Just to kick this off (and before I get too many flames), I
did just fall off the apple cart as far as this visual programming nonsense is concerned! I usually program for microcontrollers, so while the basic language is familiar, a whole lot of what is going on with all this visual stuff seems to be magic. I have been asked (told) to design a UI for a system that we are developing at my university, and my boss said 'Oh, Dave, He's a programmer, He'll do it' and so here I am. I really want to turn in my software with LCARS (Star Trek) buttons as a joke, just for them making me do this, but I can't seem to find a good package. I found some great Delphi ones, Created a package for them, and tried to install them (in Borland C++ Builder...) , but every time I do there is a 'property as array' error that has something to do with the 'LCARSAllocator' file. The error says something about an incompatible language thing. I have managed to install & use some of the rest of the components, but I relaly want to get this nailed down. Also, after I install what I have got, I get an error saying that it contains units that are also in other files., so it isn't going to load them instead.
Even just a point in the right direction would be great.
Please don't bother flaming, I already know I suck at this.
all of the files I have been using are here:
http://strike.bounceme.net/nrrrd
The directory has the loose files for browsing, and the zip has all the files in one lump if you wnat to play with them.
I have played around with the lcarsallocator.pas file, the original text is commented out (Just one line) and in the package, I have played around with not including different other packages.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
