[DUG] Required DLL issue

[Jeremy Coulter]

Hi Robert. Yes if you have an include in the uses clause that has includes 
to the TMS stuff, then you will prob. find that THAT include will inlcude 
some common TMS stuff that will have a ref. to GDIPLUS.DLL.
One other problem too, you need to make sure that you distribute the version 
of GDIPLUS.DLL that works for you. It took me ages to find the right 
GDIPLUS.DLL and now liek you, we need to include it too. For me its only a 
small side effect of using the TMS controls. I Have used them for AGES and 
had the odd issue, like a really nasty bug I found in one of the grids, but 
that grid has now been superceeded now, so all is well :-)

Subject: [DUG] Required DLL issue




Hi all



On a non PHP note.   We have installed tms components for our main 

application.  Some of their components require GDIplus.dll .  Its a pain 

but we will install it on users machines where it is not present using 

our service pack software.  However I have just tested our SP on a 

machine without GDIPlus.  The SP itself cant run and says it requires 

GDIPlus.dll.



This is a bit of a problem ! 



The app is small (one form) which doesn't use any tms components or 

components that inherit from tms components.  We have a library pas that 

is used that contains some functions that do work on tms components.  

This is in the uses clause but the functions themselves are not being 

used.  Is it that including this in my uses is causing the dll to be 

required?
