Hi,

I am trying to compile a component that I downloaded from the internet. It
requires a unit called "dsgnintf". This is not present in my Delphi 5
Standard installation. I have two other Borland products - Delphi 2
standard and C++ Builder 3 Standard - and they both have this unit present
in DCU form. I tried to copy this DCU into my Delphi 5 LIB directory but
it complained and wanted that PAS file to re-compile it. I guess this is
because of incompatible compiler versions.

Anyway, my question is: should dsgnintf.dcu be present in D5 std, and
could somebody e-mail me a copy. My address is
[email]postmaster (AT) qscomputing (DOT) plus.com[/email].

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

It appears that starting with version 5, Delphi became more strict
about what should be in run-time only and what in design-time only
packages. This usually shows up as run-time packages crying out for
the DsgnIntf unit because there are component editors in them or
attempts to register things with the IDE.

It also appears that this unit is not present in D5 Standard. But
I may be wrong about that.

Groetjes,

Try commenting out the DsgnIntf in the uses clause. I think it
may work.

I have D5 Standard and don't have the dsgnintf.dcu file

However, I do have a dsgnintf.int file.

Is that what you're looking for?
