Hi, Boki,

I notice that the latest version of the NextDBGrid has lost its MultiSelectType property.

I assume this is a planned change, and I didn't need it - but just out of curiosity, what did the property do,
and it is replaced by anything else?

Regards,
PhilW.

Hello Phil,

Just click on Ignore since this property will not be used anymore.

Boki, this turned out to be a real problem for me, because I have to open every form containing a dbgrid and click "Ignore".
Sounds simple, but : I have about 30 different projects for different customers with tons of forms. To identify and apply this change to every form with a dbgrid is a real mess.

My personal advice would be to keep the property for the current major version (5) and to just add a comment. "// Will be dropped in V 6.x."

As I did not expect a change like this in a minor update, I delivered a non working version to a customer today and had a hard time fixing this problem.
(Yes, It's my fault, because I did not test some forms before emailing the Executable. I do a lot of testing when I update to major Versions of Components (4.x -> 5.x), but did not expect a behaviour like that in a minor version change.)

Now I only have some 25+ Applications left which I have to open form by form, "Ignore" the property away and recompile them. That will take me at least half a day.
There must be a better way to handle changes like this on your end.


Have a nice day,

Spongebob.

Hello Spongebob,

I understand.

I am now trying to avoid this situations where some property is missing. I hope that there will be no such situations in future.

Howdy,

I've also noticed this prob. with my latest download & install of
the Developer Suite (nextcomps5_613.zip).

Questions:
1. Did I obtain the latest ver. for Delphi, ver 7?
2. If not, what is the latest ver?
3. If I do have the latest ver. for Delphi, ver 7 - how can I avoid this prob?

Thanks for your help,

Marc B.
