Lesson 1 Problem with Lazarus AND Delphi XE3

#1 Postby mike h » Fri Nov 09, 2012 5:42 pm

OK,

I'm new to Forex Tester and I want to program my strategies. My 2 options are Lazarus (v26 and others) and Delphi XE3.

I have run into the same problems that others have with lesson #1 regarding failure to attach .dll files (Lazarus) and inability to find the graphics.dcu file (Delphi).

Have these issues been adequately addressed? Should I just go use C++?

Thx,
Mike

I figured it out. I Googled Delphi and graphics.dcu and found that the code in StratInterfaceUnit needs to have Vcl. prefix. That's letter l, not a number 1.

uses
Vcl.graphics;

I modified my code in StratInterfaceUnit, and now it works...
