3rd party library not showing in a Form.

[Ian Branch 127]

Hi Team,

I have downloaded and installed SVGIconsImageList from GitHub.

No issues there.

The components are appearing in most of my Apps projects under the Design tab components except for one form in a project.  A Datamodule.

It is fine if/when I install SVGIconImageList via GetIt.

What could be causing them to be missing from just the one form on the one project?

It is complaining that Class TSVGIconImageCollection is not found.

 

Regards & TIA,

Ian

The TDataModule has a published property ClassGroup, check if that's set to VCL (because TSVGIconImageCollection is VCL only).

This is the code for the Datamodule:

unit dmImages;

interface

uses
  System.SysUtils, System.Classes,
  Vcl.BaseImageCollection,
  SVGIconImageCollection,
  GITLAKLib;

type
  TdmI = class(TDataModule)
    SVGIC: TSVGIconImageCollection;
  end;

var dmI: TdmI;

implementation

{%CLASSGROUP 'System.Classes.TPersistent'}
{$R *.dfm}

end.

It is working fine as is att using SVGIconsImageList from GitHub.

OK.

{%CLASSGROUP 'System.Classes.TPersistent'}

Didn't look right, so I changed it to;

{%CLASSGROUP 'Vcl.Controls.TControl'}

And it is happ now.

I have no idea how/when it was et to System.Classes.TPersistent.  😞

 

Thanks for the prompt/pointer.

Great to hear that solved your problem. To clarify, changing the ClassGroup property changes that line of code you edited:

Noted.  Again, I have never knowingly touched this.
