Cant find Ancestor for TOKBottomDlg - CB6 to BDS migration
#202

I am migrating a large 112 unit project from C++Builder6 to BDS2006 Update2.  The project contains horizontal dialog boxes.  When I open a horizontal dialog *.cpp unit file I get this error popup box message:
  "Error creating form: ancestor for 'TOKBottomDlg' not found".  Furthermore, when I started to build the project I got this popup box error message:
  "Unable to find static library idectrls.lib"
However, compiling did proceed.  But when it came to linking I got this error:
  "[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open 'OKCANCL1.OBJ'".

I tried replicating this bug using a simple project with a mainform which contained a button, and When this button was clicked, a horizontal dialog box appeared.  This project compiled, linked and ran OK, although I still got the popup box 
error message: 
  "Unable to find static library idectrls.lib". 
However, I did NOT get the error popup box message:
  "Error creating form: ancestor for 'TOKBottomDlg' not found", and I did NOT get the error:
  "[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open 'OKCANCL1.OBJ'".  

Perhaps the TOKBottomDlg error is specifically introduced in the conversion of a C++Builder6 project to a BDS2006 project.

I have twice tried to start a completely new *.bdsproj file, and then add the 112 *.cpp units, but both times I have been unsuccessful.  I am now completely STUCK.

I posted this problem on Quality Central a week ago and it has not gone past the "Reported" stage - it hasnt even been "Opened" let alone solved.  In lieu of spending ca. �200 (or approx $400) for a Single Incidence Report, I was wondering if anyone in this newsgroup had a suggestion.

Thanks,

Bill Anderson
