TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2017.22, cannot jump to source code

[Hong]

Delphi Tokyo, Windows 10

I removed TeeChart Standard from IDE - Components - Install Packages
Then installed TeeChartVCLFMXSOURCE-2017.22

Create a new project, put TChart component on the form. It can be compiled. I want to check source code by pressing Ctrl and left click TChart in the unit, nothing happened.

Library path(I moved TeeChart Lib on the top):
C:\Programming\Components\TeeChart\Compiled\Delphi25.win32\Lib;
C:\Programming\Components\TeeChart\TeeTree\Compiled\Delphi25.win32\Lib;
$(BDSLIB)\$(Platform)\release;
$(BDSUSERDIR)\Imports;
$(BDS)\Imports;
$(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp;
$(BDS)\include

Browsing path: I found only C:\Programming\Components\TeeChart\TeeTree on there
I added the followings 3 and also move these 4 on the top of browsing path list.
C:\Programming\Components\TeeChart\Source;
C:\Programming\Components\TeeChart\Source\VCL;
C:\Programming\Components\TeeChart\TeeMaker;

Still not working, cannot jump to the source code.

Any suggestion?

Hello,

Try putting "TeeChart\Source" and "TeeChart\Source\VCL" into the Library path instead of the "Compiled" ones.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I tried that before. cannot compile.

Hello,

We also use to recommend adding "VCLTee" or "FMXTee" to the "unit scope names" list in "Tools\Options...\Environment Options\Delphi Options\Lirary" in your IDE.

Still not working.

Does the old TeeChart Standard component cause this?

Did you solve the problem?

Hi,

I got a same issue. Haven't resolved at the moment. Please assist.

Thanks.

Hello,

With or without the compiled units in the path, the IDE project should route fine to the sourcecode if pathed.

As a check, please add the TeeChart 'source' and 'source\vcl' folders to the project options 'search path' and confirm that the paths to the sourcecode are reported in hard-black in the browser list where you have them selected. ie. that Delphi recognises the paths (rather like the difference between good & bad path in the attached image).

Add a path to the TeeMaker source folder too, as you have in your example, if any of the units there are referenced in your project.

If you do a right-mouseclick on the Chart in the form for 'About TeeChart'...is it reporting the version of TeeChart you expect to be using?

Hi Marc,

I've tried as per your guidance, but the issue is still appear. I used TeeChart Pro v2017.23.171221 32bit VCL over RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin.
I've added the TeeChart 'source' and 'source\vcl' folders into the project options 'search path' below :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2017.23\Source
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2017.23\Source\VCL
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2017.23\Source\FMX

The error message :
[dcc32 Error] TeCanvas.pas(5803): E2010 Incompatible types: 'VCLTee.TeCanvas.TTeeCanvas' and 'TeCanvas.TTeeCanvas'
[dcc32 Error] TeCanvas.pas(8614): E2010 Incompatible types: 'TTeeCanvas' and 'TTeeCanvas3D'
[dcc32 Fatal Error] VCLTee.TeeGDIPlus.pas(668): F2063 Could not compile used unit 'TeCanvas.pas'
Failed

Kindly advice.

Thanks.

Hello taruna,

Ok, I over-recommended paths. It's not picking up the VCL specific units. Please remove this line from the search path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2017.23\Source

This line shouldn't be necessary either for a VCL project:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2017.23\Source\FMX

That leaves you with this search path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart Pro VCL FMX Source Code 2017.23\Source\VCL

Please remember to add:

vcltee

to the unit scope name section (a little further down from search path in project options).

Regards,
Marc
