Delphi7 - Upgraded Delphi TeeChart to TeeChart Pro 8.02. Conflicts with ReportBuilder TeeChart 4.04

rbuser

I have tried to recompile the Teechart support in Report Builder with no
success. How can I get the RB TeeChart package to load along side the new
TChart Pro 8.02 components?
I get this error: "A class named TChartAxisTitle already exists.

Thanks,
Dave.

BuildPro.dpr will not compile either. Starts getting into the whole
DesignEditors.pas, Proxies.pas etc. errors. The solution for component
building is to put the designide.dcp in the package but I have no idea how
that can help with compiling this project.

Thanks,
Dave

it sounds like you have two versions of TChart around. I have found working
with TChart is difficult.

You want to search for TChart packages (I think that they all start with
tee.....bpl & tee....dcp, and get them out of the way (I always put them in
a backup directory) and also with the source files (.pas, .dfm and .dcu).
Then install TChart.

Aside...if you have the chart in your software and you are wanting to get it
in the report, you may want to work with a TppImage and get the image from
your application, this keeps you from having to configure a TChart 2x--and
keeping them in sync. I've posted code in this forum for an example, with
some how-tos.

BTW--did you reinstall RBuilder after upgrading?

Hi Dave,

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? If you are using 10.05 or
later, you can use the included RBTeePackageBuilder application to
automatically build and register TeeChart with ReportBuilder. This
application isolates the version of TeeChart you have installed to reduce
the chance of pulling in unwanted files. If you are using this app, please
copy the contents of the BuildTeeLog.txt here so we can see what is
happening.

Otherwise, you will need to be sure you are not using multiple TeeChart
version files when building the packages as Ed mentions in his post. A
single outdated .dcu or .dcp file can cause failure.

I did uninstall, then reinstall RBuilder after already having TeeChart pro
8.02 installed.
Also looks like the Teechart pro install already moved all files into a
backup folder for me.

I am still having the same error when trying to re-enable the Reportbuilder
teechart component.

Report Builder Pro 7.04.

Please consider updating to RB 10. RB 10 includes support for D7 and can
open and run reports created by prior versions such as RB 7.x. Many
improvements since RB 7

Kind of hard to justify to work. If I could simply re-compile the RB Chart
Package while new TeeChart is installed, it would have corrected the
problem, no? Just can't recompile RB packages.

Dave.
