I’m a bit confused on adding stylecontrol for RAD studio. I herd that if you install it on the Delphi version, you can also use it with C++ builder. So I compiled the source of stylecontrol for Delphi 32 bit and installed. I added sources to library path options of IDE. And everything works fine Delphi side for both 32bit and 64 bit. The issue is when I go over to C++ builder, 32 bit works just fine but not 64 bit for some reason. When I change to 64 bit for a VCL application for C++ builder, and try to compile it with lets say a button from stylecontrol from the pallet it told me: “[bcc64 Fatal Error] Unit1.h(10): ‘scControls.hpp’ file not found” So i looked around and found that when I compiled stylecontrols in Delphi, it also gave me .hpp at path: “C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\hpp\Win32” So I added it in my project options “Include file search path”, which seems to fix that issue I guess. I tried recompiling again for 64 bit, I get another error: “[ilink64 Error] Fatal: Invalid object file ‘C:\USERS\PUBLIC\DOCUMENTS\EMBARCADERO\STUDIO\22.0\DCP\STYLECONTROLS_D11ALEXANDRIA.BPI'”
So I’m not to sure how to deal with this, what is the proper way to do this?
Hi Bobby, I’m not sure about C++ Builder because I’ve only used the controls with Delphi. AlmediaDev do give excellent support – can I suggest you contact them and explain what is going on so they can help you directly?
