My application uses runtime package. One of the runtime packages contains
the custom components we have developed for our app. We also store each
form the app uses in separate package files.
When the app wants to open a form the app runs LoadPackage for the relevant
form package.
Under Delphi 3 if the custom components had changed but the form packages
had not been recompiled the LoadPackage call would raise an exception which
we trap to know that a form is out of date and needs to be updated (by
automatically FTPing the latest version from our software site).
Under Delphi 5, when the custom components have been altered (new properties
etc.) the corresponding call to LoadPackage for a form package built with an
old set of custom components does not raise the same exception therefore we
cannot work out when the form packages are inconsistent with the custom
components meaning we cannot work out when to update individual forms.
Has anyone come across this change in LoadPackage, I have looked at SysUtils
and the LoadPackage function has changed but I do not think this has
affected the way LoadPackage works.
Can anyone shed light on this problem?
Thanks
Craig
