Two TSimpleGraph versions in the Delphi IDE

[kokkoras]

Is this possible? How? Renaming just the file doesn't work.
I want to experiment with the latest version without removing v. 1.67 used in a project of mine.

Thanks

Have you try 2 different directory-names and then rename each?
Only the original name is in the delphi path.

I think you should rename also the name of resgistered component (e.g. TSimpleGraph) to something else.

I tried with a different name and during compile it complaint about same names like TLink, etc. It was in a defferent dir and package. I recall the office COM server components for Office97 and 2000. Only one was possible to install at the same time. Strange. sounds like Delphi keeps all the definition in a central place and doesn't allow dublicate names. It's silly.

Where is that name defined?

I meant you have to rename all "TSimpleGraph" occurrences in the source file to something else.

Yes, I did that and it complaint about TGraphLink already defined. I think I must rename all the classes, which I don't like.

It is because the component registers graph object classes in to Delphi via RegisterClass procedure. Without registration, the component cannot load and paste graph objects.

Yes. I've figured that. Never mind.
