[DUG] Fwd: Delphi - Installing / Updating Components - specifically Indy

[Jolyon Smith]

Hi list/Graham,

 

I just checked on a hunch and found what I suspected.  TIdAttachmentFile
derives from TIdAttachment and that derives from TMessagePart which in turn
derives from TCollectionItem.  i.e. the TIdAttachment*** classes are not
components.  You would not expect to find them on your component palette.

 

So don't worry that TidAttachmentFile isn't on your palette - it's not
supposed to be there!  J

 

Now, I've not worked with this part of Indy but I quickly found this short
guide on the Indy site:

 

http://www.projectindy.org/Sockets/Blogs/RLebeau/2005_08_17_A.EN.aspx

 

Which seems to further confirm that TIdAttachment derived classes are
designed to be instantiated directly in code, rather than by placing them on
forms at design time.

 

I hope that helps set you on the right track.

 

 

Cheers

 

Jolyon

   Hi Richard

I have this version of Delphi ....
CodeGearTM RAD Studio 2007 Version 11.0.2804.9245 Copyright C 2007
CodeGearTM.
with Indy Direct version 10.1.5 installed.

Hopefully you can help with my problem ...

I want to use an indy component called IdAttachmentFile - I know it exists
as I have the .pas file for it in the
C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\source\Indy\Indy10\Protocols
driectory and have seen
references to it on the net and in code samples. BUT I don't see it in any
of the the Indy Component Pallets.
Plus I cannot see how to do a reinstall of what is obviously there.

So I download the latest update from http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/indy10.zip
which is only days old, hoping that an
update might be the answer.

Trouble is I cannot find any step by step instructions on how to install
this update - there are these instrction in the
help system but there are no more specifics on how this is done.

Delphi and C++ Builder Installation
Installing Indy.Sockets in a Borland IDE involves using the run-time and
design-time packages
files to compile the source code in the library. After compiling the
packages and source code,
design-time packages are installed in the IDE to make the components
available on the component
palette.
For Delphi and C++ Builder, the run-time package files should be opened and
compiled in the
following order:
*   IndySystem (in LibSystem)
*   IndyCore (in LibCore)
*   IndyProtocols (in LibProtocols)
*   IndySuperCore (in LibSuperCore) (for Delphi 7 only)
For Delphi and C++ Builder, the design-time package files should be opened,
compiled, and
installed in the following order:
*   dclIndyCore (in LibCore)
*   dclIndyProtocols (in LibProtocols)
*   dclSuperCore (in LibSuperCore) (for Delphi 7 only)

What is the step by step process for all of this, I have roamed the net in
vain for some enlightenment but
cannnot penetrate the techspeak for a simple how to.

I hope you can help me out here with a process, or a more helpful source on
the net.

Many thanks

Graham Marsden
