Dear All,
I'm trying to get acquainted with the new BDS
IDE and it's very strange. Not sure what
it's trying to emulate, but it's certainly
weird.
Anyway, I haven't been playing much on it
so I figured I'd slap up a simple form which
contains a memo, button and a TIdHTTP component.
(I'm *very* new at this Indy programming so
please forgive any mistakes.)
When the user clicks on the button, the
memo shows information from a pre-defined
url.
However, I'm not even able to get to that
part of creating an event for the button's
onclick. Just browsing the source, I get
one error in the mainform's public definition.
TMainForm = class(TForm)
...
IdHTTP1 : TIdHTTP;
~~~~~~~
When I mouseover the TIdHTTP, I get an
"Undeclared identifier: 'TIdHTTP'"
So I take a look at the uses list and notice
"Indy" not there. So I add "Indy" to the
end.
Now, I have two errors. Aside for the
unidentifier 'TIdHTTP', I also get
"cannot resolve unit name 'Indy'"
I installed BDS without the .NET personality but
with the CPP one. I installed the Indy
components and Intraweb ones as well.
is there something amiss? As my initial foray
into Internet programming under BDS, it's
not too easy. And as a 'returning' Delphi
programmer, it's even harder. (I get a similar
note from the C++ Personality...)
Any help/tips appreciated.
Edmund
