Hello again,

actually I thought it's all easy with DeXter. But somehow I the
Delphi2006 component I've installed appears only in the Delphi IDE :(

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Totally uninstall the package (and maybe restart the IDE). Then in the package
options go to the linker options of the package and select the Generate all C++
Files. Rebuild and install the package.

It is important that if you have the package already installed and have not
selected this option you must uninstall it before rebuilding everything as
certain registry entries don't seem to be made when you just rebuild the package
as opposed to installing the package.

And occasionally you may have to manually add the .lib or .bpi file
associated with the package to the project.

Thanks. Unfortunately a compatibly issue popped-up:

[Pascal Warning] magsubs1.pas(50): W1025 Language-Feature not supported:
'Comp'

The component I'd like to use is called TMagRas which may also be found
on the BDS Companion DVD.

Does someone have experience in porting Delphi components to BCB? How
hard and time consuming might this task be?

We're considering to buy the sources but nobody is experienced with the
migration of delphi stuff here.

Is it worth of it?

Thanks..
David

It's not too hard, I've done the whole review of the JVCL for that in
about two week-ends. And that was because it took me a full week-end to
tackle a compiler bug that got fixed by Update 4 for BCB6.
But anyway, no, it's not too hard, especially if you look at the guide:

or shorter

Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.

Cheers
Olivier
