Hello, I have some problems with TeeChart 6.01 and ReportBuilder
7.03.
This are the steps I follow to install TeeChart 6.1 and ReportBuilder 7.3
1) I Clean up the TeeChart 6.1. After that I search and delete all the
dcltee*.bpl;dcltee*.dcp;tee*.bpl;tee*.dcp; *.dcu.
2) I Clean up the ReportBuilder 7.03 following the steps of the paper
"Cleaning up a Corrupt Installation" of ReportBuilder Help.
3) I Reinstall the TeeChart 6.01 (the last version). Without problems.
4) I Reinstall the ReportBuilder 7.03. Without problems.
5) I check in the installed Packages options and all packages of
ReportBuilder and TeeChart are installed correctly.
6) I recompile this packages (rbTC75.dpk, rbTCUI75.dpk, rbTDBC75.dpk and dclRBC75.dpk, in this order).
rbTC75.dpk require the package (rbRCL75.dcp "compile date 23/08/2003" and
tee65.dcp "compile date 15/04/2003")
rbTCUI75.dpk require the package (rbTC75.dcp "compile date 03/06/2004" and
teeui65.dcp "compile date 15/04/2003")
rbTDBC75.dpk require the package (rbTCUI75.dcp "compile date 03/06/2004" and
teedb65.dcp "compile date 15/04/2003")
dclRBC75.dpk require the package (dsnide50.dcp "compile date 24/01/2000" and
rbTDBC75.dcp "compile date 03/06/2004").
After that I follows the steps of the paper "TeeChart 6.0 Support for Delphi 5". I describe this steps follow
a) Copy ppChReg.dcu, ppChrt.dcu, ppChrtDP.dcu, ppChrtUI.dcu and
ppChDPEdDlg.dcu (I add the last two *.dcu because in other case a compiler
error appear)
From: ..\RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee600
To : ..\RBuilder\Lib
b) Copy dclRBC75.dcp, rbTC75.dcp, rbTDBC75.dcp and rbTCUI75.dcp
From: ..\RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee600
To : ..\RBuilder\Lib
c) Copy dclRBC75.bpl
From: ..\RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee600
To : ..\RBuilder\Lib
d) Copy rbTC75.bpl, rbTDBC75.bpl and rbTCUI75.bpl
From: ..\RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee600
To : ..\Windows\System32 ( my SO is Windows XP Pro.)
e) Copy ppChReg.pas, ppChrt.pas, ppChrtDP.pas, ppCHDPEdDlg.pas,
ppChrtUI.pas
From: ..\RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee600
To : ..\RBuilder\Source
f) I reinstall de Package dclRBC75.BPL from de ..\RBuilder\Lib directory.
7) I Complile the Demo Project "RBuilder\Demos\3. End User\1. Report
Explorer\EndUser.dpr.
The problem is when I use the component DbChart. If I have el report that use this component when I close the EndUser.exe application (compiled with or without packages) a "Exception EAcessViolation in module VCL50.bpl" appear. This error appear after a modification of some properties of the DbChart (not always occur , the error is a random error), for example if you modify Colors, Labels or a Title of the DbChart,etc).
I need some help. I spend a lot of time with this problem. If necessary that I send you the Enduser compiled application that produce the error.
Note: I send the same question to Nico Cizik (Digital Metaphors) <nico@digital-metaphors.com>, but up today I don't recieve any answer.
My Environnment:
Windows XP Pro.
Delphi 5.0 with update pack.
BDE 5.0 with update pack.
ReportBuilder 7.3
TeeChart Pro 6.1
Thank you.
Problem with ReportBuilder 7.3 and TeeChart 6.0
Hi.
The install procedure you followed looks perfect. But I think the problem is a bug in TeeChart code. In short, in combination with Report Builder and if chart series datasource is another series or function, then the destroying mechanism tries to free/destroy series (and functions) which were already freed. Do you get this error even if you drop add epty TDBChart to the report ?
We've fixed the problem for series in TeeChart v7.0 and right now we're tackling the function problem.
A temporary solution/workaround is to disconnect and free functions/series in code at runtime before report (form) is destroyed.
