Here's how to recompile and install Developer Express Quantum Grid v3.2.2 in Delphi 2006. We're assuming you've got the Delphi 6 version. If you don't have the source code, this will be of no use to you.



Notes: I did not convert ExpressMemData and haven't tried to install it
because I don't need it.



This is not heavily tested. At this point
I've only dropped the installed
components on forms and run
(successfully).



Rather than updating the D6 source to work with all
versions, I copied it
and modified the copy to be sure I don't screw up the original
and because I hope to
be upgrading all code to use the latest DevEx QG
version within the next few
months, so all of the v322 stuff will be gone
soon anyhow.




Steps:



1. In your DevEx directory is a
tree with the following folders:

ExpressCommon,

ExpressEditors Library,

ExpressInplaceEditors,

ExpressQuantumGrid.

In each of those folders is
another folder named
Delphi6. Create another folder in each of those folders
named Delphi2006 and
copy the contents of the Delphi6 folder.

2. In
each of the new Delphi2006 folders, change all file names that end
with a 6
to 2006.

3. Edit all the dpk files in the *Delphi2006 directories: Change
the
package name and everthing in the 'requires' list from '6' to
'2006'

4. Open D2006. In the project manager, right-click on the
Project
Group> and for each *2006.dpk in the Source directories, 'Add
existing
project'. Save the project group so you can easily modify things in
the
future if necessary.

5. In each project's Options, set the Output
directory, Unit output
directory, and DCP output directory to the project's
LIB folder. (the Lib
folders are located at the same tree level as the
Source)

6. In all of the *.inc files in the Delphi2006 folders, add the
following
at the bottom of the file:



{$IFDEF VER180} { Delphi 2006
}

{$DEFINE DELPHI4}

{$DEFINE DELPHI5}

{$DEFINE DELPHI6}

{$DEFINE DELPHI2006}

{$ENDIF}



7. Source
Changes:

1.. ExpressQuantumGrid\Delphi2006\Sources\dxDBCtrl.pas: In
function'DataVarType', there's a const array of TFieldType declared. More

items have
been added to that TFieldType since Delphi6 so, after where it
says 'varDouble', add:

{$IFDEF DELPHI2006}


varstring, {
ftFixedWideChar }

varstring, { ftWideMemo }

vardate, {
ftOraTimeStamp }

varstring { ftOraInterval }

{$ENDIF}



2.. ExpressQuantumGrid\Delphi 6\Sources\dxFilter.pas: In procedure
'ReadVariant' in the const array (ValTtoVarT) of TValueType, immediately after '{$IFDEF DELPHI6}, varError' add '{$IFDEF DELPHI2006}, varError
{$ENDIF}'



8. Project|Build All Projects

9. Create a
directory under \Developer Express Inc named DXRuntime2006
and add it to

your System path (you can do that within Delphi under
Tools|Options|Environment Variables, by double-clicking on PATH). Copy all the BPL files in the *2006\LIB folders to DXRuntime2006.

10.
Right-click on each project in project manager and Install. Several
will not
install because they aren't design time packages but I found it was

faster
to simply try to install them and let Delphi sort out whether they are or
not.

11. That should do it.
