Is there a version of LockBox for Delphi-XE

Question

where can I find a version of LockBox for Delphi-XE

Answer 1

You can make it work. It is not that hard.

1. Download from SVN. I'll refer to the base directory as tplockbox.
2. Go to the tplockbox/trunc/packages directory. Copy the d2010 directory contents to a new directory named XE.
3. Rename TP_LockBox_d2010.grouproj to TP_LockBox_XE.groupproj
4. Open it, right click TP_LockBox3_d2010.bpl, go to Options, change "LIB suffix" from the Description section to _XE.
5. Do the same for the dclTP_LockBox3_d2010.bpl project
6. Adjust output paths and directories for all projects. I don't remember if I just went ahead and changed this globally.
7. Build and install TP_LockBox3_XE.bpl and dclTP_LockBox3_XE.bpl packages.

If you want the test cases to work, you'll have to modify the tplockbox/trunc/test/uLockBox_TestCases.pas file. There are some hard coded checks for an older version of DUnit than the one that comes with Delphi XE. You can just comment out these checks.

Answer 2

There's a Delphi 2010 version available on Songbeamer.com. Based on my experience porting Abbrevia to Delphi XE, it should work as-is. You may want to rename the project files, but that should be about it.

Answer 3

I believe that the Songbeamer version is not the "official" sourceforge version.

Answer 4

You should try the soureforge.net version, the TurboPower tools were updated by Nick Hodges and many others (IIRC it's even based on the songbeamer.com version):
