Hi,

is it possible to use the same sourcefiles of a Form in a BCB6 project
and in a BDS2006 project.

I checked it and find out, that BDS2006 inserts sometimes the following
properties to the *.dfm file of the Form.

ExplicitLeft
ExplicitTop
ExplicitRight
ExplicitBottom


When I then open/use the sourcefile of the Form in BCB6 the IDE produces
errors about the unknown properties.


Is it possible to break BDS2006 of this habit - to avoid insert of this
properties by BDS2006?

best regards
Martin

Code files, yes.
DFMs, no.

Exactly, which means that BDS DFMs cannot be shared with older versions.
That has always been the case in every version of BCB - each new version of
the VCL adds new properties to DFMs, and cannot be shared with previous
versions.

No, no more than it was possible in previous versions of BCB, either. If
you must share the DFMs across multiple versions (which I do not recommend),
then you will just have to copy with clicking the "ignore" option on the
"unknown proopery" dialogs that popup every time you load a newer DFM into
an older version.

For a transition period (not all developers currently uses BDS2006) we

must share the sourcefiles. It is not critical cause we use BCB6 &
BDS2006 only for development of proprietary help-tools used by the
embedded SW developers.

What a bummer Wink


Well, my current way is to setting the readonly flag of the DFMs - then
BDS2006 do not change anything and accept the DFMs without errors.
Change of the Forms layout must be made with BCB6.

thanks and best regards
Martin
