New Version... soon or later :)

[YoungBoy]

Preamble
I recently approached the delphi's world.
With some lessons of my father, I programmed (little stuff) Clipper (do not laugh, please ) and VB.

Area of development
I use Delphi 7 Enterprise (Pack 2) but I would like to use Delphi 2007 win 32 (CodeGear)... is this possible?

I downloaded:
Source Code,
Private Components,
All additional Components.

... and now come the first problems.. go to trouble section


Target
Functions to indicate double record (cross-mode on fields: translation and original title)
Creating multiple windows as is done now with tags:
for example:
MOVIE: Main (Main data); Crew (complete crew with image and story); News/Reviews (newspaper articles, interview of actors, comments, reviews, etc etc); Media (Media type, brand, location, if burned or original, software used, etc etc); Custom (user customization as now).
GAME: Main; Media; Reviews; Tips & Tricks; .....
MUSIC: Main with link MOVIE if soundtrack....
Data entry by scripts (I have already modified several scripts - thanks to @SoulSnakes for any help about CustomFields - , but now they are adapted only for custom fields).

Of course... if I am allowed, I will publish here the job (release)... but before I do that

Trouble
I can not install all components (in some there is the help file but no in others).

In the next post I'll copy the mistakes that appear ... if I can not solve

It will be a lot of work to upgrade to a newer Delphi version I think. Also, keep in mind that the "official" version will probably stay in Delphi 7.

The problems for installing components is in Delphi 7 or in Delphi 2007 ?
For Delphi 7 I can help, for the 2007 I am not sure... (first you'll have to make packages and version checking files for components which do not have these ready for Delphi 2007)

[YoungBoy]

I chose to use d7. In D2007 I had the problems for the components.

The work continues...




But now i have a problem.

Run by Delphi is correct
Compile: no error
Build exe: I have this error

Code: Select all

Now I'm stuck here!

I do not want to abuse your patience,
(@antp I read your readme: "You can contact me if you have problems to install/compile these files, ....... Please do not contact me if you are new to Delphi, try to find some tutorials first "
and I am the Delphi newbie

but if you give me a help ... I am so happy

Ciao

These are just normal warnings, don't worry .
I have same warnings when I build exe and all works great.

Do not worry, this message was to avoid very basic questions like "how do I install a component in Delphi ?"

[YoungBoy]

Thank @soulsnake

Ok @antp

New frame is almost finish.....

But now I'm trying to learn, read a lot tutorials and understand class and subclass of fields.
