeeRecompile and its working fine. I know there is a lot of depreciate methode but its ok, they still working fine.

I'm not sure if im right, but i heared the next Delphi should come with a new VCL with more powerfull tools for drawing. I hope that then, ill be able to buy a the new TeeChart with amazing good looking chart

Thanks again.

Finally i made it to work.

Its pretty easy to do but it takes some time.

Here is what i have done if others would like to do so.
(To steema staff: if you dont allow that, i didnt know and please remove this post)

1. Use TeeRecompile and check Delphi 2011.

2. When TeeRecompile get an error about missing file (first one should be Tee815.dpk) Copy the Tee814.dpk and Tee814.res to Tee815.res and .dpk
3. Edit the Tee815.dpk and change the name of the package for Tee815
4. Go to the requiered and change all 814 for 815 (you wont find any in Tee815 because its the root of teechart)
5. Save, then press BEGIN in TeeRecompile.

repeat 2-5 until all TeeRecompile pass throught all package.


N.B.: You can get some Depreciate fonction. You can simply add that those line in front of the depreciate function if you want to remove those warning from the log

If the warning is for a FormatSettings
{$IFDEF D15}FormatSettings.{$ENDIF}TheDepreciateFunction

If the warining is for a SysUtils
{$IFDEF D15}SysUtils.{$ENDIF}TheDepreciateFunction

I dont know if you'll get this error, but if it said the module is already find in TeeChart 9, close your delphi, go to the installation dir\bin and rename the file tee...9 for something else. I tried to simply uninstall the package but each time i relaunch Delphi, it was coming back.

Hope it will help others.

If you like and im allow too, i can send *815.dpk/.res file to Steema so they could distribute them to ppl in need.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

It's fine for us. You can share your files with the community through these forums if you want.
Just let me highlight again that Steema recommends to upgrade to the actual version and doesn't support TeeChart v8 in RAD XE.
