Some files moved in RB9

rbuser

Hi Guys,

I'm evaluating both RB9 and Delphi 2005 at the moment, and I am having
quite a tough time with it. Some minor problems have to do with the new
compiler that has small features missing (and sometimes stricter rules),
but the big problem has to do with Waler's ExtraDevices.

Waler seems to be oblivious to the fact that either ReportBuilder or
Delphi has a new version out, so I am left porting it myself. What
really gets me, is that some of the ppDrawCommand classes seem to have
moved from ppDrwCmd to somewhere else. I am specifically looking for the
bar code and rich text commands.

The ironic part is the ReportBuilder now supports PDF output, which is
the only part of ExtraDevices that we actually use. We did build a
framework around it though, so I'd like to compile the app first before
I go about removing ExtraDevices altogether.

Kind Regards,

Cobus Kruger

Jim (Waler) has released an RB9 specific update
about a week or so back.

Hi Cobus,

The TppDrawBarCode and TppDrawRichText classes have been moved to their own
files for ReportBuilder 9. Try adding the following files to your "uses"
clause and see if that helps...

ppBarCodDrwCmd.pas
ppRichTxDrwCmd.pas

The description for 2.9 says Delphi 5, 6 & 7 and doesn't mention the
ReportBuilder version. I'll give it a go.
