Missing TCRDBGrid

[Johan.Swart]

Hi,

I have
RAD Studio XE Professional
on
Windows 7 (64bit)
and am installing
UniDAC 5.0.1 Professional with source

I'm following the instructions as in ReadmeSrc.html and found the following suspect line.
This is for installing on RAD Studio XE.

After I installed, using the Make.bat file, the TCRDBGrid component is not available when I create a new project.
Please advise where I went wrong during the install.

Regards,
Johan

I have Pro version w/o sources. After doing SETUP.EXE file to do the install, everything is installed correctly in my Delphi XE2 IDE. Do you also have SETUP.EXE?

CRDBGRID - This control is found in dclcrcontrols160.bpl (for XE2). You must add this package to your packages list to install the component in the IDE.

Also, as they mentioned many times on the forum they have stopped making updates/improvements to the CRDBGRID component. You should try to use some other grid in your projects.

Hi Steve,

Thanx for the help. I manually installed the package dclcrcontrols150.bpl and viola!

I was not aware that they are not developing TCRDBGrid further. Any grids you could recommend?
I bought Devexpress's grid years ago, but am looking for a cheaper alternative.

Raize has a nice DB grid.

Maybe TMS components

To install the TCRDBGrid component to RAD Studio XE from the source code, you should compile the crcontrols150 package and, compile and install the dclcrcontrols150 package. Please note that using the Make.bat file, these packages are compiled automatically, you should only install it to IDE.
