Never-build package rbRIDE75.dpk needs to be recompiled

rbuser

Helo!

Delphi 5, Report Builder 7.01

I needed to modify interface section of ppDrwCmd.pas file and since then I
cannot compile my project because there's no source for rbRIDE75 package in
the Report Builder's distributive.

Is there anything that I can do about it?

Thanks in advance
Konstantin Krivtsov.

Sorry, but you cannot modify the interface section of any units that are
'used' by RAP.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Hi Nard,

I was trying to add Value property to TppDrawVariable to make report's
export to Excel more accurate.
I can create a descendant classes to TppDrawVariable and TppVariable but
then I'd have to convert all exisiting reports substituting TppVariable
instances, and I was trying to avoid that.

Thanks
Konstantin.

1. Create a myDrawCommands.pas unit and define a descendant to
TppDrawVariable - TMyDrawCommand.

2. Modify the Implementation section of TppVariable to use your new
TMyDrawCommand class.

Example:

implementation

uses
myDrawCommands;

constructor TppVariable.Create(aOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited Create(aOwner);

DrawCommandClass := TmyDrawVariable;

end;
