There were some major changes made in RB 9 to how it handles report components. These changes will have to be made to any existing add-on components for ReportBuilder. Below is an article with more information...
ReportBuilder 9 includes architecture changes to more cleanly separate Designer code from Report code. The code related to component popup menus and design controls has been broken out into separate classes.
For an example, check out RBuilder\Demos\RCL.
1. The myChkBox.pas unit contains the component classes....
TppCustomComponent

TMyCustomCheckBox
| |-- TmyCheckBox | |-- TmyDBCheckBox
2. The myChkBoxDesign.pas unit contains popup menu and design control classes. These are compiled into a separate package.
