I have down-loaded Balmsoft Wizard which is now an OS project on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/bswizard . The last version supported by the project was D7. I have had great success at upgrading the project to D2007 and have it [mostly] installed and working. The part that isn't is the IDE Wizard to create a new Wizard Form. In addition I'm hoping to extend the project to create a new Wizard Project. Both of these are being done with templates from Eric at GExperts and well described steps by Jim at MustangPeak. I've read in a post, doing research on upgrading components to IDEs beyond D7, that if FindCategory isn't successful with the IDString it gets passed that it will create that category. Is this true? In the existing project, the return value for IOTAWizard.GetIDString is set to Result := 'Balmsoft.Wizards.Wizard'; Is this inconsequential in D2006 and above? I've noticed that the trend in my D2007Pro IDE is for CodeGear to use "WizardCategory.MyWizards.Delphi.Personality" although other tools pretty much continue to use whatever they had been using before. Should I IFDEF the GetString function to conform? I hope that makes some sort of sense. I have been doing quite a bit of research, specifically at http://www.gexperts.org/opentools/ [thanks Eric] and http://www.mustangpeak.net/ [thanks Jim] ... just thought I'd take a moment to thank them both for all the great work they've done in documenting the undocumented. Thanks! -- Dave http://tdelphihobbyist.blogspot.com/
