RE: [DUG]: DsgnInft unit D5 Standard

[Marshall, Paul]

Design-time only code (e.g. component editors) needs to be kept in separate units.  These units will only compile as part of a package: instead of a .dcu, the compiled code is in one of the system .bpls.   Regards, Paul. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Dunford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 11:28 AM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: DsgnInft unit D5 Standard I'm updating a project from Delphi 3 to Delphi 5.   One of the components causes this error message at compile time:   "cannot find unit dsgnintf.dcu"   I checked and found only a dsgnintf.int file, not a dcu or pas. But Delphi 3 puts a Dsgnintf.dcu unit into its Lib directory.   The reference to DsgnIntf is made in the Register procedure, which for this component looks like this:   procedure Register;   implementation   uses  DsgnIntf;   type  {Design-time testing by Double-clicking or from popup menu take Test}  {Added by Ahto Tanner}  TDialogTest=class(TDefaultEditor)  public   procedure ExecuteVerb(Index: Integer); override;   function GetVerb(Index: Integer): string; override;   function GetVerbCount: Integer; override;   procedure Edit; override;  end;   const  CUSTOM_BUTTON_ID=255;  MAX_PATH_DISPLAY_LENGTH=35;       //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------// procedure Register; begin  RegisterComponentEditor(TBrowseFolder, TDialogTest);   RegisterComponents('Dialogs', [TBrowseFolder]); end;   Is Borland in the habit of shipping DsgnIntf.dcu depending on the edition of Delphi? Using D5 Standard edition.   ==================================== Patrick Dunford, Christchurch, New Zealand http://pdunford.godzone.net.nz/     Attention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments from AgResearch Limited is intended only for the persons or entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
