This (now) can extract the project options from the .prj file, but can also take additional options for a casual modified compile. (It you were interested. I can, of course, put it on my web site for you.) One slight problem lies in the format of the unit references - you wrote the names with capitals, but the file names use lower case only. This inhibits Linux from finding them, and the compiler complains about wrong file names if one creates correctly spelled links. So, for Linux (and other unixen) the unit references should either be written with lower case letters, or the shell must be set to find files disregarding the letter case (bash "shopt -s nocaseglob", e.g.). Or the file names changed, of course. > 1. In tab Make/Make Options add this parameters: > -dBGRABITMAP_USE_MSEGUI -dclass_bridge Here probabely lies the cause for my failure: Although I set the first definition (which I derived from your code in your msefiledialogx unit), I didn't know about the second one. But sadly, doesn't work out, see below. > 1. And in your source, in the uses section add those units: > uses > BGRABitmap, > BGRADefaultBitmap, > BGRABitmapTypes, ... This was done also, in accordance with the example code I found from your units. > Here the updated procedure: Thank you very much. But right now, I haven't yet included that in the test compile. So testing has to wait a bit until the basic program works correctly with the BGRA graphics units. When I now tried to use the ide for building the project, I got the same error message, and a lot of additional lines below. The origin of the problem seems to be the declaration "tbitmapcomp1: TBGRABitmap;" of the dialog form, which isn't, and cannot be, reflected in the .mfm file, as the ide just doesn't provide such a component, and there is none in the "bgrabitmap" directory. Is it possible that one had to recompile the IDE with BGRA bitmapps enabled, to get access to the pertinent components and to be able to use them? Unfortunately, I couldn't find halp looking through the specifications of your bgra project files for your ideU, because there you refer to elements that I cannot associate with anything available, most prominently a number of refreences to subdirectories named "bgragui*". I cannot find anything corresponding to any of them anywhere. So it doesn't seem to be as straightforward to use that stuff as seemed from your optimistic presentation of the "simple" screen dump routine... Anyway, have a nice time, and keep up the good work! -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
