Hello, I'm converting my first project to C++ Builder 2006 and have got TSILang installed just fine. At designtime I can use the components, and it also compiles. However, the linker complains that it cannot find SICOMP.OBJ. I guess I'm missing something obvious. I have the following related to TSIL...

I tried again, same result. I have sent the file to support@sicomponents.com

Igor, it doesn't seem to work :( for ST := Low(TStringsType) to High(TStringsType) do begin Lst := SI.GetPropListByType(ST); Lst1 := AComp.GetPropListByType(ST); if (Lst1 <> nil) and (Lst <> nil) then Lst1.Assign(Lst); (*FIX INSERTED HERE*) if ST in [stCaptions, stHints, stFonts, stCharsets] then fo...

After further testing it seems like this fix does *not* work for Items-x+ (treeviews).

Please help.

To avoid a performance problem on Win98 I was recommended to use SIB files instead of SIL files. To convert my existing SIL files to SIB files I do the following in SILEditor: 1) Create new SIL file 2) Merge with existing SIL file 3) Export to CSV 4) Create new SIB 5) Import CSV file 6) Save SIB fil...

Brian, 1. Open your SIB file in some HEX Editor. 2. Replace ALL strings like Columns-0+.Text to Columns[0].Text and so on for all Collections. 3. Save the file 4. Check if error gone. Yes, that fixes the error. The error is present for Columns, Panels and Items. Please let me know when a permanent ...

Igor, after converting my SIL files to SIB files, I'm having problems on forms with statusbars and listviews. If statusbars have panels with text or listviews have columns with text, e.g. a ''Panels-0' is not a valid integer value' or a ''Columns-0' is not a valid integer value' is thrown when calli...

The origin of this problem could be that SIL Editor have built the SIB file using TsiLangLinked components since it didn't find the translations for Dialogs and Locales in your CSV. In this case I can recommend add siLngLnk unit into include clause of any of your unit to prevent this exception. OK,...

You should use LoadAllFromBinaryFile() method not LoadAllFromFile() method. LoadAllFromFile() expects SIL file as input not SIB. Hope tjhis helps. OK, couldn't find this method documented in the help file Igor ;-) I have now replaced all my calls to LoadAllFromFile with LoadAllFromBinaryFile. When ...

Could you use SIB files instead of SIL? Because using SIB files is much faster than SIL. Hi Igor, yes, that might be the solution. However, I'm having trouble getting SIB files to work. I would rather not use the Expert to generate the SIB files as it stores information I'm not interested in (like ...

Hi, I'm using TSILang in http://www.bitzipper.com and just released German and Danish versions. I got a few angry emails because the program is *SLOW* (as the users wrote). I was quite puzzled until I started tracing the problem on Windows 98. The Wizard interface (which the program starts in) is ve...
