components not visible in tool palette 1

[rkamarowski]

i've created a component package (.bpl) everything compiles/builds without error. the install operates without error, but there is no entry in the tool palette. i had built and installed this component package earlier (myComponentPackage), which was visible on the tool palette. i had to change one of the components, but kept the same name. i deleted the myComponentPackage entry from the tool palette, and i'm unable to re-install. i have used the component|install package option (many times) to remove and add the package, but with no success. i've also right-clicked on the myComponentPackage.bpl and selected install (many times) without success.

any ideas?

thanks.

Did you change the [blue]RegisterComponent[/blue] line as well?

i right-clicked in the tool palette and selected delete... that part was easy

I see, well in fact you didn't delete the component package, you only have it hidden.

try to do a right click on the palette and choose 'Reset Palette'
