Installing wpTools3 + ReportBuilder7

  • After upgrading to Report Builder 7 (D7 & D6) and installing (manually copying files) the wptools3 components for rbuilder, the ppWPTRichText1 component (including DBaware) within the rbuilder report designer creates a access violation when dropped on the designer.

    Any ideas? ...I am not sure if I have installed them properly. Please help.

    Is it best to upgrade to wpTools4 if using Rbuilder 7?

    when I try to build ppWPToolsPack.bpl, I get...

    [Fatal Error] ppWPToolsPack.dpk(28): Required package 'WPShared_D7' not found

    Removing that compiles to...

    [Fatal Error] DesignEditors.pas(517): File not found: 'Proxies.dcu'

    I can't find Proxies.dcu on my computer D6/D7

    I have just posted WPTools V4.21 and a new ppWPTools unit to the
    customer download section. The new WPTools makes it possible to create
    and use a TWPRichText without a handle or parent form which has
    eliminated any problems with the RB support at once.
    Please use this version. You can use the include package or add the
    unit ppWPTools to the wptools package to install the RB support into
    the IDE. To use the RB support at runtime simply add the unit
    ppWPTools to the uses clauses.
