Disconnected units

[Michael Corby]

When I create a new project in C++ Builder 2007 and add units from a
BDS 2006 project I am getting some problems. For some of the units, in the
IDE I can display the code but I cannot switch to the associated form,
even though the dfm file shows in the Project Manager. F12 does nothing.
When I click on the dfm file in the Project Manager nothing happens.
There is no way to show the form.
Is there any way to reconnect the code with the form ?

Assuming that this is not a package project, then all you need to do
is make sure that the header guards match the filename correctly and
that the filename is a unique identifier. (You can't have a file named
TTest.cpp and the form in the file also named TTest) Using TTest.cpp as
an example, the TTest.h file should have a line like this near the top:

#ifndef TTestH
#define TTestH

If the TTestH is in another format such as TTest_h, the project manager
will not recognize the cpp, h, and dfm files as a unit.

Hello David

The project has about 150 units and the names in 6 of the header files were
mangled.
I corrected them as you suggested and the forms are now displaying.
Interestingly, the unit headers have the same mangled names in BDS2006 and
they work.
C++ Builder2007 is a big improvement on BDS2006.

Many thanks for the help.
