Adding old component to 2007 IDEThis is a discussion on Adding old component to 2007 IDE within the Delphi forums in Programming Languages category; I have an old component that was designed for earlier (than D-2007) IDEs that I have always been able to install previously. It is a simple .pas file that contains its own REGISTER statement to add itself to the palate. In D-2007 I can't seem to be able to add it no matter what I try. In prior versions (E.g. D-7) it was only necessary to load the file and run it but this doesn't work with D-2007. Can anyone gibe tme the instructions for adding older components to the palate for the latest version od Delphi? TIA... | ||||||||

You have to open a design-time package project (e.g. the dclusr.dpk in the lib folder) or create a new one, add the unit to it, build it, install it (can be done from the project managers context menu). Or get this: Installing components into packages in D2005-2007 VCL Component Installer by Rudy Velthuis http://rvelthuis.de/programs/compinstall.html -- Peter Below (TeamB) Don't be a vampire (http://slash7.com/pages/vampires), use the newsgroup archives : http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm http://groups.google.com |

| Re: Adding old component to 2007 IDE Thanks for the response, I'll give it a try. I could not access the referenced link due to browsing restrictions where I work so I hope that it was not essential to the solution.
