File not found: 'Proxies.dcu'
Andrew Elliott
I have written a component that has a custom property editor. While I have
written the component I have had a seperat form open to test the component
at design time. When I save the porject and try to compile an app with this
component, I get the following error during compile.
DesignEditors.pas (517): File not found: 'Proxies.dcu'
The component however does all that it should at design time. I have the
professional version of Delphi 6. I have done a search and this file does
not exist except in Designide.DCP.
I have had this problem when compiling components from previous versions of
delphi.
Any ideas on this.

Simply add Designide.DCP to list of required packages.
Also, this must be design-only package, because Designide is design-only
package, IOW, you must separate component code from design code.

That solved the problem. I should have spotted that before.

Using DesignIDE in your runtime package is against the terms of the licence
for Delphi. If you need the DesignIDE package at runtime, then you have not
separated out the design code from the component.

Your component may be in a runtime package, but this must 'require' a
designtime package that 'requires' designide.
Ask yourself the question, 'can my component editor be used at runtime?' The
answer should be No.

That answer is very relative. In context of proxies.dcu, you are correct,
but who need proxies.dcu, if you are writing you own designer application?

on. It might be that Borland is afraid that someone would build a
competitive product with their own code, but when you install D6, you agree
to licence agreement, so ...

Not quite true... :-) Although the code was in VCLxx, you were not
allowed to use (and your license agreement prohibited you from using) it.

D6.

Right. You're not allowed to deploy Borland supplied designtime packages,
but can deploy yours *for use in the Delphi IDE*.
