Requirements

The packages require using latest released updates for each version of Delphi/C++Builder: Delphi 5.01, Delphi 6.02 RTL 3, Delphi 7.01, Delphi 8.02 for .NET, Delphi 2005.03 .NET & Win32, Delphi 2006.02 .NET & Win32, Delphi 2007.03 .NET & Win32, C++Builder 5.01, C++Builder 6.04, C++Builder 2006.02, C++Builder 2007.03. These packages can't be installed on the Trial or Personal version of Delphi/C++Builder.

Notice. When the Error Loading IDE Assembly or Package occurs (e.g. C:\Program Files\Borland\ BDS\2.0\XDBGrid\DCLXDBGrid80.dll is not a Delphi package/assembly) during Delphi for .NET is starting, it means, you should download and install the latest Update for Delphi first.

To run Demos you must have DBDEMOS (Delphi users) or BCDEMOS (C++Builder users) alias defined in BDE Administrator and this alias should point to the "...\Borland Shared\Data" directory.

TXQRGrid component requires to install latest version of QuickReport Standard for appropriate version of Delphi/C++Builder. For Delphi 5 - QR 3.5 (qr35sd5.exe), for Delphi 6 - QR 3.5.1 (qr351sd6.exe), for Delphi 7 - QR 3.5.1 (qr351sd7.exe), for C++Builder 5 - QR 3.5 (qr35sc5.exe), for C++Builder 6 - QR 3.5 (qr35sc6.exe).

The latest version of QuickReport Standard may be downloaded from QuSoft AS Home Page or directly from this page. If you want to use TXQRGrid component with other version of QuickReport (e.g. Professional) you should register the Professional version of X-Files Components (with source) to recompile this package.

TXQRGrid component for Delphi 8, Delphi 2005 & Borland Developer Studio 2006 is not delivered in X-Files Components Standard package due the QuickReport Standard package is missing in these versions of Delphi. To can still use TXQRGrid component in Delphi 8 or higher you should register X-Files Components Professional and QuickReport Professional 4.0x.

To get (on Delphi/C++Builder 5 & 6) Windows XP style for TXDBGrid component and to use Windows XP Themes for other controls delivered in the package, you should install Windows XP Theme Manager (freeware by Mike Lischke) and register the Professional version (with source) of the package. (Mike Lischke is author of Themes unit delivered in Delphi 7 and higher).

To can display additional graphic formats in TXDBGrid (*.png, *.pcx, *.scr, *.gif, *.tif, *.eps, etc.) you should download GraphicEx library by Mike Lischke (Mozilla Public Licence 1.1) and register the Professional version (with source) of a package.

To can using TXBlobField & TXGraphicField as default classes for BLOB fields, you must register the Professional version (with source) of a package, to can recompile it.
