RE: [BCB3] Adding Custom Components to the Palette

["MILLS, Alan (Maidenhead, UK)" <alanm@uk.europe.mcd.mot.com>]

I've found that I have to make four one line changes in order to install
my native CBuilder1 component into the CBuilder3 component Pallet and I
am documenting these and adding them as a short 'tutorial' at "The Bits"
site.  It should be there in a couple of days.

For those who can't wait...

In your .h

Change the line

Class TMyComponent : public TComponent
To
Class PACKAGE TMyComponent : public Tcomponent

In the .cpp file

Change the line
void __fastcall Register()
to
void __fastcall PACKAGE Register()

Add the line #pragma package(smart_init) after your #includes

And finally to find youyr .res file add the line 

#pragma resource "*.res"

Applying these changes has worked for my components.

Of course, now I've posted this no-one's going to read my tutorial...
:-(
