PavelOu 0 Posted January 23 (edited) Hello friends, I am quite new between internet component suites. I have programmed in my work many years in Delphi 7 and later at home with DeIphi XE Starter only. No I have a problem in wireles network communication and I am trying to know more about it. So I have started with ICS V9.0 source codes, where are offered some ones started with Delphi 7 . I can program now with files .dpr, .dfm and .pas only and I have found in the zipped files Icsv90 some samples with these extensions. At first I have started with Other Demos and with OverbyteIcsPingTst.dpr file. When I have compiled it (in my system of folders), there were some errors come on . Can someone from you repeat my compile attempt ? Edited January 23 by PavelOu Text repairing ... Share this post Link to post
Angus Robertson 574 Posted January 23 If ICS is installed according to the instructions in readme9, the samples should compile. With Delphi 7, you use dpk not dproj. Beware De;phi 7 is no longer supported, but should still work, Delphi XE is also very old and has not been tested for many years since my license key expired and new keys are unavailable. Exactly what error is being returned by which sample? Please copy the textual error from the compiler, no attached files or screen shots. Angus Share this post Link to post

Of cours you may dispatch the source where you like but then you must have deeper Delphi knowledge. 2 hours ago, PavelOu said: there were some errors come on . We cannot help you if you don't copy the errors here (no screen dump please, just copy the plain text errors). Also when you have an error, you should show the code line where it occurs and a few before and a few after so that we understand where it is. I strongly recommend that you install the latest Delphi Community Edition which is free. I don't see any reason to continue with Delphi 7 or Delphi XE Starter. It is very difficult to support such old version that we don't have any more! Share this post Link to post
PavelOu 0 Posted January 24 Dear friends, thank you very much for your answers .. I'v tried yesterdey to compile the OverbyteIcsTpingTst1 in my folder long time used system what I'v to attached only, where all files are clearly separated. As I'v manipulated with some .pas files sonner, maybe I could to break original system of ones. After my compilation only route functions work well, by pings some runtime erros occured . I attach now my dproj files and txt file with collapsed procedures. I will try Francois folder style today.

Angus Robertson 574 Posted January 24 Please read my previous message again. Do not attach screen shots and copies of our files to these messages. Even your text file named errors has no error information, just more source code. If you want support, you need to report the actual compiler errors, not just send copies of code I wrote back to us.

PavelOu 0 Posted January 24 I'v tried to open and to compile the first OverbyteIcsD20007Run.bproj from package and I have done the printscreen of Welcome page what I have seen at first with my life with Deplhi .. so I do not know if I am on the right way to compile some unknown codes . If you do not want to see it, I must let it for me self . Next I'v simplified Readme9 for my purpose with D2007 and I let it for me, better, too . So I attach only result from the compile process, but I am not sure if it is the right message, you want to see. Compiling OverbyteIcsD2007Run.dproj (Debug, Win32).txt Share this post Link to post
Angus Robertson 574 Posted January 24 I thought you were trying to build a ping sample on Delphi XE or maybe Delphi 7. Now you are talking about installing a Delphi 2007 package, using rad studio 8.0 according to the command line, which I think is XE. Why??? You should be installing the XE packages using DXeInstall.groupproj as explained in readme9. Angus Share this post Link to post
PavelOu 0 Posted January 24 I think my DXE Starter is more compatible with D2007 as with DXE .. when I will something compile, the bproj.2007 will by created, sure .. but I can try to compile this OverbyteIcsXE yet . I attach two next results.... IcsPingTst1 is from my compile system.

PavelOu 0 Posted January 24 I probably cannot use DXE, as in the Install folder there is no DXEInstall, there is only DXE2Install, so the DXE from package folder is impossible to open ?? Share this post Link to post
Angus Robertson 574 Posted January 24 Delphi XE is totally different to Delphi 7, the former is a unicode compiler, the latter is ANSI only thus the errors you reported. XE2 is also different since it supports FMX and MacOS. Until you have the packages in DXeInstall.groupproj installed, I'm not looking at any logs, since nothing is expected to work. If you don't have DXeInstall.groupproj , you need to the proper version of V9.0 as has been explained before. Angus Share this post Link to post

PavelOu 0 Posted January 24 Thank you for your info .. yes, I'v found it, but when I'v tried it instal, there was only message,if I want to change the previous install of D7 .. and when I¨v tried to use OverByteIcsDXERun, something went, but next new project was by F9 compiled .. and all went as a behind of scene .. on background and only one error messages from compiler was reported.

PavelOu 0 Posted January 24 I have possible first succesful message, as I compiled the program OverbyteIcsPingTst1, what I test from my started time, direct from Icsv90 Samples Other Demos when I have click on the OverbyteIcsPingTst1.bproj file. This compile process has started again with message cca The class TPing was not found .. Ignore? I'v used Cancel and then this project was compiled already all files without errors and all functions of program work well. But .. I cannot visit its dfm file or I cannot find how to visit it .. so I cannot change the desing of this program and add next components. :( .. Where is a problem. I want change it, sure .

FPiette 383 Posted January 25 (edited) STOP ATTACHING TEXT FILES AND SCREEN DUMP TO YOUR MESSAGES. Angus and I already told you to do so several times. READ ALL THE MESSAGES AGAIN. I won't help you until you restart from scratch and really follow ALL advises Angus and I gave to you. You are free to do how you fell it, but if you don't follow the rules, you will be alone and won't get any help from me. Edited January 25 by FPiette Share this post Link to post
Angus Robertson 574 Posted January 25 The OverByteIcsDXERun package built OK, but a post build command failed, probably because you have not extracted the ICS files into our directory structure, as required. Building OverbyteIcsPingTst.dpr says Success, so why post it? We don't need minute by minute progress on your development attempts. This is not a teaching forum. If you only want to run the samples, they are all available pre-built from https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Samples Angus Share this post Link to post

And I am add my messages as I did it in another forums .. So if there is a rule of forum or your rule , what I have broken or permanently break, pls explain it for me now .. As you know, I am interested to overuse your components probably into my or us next program, what will solve my problem and goal and do it on my platform of Delphi 2007 now, I will explain in the next message.

PavelOu 0 Posted January 25 My recapitalution from yesterday : I have opened project D7Install from folder ...\ Install in Icvs90 . Then I'v opened project from folder ...\ packages\ OverbyteIcsD2007Run.dproj Then I am not sure but I think I'v opened from folders ..\ samples\ Delphi\ Other Demos\ OverbyteIcsPingTst.dproj And then I'v compiled it with succesful result and I did not solve any changes in program desing .. Maybe then I'v opened yet OverbyteIcsD2007Design.dproj ... After discussion with next members include Angus I'v opened the project DXEInstall, what was probably worse idea, as there can be in the libraries some mismatches .. So then I'v tried to compile next Other Demos with bad results ... and then and I have found out there is a problem with .dfm files .. I have some idea what can occurs but I will now repeat my process from yesterday only with Delphi2007, what I think is by my DXE Starter only more stabil as the DXE finished.

But I see you and Angus are somewhere in the Delphi heaven but I am sitting on the Delphi Embarcadero ground and I am not interested to step about a level up. Unfortunately my Delphi is someone not full finished to DXE so its somewhere between D2007 and DEX, so I cannot stay on my lastest version when I am never up nor down ... If you read my messages, you know I was going under your instruction started by Install folder and so one .. I have to post my next printscreen with my next expiriences with OverbyteIcsPingTst now .. there are problems between original unziped files and compiled ones .. maybe I did somethig bad and I will welcome your next advice what with it ..

PavelOu 0 Posted January 25 Yes, I did some similar ones today : I clear Welcome page ... I'v opened D7Install in folder Install - the project OverbyteIcsPingTst appeared immediately I'v opened OverbyteIcsD2007Run.bproj in folder Packages .... - unit OverbyteIcsFileCopyW was opened immediately , why ?? I'v opened the OverbyteIcsPingTst.dpr project from Sample\ Delphi\ Other Demos\ ... - Class Tping not found - Cancel ??? - error creating form - OK ??? - and F12 for .dfm nothing - F9 - compile succesfully , work OK - then Exit and close all I'v opened the some project from Welcome page - Tping not founf - Ignore - direct itself compiling - message Tping has no representation in form - Remove? - No ??? - runtime error immediately So next attempt once more : Welcome page - clear I'v opened OverbyteIcsD2007Design.bproj from Packages - unit OverbyteIcsFileCopyW was immediately opened , why ?? I'v opened the OverbyteIcsPingTst.dpr project in Sample\ Delphi\ Other Demos\ ... - F12 and dfm OK - F9 - compile OK - Ping 1 (sync) ... - run error immediately .... in the same places as in my first attempt ... I'v already mentioned here ??? Share this post Link to post

Before components are installed, you cannot open any form having one of the component without having the error you see. You need to click CANCEL or you'll have the component removed and of course tons of problems after. Restore the unit (pas and dfm) from the zip! Share this post Link to post
