Hi Rael,
Have you tried engaging Embarcadero on this issue as it appears to be related to GetIt? They should be able to resolve this issue, or at least provide a work-around.
Ray
This has always been a philosophical debate between Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero and 3rd-Party Vendors. Delphi has always been developed using the “moving forward” only approach. Once a new version of Delphi is released, older versions stop receiving updates.
Technically, 3rd-Party vendors do the exact same thing. For example, once CodeSite 5 was released, we stopped updating CodeSite 4.
However, the difference is that 3rd-Party vendors support multiple versions of Delphi, and because of that, 3rd-Party vendors design their code to reflect that. With KSVC, the library is maintained by Embarcadero and they consider the library an extension of their current code base.

Hi Richard,
I apologize for the delay. I’m trying to determine the best way to handle your request.

Hi Wesley,
I dug into this a little more and the problem is indeed with the GetIt installation that Embarcadero created for Delphi 11. The point is that Embarcadero is aware of the issue and are working on releasing a new GetIt package that fixes the problem.
In the meantime, you can apparently workaround the issue by doing the following:
>>>
A temp fix is to:add $(BDSCatalogRepositoryAllUsers)\KonopkaControls-280-7.0\Source
before $(BDSCatalogRepositoryAllUsers)\KonopkaControls-280-7.0\Lib\RX11\Win32 and
$(BDSCatalogRepositoryAllUsers)\KonopkaControls-280-7.0\Lib\RX11\Win64
Build your project
<< RayHi Wesley,
This type of error suggests that the Library Search Path in Delphi 11 is referencing a directory that contains the Delphi 10.4.x version of the component units. I would first check your Library Search Path in Delphi 11 and make sure that the directory containing the 10.4 Lib directory does not exist.
I would also strongly recommend that you contact Embarcadero about this. It sure sounds like they may have messed up the GetIt Package for KSVC for Delphi 11. That, or they somehow combined the two and are not distinguishing between 10.4 and 11.

Hi Marc,
Embarcadero has stated that in order to provide HiRes support, it needed to make some changes that would prevent it from being used in earlier versions of Delphi. When the components were owned by Raize Software, I would ensure that backward compatibility be maintained by using conditional compilation. Unfortunately, that is something that Embarcadero (and before that CodeGear and Borland) have never done. They have only focused on moving forward.Unfortunately, I have not had time to review the specific changes that Embarcadero made for supporting HiRes, so I’m not even sure if it would be possible to conditionally wrap the modifications.
Ray
Thanks Navid!
I’m glad you found the info for downloading the new build.Ray
Hi,
I copied the component (from your post) and pasted it into a new VCL Form and the status pane was created on the form, and it showed a red background (i.e. FillColor) with lime text. I ran the app and the status pane also displayed correctly.
It sounds like there is something else interfering with the component. Have you tried creating a new test project and changing the FillColor of a TRzStatusPane along with setting Transparent to False?
Ray
I believe that Embarcadero has stated that the KSVC are not available for CE.
Ray
Hi Olivier,
CodeSite 5.4 was released last night. Details are on the website.
Ray
Hi,
Set the Transparent property of the status pane to False and you will see the FillColor property take effect.

September 9, 2021 at 1:57 pm in reply to: I can’t install a previous custom comonent made with Raize components #2633What is the precise error message that is being displayed? A screenshot may be helpful.
Also, how are you trying to install the package? Are you right-clicking on the package and selecting install? Or, are you using the Component > Install Packages dialog box?
What does the Package1.dpk look like?

From the information that you provided, the Package1.bpl appears to be referencing the RaizeComponentsVcl runtime package in the requires sections of Package1.dpk source file. BTW, I would strongly recommend changing the name of your package to something more useful.
When Delphi tries to load Package1.bpl (the compiled package), the Windows loader will try to also load any dependent runtime packages. For example, vcl270.bpl and rtl270.bpl, as well as any other runtime packages that the package requires.
What I am not so clear on is what version of Delphi you used to build the package? You stated that you were able to compile your package and it installed, but you are getting an error when you try to install it into 10.4. Compiled package files (i.e. *.bpl files) are not compatible between versions of Delphi. You will need to compile your custom package using 10.4.
But as I said, I’m not too clear on just what is happening from what you posted. Another thing to check is to make sure that the KSVC Lib\RX10.4\Win32 directory is listed in your Delphi search path. Delphi will need this path in order to locate the RaizeComponentsVcl.dcp file.

Hi Barry and Steve,
I’ve been trying to duplicate the behavior you are describing but the TRzFormState component is working properly for me.
If you create a brand new VCL Forms Application and drop a TRzFormState component along with a TRzRegIniFile component, connect the TRzFormState to the TRzRegIniFile and then run the app, does the form start up properly?
I’m wondering if you both have code in your initialization or startup that is interfering with the TRzFormState component.

September 7, 2021 at 10:34 pm in reply to: ToolButton image disappears when pressed (ver. 7.0) #2615Hi Marek,
I’m sorry to hear you are having issue with Embarcadero’s Quality Portal (i.e. Jira). I have not had those experiences.
As for your fix, that is interesting. I’ll have to look more closely at the code when I get some time, but I find it odd that the PaintGradient call is causing the problem. I suspect it is masking something else.
