Delphi 6 - Upgrade from version 1.9.24 to latest version

Post by Daniele Buttarelli »

Hello,
I have to update TRichView to the latest version (in a project developed with Delphi 6).
Are the two versions compatible or there are some breaking changes?
Can you tell me the best practices to follow?
Thanks.
Daniele.

I am sorry for overlooking this question.
The last version of TRichView is still compatible with Delphi 6 (minimal supported version is Delphi 5).

We always try to make new versions as compatible with old versions as possible, but sometimes full compatibility is impossible.
See the version history topics: https://www.trichview.com/help/version_history.html
Each topic contains possible compatibility issues at the beginning.
The most important issues:
- types of all string parameters are changed to TRVUnicodeString (= WideString in Delphi 6)
- some events have changed parameters
