After reading some mailing lists and bbs, I could not find the right way to set up a development environment for developing packages and components. Perhaps we can collect some tips here for a good setup.
For component development, it is proposed to create a run-time package containing the run-time code for the component and a development-time package that uses the run-time package and registers only components for delphi ide.
Therefore, in my case, I use a group project that contains the following projects:
MyComponentGrp
|
+- MyComponent140.bpl
|
+- DclMyComponent140.bpl
|
+- TestApp.exe
This setting works fine, but to change the code in the runtime package, you need to reinstall the designtime package for the changes to be applied. I understand this behavior when I need to add new properties. But when changing code inside a method, for example, it should be enough to create a runtime package, right?
How to set up an IDE for component development?
