Title: Signature
If its a visual component and you need to have the form/unit open in IDE then you have to install it.  Otherwise, just a path in the project options to the pas/dfm files.

This one bites me every time I install some third-party demo which
has a dependency on a package I don't normally install.

So, let's see if I can get an easy solution, and remember it.

Let's say I know I need the TXMLDocument component, which I don't
have installed. From the help, I can quickly find it is in the XMLDoc
unit.

BUT -- is there some *easy* way to tell what furschinluggin' BPL I
need to install to make that unit and its components available?

Hard ways, I've found, such as grepping for the unit name in the BPLs
-- but in this case, it's referenced in a whole bunch, so it doesn't
help.

I find this whole "it depends on it but you can't find it" issue one
of the biggest timewasters when learning new areas of Delphi. So
there's probably an easy solution I haven't encountered in the  past
decade.

cheers,
peter
