Re:File not found 'DsgnIntf.dcu'


A couple of years ago there was a Delphi Informant article describing the how to
wrap the other OS dialogs like the Browse for folder one.  If you go to
www.informant.com and go to the Delphi section find the download for the file
di199904KB_f.zip.  Down load it and install the components and you will have a
browse for folder dialog component.  That's the one I use (with some component
editors I wrote for them for design time previewing).

Re:File not found 'DsgnIntf.dcu'


You would need the source.  If you have the source it is easy.  Take all the
component/property editors and move them into their own seperate unit from the
component itself.  Also move the Register procedure out of hte component unit
also.  This should allow you to remove DsgnIntf from the uses clause of the
component.  Compile the now DsgnIntf less runtime package.  Create a new design
time package.  Add the unit that now holds the editors + the unit the holds the
Register procedure.  The package should require vcl50.dcp and the runtime
package that holds the component code.  Compile and install that package.

Re:File not found 'DsgnIntf.dcu'


I may be way off here but we had a similar problem with a
third party component.  All we have to do is go into
Tools|Environment Options|Library and add the path that the
.dcu is in.

Re:File not found 'DsgnIntf.dcu'


That file is only needed at design time.  It sounds like Upscene Productions has
not properly segregated their design time code from their run time code.  If you
have D5 Pro and up you can find the pas file in the open tools source
directory.  Using this should only be considered a stop gap solution until you
or the component provider correctly removes the design time code from the run
time code.  D6 will probably see the removal of the pas file also so this
segregation will have to be done in future versions.  If you are using D5 Std
you can compile with packages as the DsgnIntf code resides in Vcl50.bpl but will
not be able to statically link it in until the component writers correct this
flaw.

How can someone correct the code and remove the unit ?

It seems to be missing from BCB5 already (both .pas and .dcu), but not
the .hpp?

There is no dcu available in D5.  The pas file is available, but be forewarned,
the pas file will more than likely also be gone in D6 forever and doing things
correctly will be the only way to use DsgnIntf in the future.

You can use the SelectDirectory function in Delphi5

Actually, you can use SelectDirectory in D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, BCB1,
BCB3, BCB4, or BCB5.  It's been around since day one!  :)

Re:File not found 'DsgnIntf.dcu'


So what is the "correct" way of using this
previously available interface?  I ask becuase a
simple Pascal component I've used since BCB1,
will now not install due to the missing DsgnIntf
file you mention.  The BCB5 help stating the the
file is no longer available does not give me any
guidance of how to modify this 3rd party
component (in a language I don't even really
know)  Can you provide a "old"->"new" example for
me?

Thanks very much

Re:File not found 'DsgnIntf.dcu'


Yes, I am getting the same error when migrating to Delphi 5 from 4. I
think I read ages ago in here that to solve it, any runtime components
need to be compiled separately, but I can't remember any more specific
details. Hoping anyone can help here?
