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,

Hi Y'all,

after struggling with 4.1.9.1 package installation in my D2007 + D2009 environment, I created a new set of packages which allows you to install the Next Component Suite in D2007 and D2009 without any "Entrypoint Nxbla@Bla59.#+/&$ not found" problems in either one of the Delphi Installations. The key point is to give the D2007 BPL and the D2009 BPLs version specific names (Nx*D2007.BPL vs Nx*D2009.BPL).

From the Read.me in the attached .zip file :


The attached zip file only contains a special "TSWPackages" directory with the new package Projects :

- remove Next* - Components from D2007 and D2009 (you may also want to remove the NX*.bpls from the ..\x.0\BPL-Directory listed above)

- create one Directory for D2007 and unzip Version 4.1.9.1 to this directory
- add TSWPackages from my zip file
- Open project Delphi2007.groupproj
- Compile and install all Packages in the Project tree

- create one Directory for D2009 and unzip Version 4.1.9.1 to this directory
- add TSWPackages from my zip file
- Open project Delphi2009.groupproj
- Compile and install all Packages in the Project tree

Hope everything works for you as well !

This works nicely - thanks a lot for your help !
I tested the combobox in tNextInspector and tNextGrid and everything works as expected - please include this change in future versions.

Have a nice day !
