I have a component that was written for D5 and is derived from the TSpinEdit
component that was supplied on the Samples tab of the D5 component palette.
I am trying to get this component installed and available for D2005 and having no end of problems.
I figure I need to create a package and add this component to it. Here is what I did:
File/New/Package - I get Package1.bpl in my project group
I right-click this and select Add. I navigate to the component source file and select it.
It then appears under the "Contains" folder of the project group.
I Right click the Package and select Build
I Right-click the package and select Install
D2005 reports that the component has been installed.
But I can't find it under any category on the tools palette.
What am I doing wrong?
After much messing around with several component .PAS files I get it to work occasionally, but never consistently. Sometimes the tool palette category appears, but not with all the components in the package showing, sometimes it doesn't survive shutting down and restarting Delphi.
There seems to be little documentation on how to do this.
