Upgradeing from 7.04 to 9

rbuser

Hi,

I've just upgraded to version 9 from 7.04, and I'm having trouble
recompiling my components. To start out ppDsgnCT is not found which I
guessed that I should replace it with ppDesignControls. However then I get
an error on the following line:
procedure CreatePopupMenu(aOwner: TComponent; var aPopupMenu:
TppPopupMenu); override;

undeclared identifier: TppPopupMenu
undeclared identifier: CreatePopupMenu

Where can I find a clear outline on what has to be done to upgrade my
components from version 7.04 to 9

Thanks

Jack

Hi Jack,

The TppPopupMenu class has now been moved to its own file ppPopupMenus.pas.

---------------------------------------
Article: RB 9 Architecture Changes
---------------------------------------

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.


The myChkBox.pas unit contains the component classes....


TppCustomComponent

|
|

TMyCustomCheckBox

|
|-- TmyCheckBox
|
|-- TmyDBCheckBox


The myChkBoxDesign.pas unit contains popup menu and design control classes.
These are compiled into a separate package.


A. Popup Menu classes....

TppComponentPopupMenu

|
|

TmyCustomCheckBoxPopupMenu

|
|-- TmyCheckBoxPopupMenu
|
|-- TmyDBCheckBoxPopupMenu


B. Design Control classes.....



TmyCustomCheckBoxControl

|
|

TmyCustomCheckBoxPopupMenu

|
|-- TmyCheckBoxControl
|
|-- TmyDBCheckBoxControl
