TeeChart 2012 & ScrollPager not working

[Metman]

Hi

I have downloaded the evaluation version of TeeChart 2012 for Delphi 2007. I tried the new.exe demo and it compiled and work fine. The only thing that I can see that was missing from the compiled new.exe demo that you built and I also downloaded was the ScrollPager. One of the main reasons to upgrade was to use this new feature so I tried to build a simple app using it. I dropped a chart on a form and then attempted to add the scrollpager tool - Delphi then spewed out some catastrophic failure messages and I was unable to use it any further and had to kill it to close it.

Not a great start - I only hope I've not screwed up my TeeChart 8.08 install.

I then tried again and just installed a chart and it compiled and ran fine.

Is there something wrong with the installer or am I missing something?

Hi Bruce,

I've just tried this in a new simple example project and it seems to work without problems in TeeChart v2012.07.
Could you please give it a try to the code below?

Code: Select all

uses Series, TeeScrollPagerTool;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Chart1.View3D:=false;
  Chart1.Legend.Visible:=false;

  Chart1.AddSeries(TFastLineSeries).FillSampleValues(1000);
  with Chart1.Tools.Add(TScrollPagerTool) as TScrollPagerTool do
  begin
    Series:=Chart1[0];
  end;
end;

Hi Yeray

By installing the 2012 and now uninstalling it I have now managed to screw up my 8.08 pro install. I have re-added the BPL's and at first they didn't remain installed but now they do. I have removed all mention of the 2012 from the library path but still only see the standard components - i.e. the Gantt chart is greyed out and not selectable. Can you give me a pointer to what I'm missing?

If I'd have known I would have got these problems I never would have installed the 2012 version.

Hi Yeray

Update...
I just tried re-installing 8.08 again over the top of the old version - worked fine but still looks like the standard version and not the pro!

I'm sorry to hear this is too complicate.
It's better to be sure you have completely uninstalled a TeeChart version before installing anotherone. However, you can always manually check the paths and components in the packages list, and correct any wrong setting.
I'd suggest you to uninstall the v8 you have now if it doesn't work as it should. You can do it just running TeeInstall to keep the folders structure but uninstall the component from the IDE. Then, open the IDE and clean it from any TeeChart reference remaining both at the library&include paths and in the packages list. Then, run TeeInstall again, open the IDE, check the paths and packages are correct, and that's it.

What does it look like the Standard version?
If it's the toolbox, note the TChart icon can be in the Standard components tab, but the other components can still be in the Teechart tab. Note the components can be moved in the palette.
