I recently discovered Hydra which could match requirements of one of our product.
It’s a very large modular delphi 7 application and we need to integrate WPF screens from a c# module.
So Hydra seems to be the perfect match. We decide to try it.
First remark: the trial version 4 does not provide the dcu nor the package to be able to test it. We had to get a version 3 from componentsource.com to be able to test it.
Second: We’ve been able to do exactly what we needed in a very short time, which is beyond great. The problem now is a size problem. Our c# plugin is displayed in a delphi Tpanel. The problem is the plugin does not take fit its parents size. It seems to be embedded in another component which does not stretch.
Are we missing something? Are there any configuration that need to be made regarding plugin size?
I understand we have an old version of Hydra? Does latest version of Hydra manage natively parent size changes or does it have to be implemented by us?
Finally, is it possible to have the trial latest version with dcu / bpl to be able to test it in our delphi 7 application?
We are very interested by your component and are really thinking about buying it. But this size issue is key for us.
Thanks in advance for your response.
P.S: I’m french and my english can be a little rusty, so please excuse me if there are any mispelled word.
Can you please provide more details about this size issue? On the Delphi plugin indeed creates its own container inside parent, but it should fill parent control. Maybe you can send us a small sample that reproduces this problem?
As for Delphi 7 - Currently you can only do this with full version of Hydra (it should be compiled manually from sources).
Our next release (comes soon) will re-enable support for D7 in the installers
(including trials).
If you need trial version right now, then can you please register on our
site and tell us your login, we will upload trial version with Delphi 7 support into your personal downloads.
I managed to resolve my problem by defining in my interface 2 setters that set MyVisualPlugin.WinformHost.Height and MyVisualPlugin.WinformHost.Width in C# to Delphi Host panel dimensions. Does it help you figure out what could have gone wrong?
We indeed need latest trial version with delphi 7 support. My login is eh@keepcore.com.
Best regards
Using the given trial, i get the following error "entry point …@THYModuleManager@LoadModule…System@AnsiStringxixo not found…
I only recompile my application after installing the new trial. Application used to work with version 3.5 trial.
What did i do wrong?
Looks like there is a problem with runtime packages. Maybe your app is trying to load a bpl from old trial, can you please try to make a clean install of Hydra and try again?
If this won’t help then can you please send us your project so we can investigate this problem? You can send it to support@remobjects.com
