But ActiveX???
Hey! Do not touch my favorite "ActiveX"!!! :)
Petition! Revolution! What the...
Sorry - the section "Favorite Projects" exist. My mistake :)
ReplyDeleteNo ActiveX? Marco Cantù was this intentional?
ReplyDeleteDarian Miller According to the Feature Matrix document, ActiveX support should be there.
ReplyDeleteI've Library and Type library, not more. D Archi
ReplyDeleteThis issue/bug is everywhere or it is only in my case?
ReplyDeleteDobrin Petkov Attila Kovacs and me see two of the four entries we would have expected. Don't know about others.
ReplyDeletei don't see ActiveX
ReplyDeleteHow did you install? from the ISO or using the new GetIt based installer?

ReplyDeleteNew installer. I'll try to another PC today.
ReplyDeleteInstalling from the ISO, I have the ActiveX entry with a total of 9 options. However, the option "type library" is missing.
ReplyDeleteAllen Bauer I installed from the ISO and have ActiveX with two options. I downloaded the ISO before the official launch date though as soon as the link was circulating on a forum for which I signed a NDA.

ReplyDeleteRoland Kossow Does it change when you open a project first? In addition, create an ActiveX library and check again.
ReplyDeleteI tried a new installation from the ISO.
ReplyDeleteEverything is ok for now and... without bad feeling!
The shit just happens sometimes. :)
This is not intentional. We'll figure out how to re-enable it. Do I get it right that Feature Installer is the one mostly affected, but there are issues also with the regular installer? Remember that the number of options you see changes depending if you have or not a project and if that project is an ActiveX project (for those who can create one)...
ReplyDeleteUwe Raabe Hi - and yes indeed - I did not know that! This does the trick. The ActiveX object galery is context sensitive. Which is good. So I guess in my case this is intentional and this leads me to suspecting that for everybody that does not see ActiveX at all it could be because of a non-windows target? Dobrin Petkov I probably should have known that but am not doing that much ActiveX.
ReplyDeleteMarco Cantù I missed the context sensitivity of the object galery. S with the iso I do not have a problem.
ReplyDeleteMarco Cantù So the capability of the Feature Installer to handle updates and hotfixes might be tested earlier than expected.
ReplyDeleteUwe Raabe Not sure, we might go for more "traditional" hot fixes, we'll see....
ReplyDeleteRoland Kossow I know about the context sensitivity of the object gallery but the case is not that case :)
ReplyDeleteSo I think this is just a bug in the installer. Just follow the steps described below:
1. File/New/VCL Forms Applications Delphi;
2. Save the project; Run - great! It working!
3. File/New/Other... (if you want to add in your project an Automation Object for example)
and... ActiveX just missing
If you install the Delphi from the ISO - the same steps lead to success.
And "ActiveX" is there (with the normal context sensitivity) from the beginning.
Not regarding Dobrin Petkov case (;
ReplyDeleteIn Delphi XE dialog you can see them all at once, but those that out of context are greyed out http://i64.tinypic.com/6rjxqc.png
Marco Cantù I don't know is this a bug - just want to tell you.
ReplyDelete"Tools/Manage Platforms..." missing from the menu in the installation from the ISO.
Dobrin Petkov That entry is bound to the new installer technology, so it is expected to be missing when installing from ISO. The ISO equivalent is restarting the setup in change mode.
ReplyDeleteUwe Raabe Ok - 10x :)
ReplyDeleteThe missing menu entry is as designed, you update platforms the same way you originally installed them. The only bug from this thread is the lack of ActiveX entries in the Object Repository when installing from the Feature / Web Installer.
ReplyDeleteAs I posted in the other thread, no need to reinstall from ISO to get back the ActiveX support. There is a workaround I'm double checking -- just a registry issue -- and will probably share soon
ReplyDeleteOK, you can try this. Close RAD/Delphi. Open the registry editor. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, open the Known IDE Packages\Delphi -- that is something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\18.0\Known IDE Packages\Delphi -- see the value for delphicompro240.bpl, edit it, and remove the __ pre-pended to the value (Untitled). In other word, change "__(Untitled)" into "(Untitled)". Close registry editor. Open the IDE. Works for me.
ReplyDeleteMarco Cantù Great! Works for me, too.
ReplyDeleteConfirmation from me, too.
ReplyDelete:)
Sorry for that. It is a package registration sequence. We'll have a fix. And an official blog post with the workaround
