Installation instructions

If installing the first time:

From the main menu of Delphi or C++Builder IDE:

  1. Choose 'File' | 'Close All'.
  2. Choose 'Component' | 'Install Packages'.
  3. A list of available packages appears under 'Design Packages'. Click 'Add' and browse in the 'Add Design Package' dialog box for the folder where you unzipped the downloaded archive. Select the .BPL file and click 'Open'.
  4. Click 'OK'. ProfGrid is now installed on the [ProfGrid] page of Component Palette.

If upgrading from an earlier version:

Before proceeding, you need to uninstall the former package from the IDE:

  1. Choose 'File' | 'Close All' from the main menu.
  2. Choose 'Component' | 'Install Packages'. The 'Project Options' dialog appears. In the 'Design packages' list, browse for the ProfGrid-related item and press the 'Remove' button for the item found.
  3. Remove the path to old package from the Library Path:
    In the main menu, choose 'Tools' | 'Environment Options'. The 'Environment Options' dialog appears. In the 'Environment Options' dialog, switch to the 'Library' tab and edit the 'Library path' settings.
  4. Now you can proceed with the same steps as in case of first-time installation (see above).
Note:  If you have upgraded from an earlier version, you may need to reopen in your projects each form that contains ProfGrid component. When opening forms created with some of former versions of ProfGrid, you may receive the dialog saying 'Property does not exist'. Press the 'Ignore All' button in the dialog and save the form. After all the forms are reopened and saved, choose 'Project' | 'Build' from the main menu to rebuild the project.
