Well I purchased MY copy of D2007 which is labeled as Codegear Delphi for Microsoft Windows does include support for Vista, including the Vista dialogs. I don't have time to look for it now, however there was a blog entry accessible from the startup page that had some comparisons and which I thought said the vista dialogs were only available in the RAD Studio. Evidently this is not true or I misread it. In any case I'll try the updates and see what happens. Thanx.

You have it backward. Delphi 5 and earlier had the DsgnIntf unit and the DsnIde package. Delphi 6 changed it to DesignIntf and DesignIde. DesignIntf, the unit, is not included as a DCU because you aren't allowed to include it in anything you compile. Instead, you add DesignIde to your design-time package's "requires" clause. If you have a DPK file that says it requires DsnIde, or if you have source files that use the DsgnIntf unit, then change them to require DesignIde and use DesignIntf instead. No run-time code should use either DsgnIntf or DesignIntf, so if they do, just remove those units entirely. Then start sweeping up after the compiler errors that result -- you wouldn't be able to use those features anyway, so there's no harm in deleting them to make the code compile. > And speaking of D2007, I'm just a little confused about the > currently available versions.

Note that 'Delphi 2007 for Win32' <> 'RAD Studio 2007'. The updates on CodeGear's site are labeled as updates for Delphi 2007 for Win32. RAD Studio was just released this month; there are no updates for it. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
