My package now compiles and installs perfectly. However, when I come to use my component in an application I get the dreaded "Cannot find libintf.dcu" message whenever I try to compile the application that uses it. I had to include ColnEdit in the implementation section of my uses clause to get access to ShowCollectionEditor. I'm sure this is a common problem, but a Google on the newsgroups didn't return anything that related to my problem. Any ideas anyone? TIA, -- Cheers, Andy "I want to move to Theory....Everything works in Theory" Back to top Andrew Denton Guest Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2003 12:55 pm    Post subject: Re: Missing LibIntf problem Alain Quesnel wrote: Quote: Did you segragate design time and run time code in two separate packages (.dpk)? Hi Alain, No, I just have the one package that is both design-time and runtime. Do I need to split them, then? -- Cheers, Andy "I want to move to Theory....Everything works in Theory" Back to top Alain Quesnel Guest Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2003 1:48 pm    Post subject: Re: Missing LibIntf problem Did you segragate design time and run time code in two separate packages (.dpk)? -- Alain Quesnel [email]alainsansspam (AT) logiquel (DOT) com[/email] http://www.logiquel.com "Andrew Denton" <adenton.diespamdie (AT) q-range (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Hi All, Thanks to Alain Quesnel's generous help I now have my property editor working off my speed menu.

Follow the instructions here (the "Package Issues" section): www.geocities.com/alain_cal/frames_main.htm or www.geocities.com/alain_cal/package_issues.htm Thanks for that, Alain. I'm definitely getting somewhere. I now have my two packages for Design and Run time as you recommended and the libintf problem has gone away. The only problem I now get is when trying to compile an application that uses the component I now get "File not found : ToolWnds.Dcu". I do have dsnide50.dcp in the requires section of my design-time package. I'm guessing that this unit is contained in another package, but I don't know which one. Thanks once again. -- Cheers, Andy "I want to move to Theory....Everything works in Theory" Back to top Alain Quesnel Guest Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2003 3:25 pm    Post subject: Re: Missing LibIntf problem Yup.

Can you locate ToolWnds.pas or ToolWnds.dcu in your Delphi 5 directory? I can only find the ToolWin unit. Unless you're using a 3rd party component that has a unit called ToolWnds. Hi Alain, Yes, I did. I did some more digging and apparently it's a good idea to have any property editors in a separate design time package, so I've split them out too. Toolwnds is nowhere to be found on my hard drive. I guess it's one of those Borland units they never released. Anyway after much fiddling around and having to restart Delphi because of crashes it now all seems to work fine. I have 3 packages, A design-time one that registers the component and the property editor, another design time one that contains my property editor code and finally a runtime one which contains the main bulk of the controls code. I can drop my component onto a form and compile the application without any problems at all. This has been my first foray into component development (bet you couldn't tell, could you? ) and I've learnt quite a lot. Thanks once again (or merci encore une fois if my (rather rusty) French is correct), you've been a big help. -- Cheers, Andy "I want to move to Theory....Everything works in Theory" Back to top Alain Quesnel Guest Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2003 4:28 pm    Post subject: Re: Missing LibIntf problem Did you remove the design-time units from your component unit? i.e. DesignEditors, DsgnIntf , ColnEdit ?
