SiComponents Forums

Hello
I've modified a sil file with the editor and after
I've reloaded the file with the expert, Delphi can't
compile the project saying:
RLINK32: Unsupported 16bit resurce in file xxxxx.dfm
If I tray to open the form Delphi says:
Error creating form: Identifier expected on line xxx
on line xxx there is this line of code:
ValuesEx = {50617373776F72640150617373776F72640101}
Has the Editor corrupted my file?
How can I fix the problem?

Please help me
Thanks a lot

Hello,

We will fix this issue in the next version release. Please, modify the unit siComp.pas as follows:

In the
procedure TsiCustomLang.LoadExtendedFromFile(const FileName: Tstring; const CanRewrite: Boolean);

Before the line:
EI.PropertyType := TTypeKind(GetEnumValue(TypeInfo(TTypeKind), S1));

Add the line:
if AnsiPos(delim, S1) <> 0 then Delete(S1, AnsiPos(delim, S1), MaxWord); // 5.2.3

After that, re-build the package and load the translations from SIL file.

Hi gaivans, thanks for your kind reply.
This will surely fix siComp but my actual problem is to fix
the corrupted files because I was in a hurry and I missed
the backup of my project ...

Hello,

This will help to restore the corrupted files:

1. Open the corrupted .dfm file in a text editor, i.e., in Notepad.exe.
2. Select File|Replace..., and replace:
PropertyType =
with:
PropertyType = tkInteger
3. Press "Replace All".
4. Save the file.

After that the .dfm file could be opened in the IDE.

Yeah ! it works !
I really appreciated your help gaivans.
You saved my life
