I hit a compiler directive when trying to install it, and the Bennet tec guys aren't able to help. The error I get is: [Error] MetaDrawLib_TLB.pas(32): Invalid compiler directive: 'VARPROPSETTER' [Warning] MetaDrawLib_TLB.pas(1234): Method 'SetBounds' hides virtual method of base type 'TOleControl' [Warning] MetaDrawLib_TLB.pas(1396): Redeclaration of 'PictureChanged' hides a member in the base class [Warning] MetaDrawLib_TLB.pas(1405): Redeclaration of 'Repaint' hides a member in the base class [Fatal Error] dclusr.dpk(37): Could not compile used unit '..\Imports\MetaDrawLib_TLB.pas' Thanks. ....Andy Back to top Nils Haeck Guest Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2006 4:33 am    Post subject: Re: MetaDraw 3 OCX Hi Andy, There's only one error, the rest are warnings.. what about trying to remove the invalid compiler directive manually from the XXX_TLB.pas file?

I'll give it a go. What's the worst that could happen? How are you doing with your 2D lib? I may well be interested. I need to load a dxf file, and at run time, I need to add some simple shapes, zoom/pan, and then change the fill/colour of the shape programatically. Will your lib do this? The TCAD XP codeidea guys only read R12 DXF. ....Andy Nils Haeck wrote: Quote: Hi Andy, There's only one error, the rest are warnings.. what about trying to remove the invalid compiler directive manually from the XXX_TLB.pas file?

What's missing is the import of DXF and DWG, I have these but in a different form. It might be one week of solid work to connect it all together. Unfortunately, I have been extremely busy with some very big customer projects in the past half year, so all the library work has suffered from that. I'd be interested to receive some sample DXF/DWG files from you, so I can test if the import library can read them. My DXF/DWG import is not limited to R12, but some shape types may be missing. It would be helpful if you could give me a sample file with at least 1 object of each shape type you require. I can then perhaps puzzle out how to import the missing types. Note that DWG is a closed format, and only very little info floats around the internet. Therefore, I cannot guarantee import to import each and every shape. However the most common shapes are imported fine. DXF is easier, though even that it's an open format, parameters might not make sense if you don't know exactly what they're for. Btw I also have an IGES import/export filter, would you be interested in that too?

I'll give it a go. What's the worst that could happen? Forgot to answer this.. Well if some properties are perhaps not imported 100% correctly it could still mean you can use the OCX, if you just don't use these properties. Basically, I'd try to compile the "mutilated" TLB file and if it works, just test out how well you can work with the OCX. If you experience crashes, then you might have to reconsider using it :) Nils Back to top Andy Stephenson Guest Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:11 am    Post subject: Re: MetaDraw 3 OCX Nils, I'll get back to you on all points.
