somebody named "Gilles The cat" just posted this in the Delhi Wiki:

I would like to know if anybody has an old component made for Delphi 5 called TdxfOutlookBar?

 

I have an app for my personnel use and had to reinstall Delphi and lost this component. Now I would like to make changes to my app but it is impossible without this component. If anybody has a copy or know where I can find it, PLEASE let me know.

 

Yhank you. Gilles The cat

Ask DevExpress?

Yes. I guess DevEx wouldn't like us to pass links around, however outdated the components may be.

I only know one company who refuses to host old version of their products.

If he had a license he should contact DevExpress and ask for the package or for declaring it as abandonware.

Agree! If it was proprietary, and subscription is active, DX *will* help.

If not active, still legal to compile and use, but one should not count on support.

DX usually offers a modern alternative (if it was a legacy component cx/dx).

So, to sum it up: The "dx" in the name is a strong hint that it is from DevExpress, so it should be possible to get this component from them, even for Delphi 5.

 

Correct?

Yes, or at least some guidelines as to how to upgrade to their current product.

The first Google hit for you might have been that. I didn't see this on the first page of results.

The joys of personalized search...

Apparently he had already asked DevExpress and they cannot supply the old version.

 

(He could have mentioned that rather than let us (me) guessing. I didn't know what tdxfOutlootBar is/was and from they way he formulated his questionI thought he didn't either. That's what you get for trying to help. I should have known better. 😞 )
