TeeChart 2014 and FastReport 4.9

[BartoszT]

Hi!

I have installed Delphi 2010 Professional and FastReport 4.9. A few days ago I installed TeeChart Pro 2014. The problem is that I can't make FastReport and TeeChart work together. I found that FR 4.9 supports TeeChart up to 8. Is there any solution that allows them to work together?

Greetings

Hello BartoszT,

If you want to use a package that integrates TeeChart into one of its packages, you may have to rebuild the package integrating TeeChart in a similar way than in the QuickReport article here.
Steema supports the integration of TeeChart into QuickReport and Intraweb components. For the integration in other 3rd party components, please contact the 3rd party manufacturer.

Thank you for your reply. I'll try the solution from the article.

Best regards

I have completely given up on using Fast Report together with TeeChart Pro. The recompile tool of Fast Report has been broken in the Embarcadero Edition for XE5 as well as XE6.

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you contacted Fast-Report support team to get assistance on this?

I am using FastReport 15.9 with the TeeChart2014, it works fine after recompile of the FastReport for TeeChartPro (for x86 and x64 too)

Have you contacted Fast-Report support team to get assistance on this?

I once bugged them by using a support ticket and they sent me a new "recompile.exe" which was able to recompile for XE5. Regarding XE6, I have lamented and ranted several times on their support forum, but it seems pretty much dead. As you can see, I'm not the only one. I shall try with a support ticket another time.

Somehow, I can even understand them. They're probably not making any money with the "Embarcadero Edition" and don't want to waste their time with people using free editions.

Hi Jens,

The only alternative I can think on is to try to rebuild the packages manually as indicated above. If you have packages working for a previous IDE, you could try to copy the sources of the packages, update the names of the packages and the references in them to match the new environment, and try to manually rebuild them.
As you can read in the mentioned article for QuickReport, this is the way we build the packages for it. No special secret, that doesn't mean no complications.
