TGauge Class not found

[rubirich]

I'm very new to Delphi and I have a problem I've been struggling with for two weeks without solving it.

I'm getting two error messages when I try to view MainFrm
which is defined in unMain.pas and unMain.dfm.

I have Delphi 7 Enterprise Edition

The messages are:

Class TGauge not found
Class TSpinEdit not found

Of course, I only see the second error if I select IGNORE rather than CANCEL when I see the first error message.

Also, the error messages only occur the first time I try to view the main form.

These classes are defined in Gauges.pas and Spin.pas respectively and I put the pas and dcu files in the same folder as the project(s) I've been working on, thinking that might help, but no luck.

I also tried Project-->Add to project selecting the source file Gauges.pas or Spin.pas, but that didn't help.

Nevertheless, the projects DO compile and execute without errors.

When I look at the different lists of installed components, these classes don't appear anywhere.

I've also tried looking at Component-->Install Packages-->Components

I found TSpinEdit listed in Borland CLX Standard Components
but I coulnd't find TGauge listed anywhere.

I don't know whether it matters, but the application is, I believe a VCL -- not CLX -- application.

How do I get rid of the two errors?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In a default setup, the .dcu files go in the C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Lib directory. Those two .pas files are in a directory called samples, but that shouldn't matter. If you haven't changed the Options for the lib location, try moving them there.
