Using Madcollection with Delphi Turbo Explorer

Post by PoppaBart »

Hi,

I'm using Delphi Turbo Explorer which does not allow 3rd party components to be installed.

Is there a way I can use madexception by creating it at runtime and filling in the information that is usually available from the IDE.

Kindest Regards

Turbo Delphi does not even accept my precompiled DCUs, AFAIK. So the only way to make this work would be to compile your projects with the full madExcept source code (which is only available in the commercial madExcept edition). Then you could use madExceptPatch afterwards to "enable" madExcept. This tool is normally meant to be used for batch compiling...

Thanks,

However I was hoping I could add the required components to the uses clause and then try something like;

MadException := TMadExceptionHandler.Create(application);

with MadException do
begin
// add code here that sets up the exception handling similar to that set in
// the IDE
end;

Hope this makes sense

Turbo Pascal's uses clause only accepts "pas" files and system "dcu" files, but not 3rd party precompiled "dcu" files. The non-commercial edition of madExcept only comes with precompiled "dcu" files and those are not accepted by Turbo Delphi.
