FindFmVisible property is missing

FAlvarado

What happened with the the FindFmVisible property of frxPreview component?
In the last two versions (5.6.4 and 5.6.6) it's missing and I was receiving AV errors in old projects.
I had to manually delete it form the dfm file. The value was False, so it did no harm, I think...

Update:
It's worse than that:
I delete the property in the dfm file and the project opens without error.
Save the project and close it and when I reopen it the AV displays (see printscreen attached)

As the property is in the object explorer the IDE adds the property to the dfm file and the AV occurs the next time the project is opened.

This is a bug and I had to reinstall version 5.6.3

It seems you still have some FR's files from previous version of FR in the system. Uninstall all instances of FR, remove all FR's files and folders (see system and hidden folders too) and then install FR 5.6.6 again

gpi

Modify frxPreview.pas in the Source folder:

procedure TfrxPreview.SetFindFmVisible(Value: Boolean);
var
NeedChange: Boolean;
begin
NeedChange := Value <> FSearchFrm.Visible;

//FSearchFrm.trvFind.Items.Clear;
if Value then
TextToFind := '';
if not (csDesigning in ComponentState) then
FSearchFrm.Parent := Self;
if FSearchFrm.trvFind <> nil then
begin
FSearchFrm.trvFind.Items.Clear;
FSearchFrm.trvFind.OnChange := OnTrvFindChange;
end;
if FSearchFrm.btnFind <> nil then
FSearchFrm.btnFind.OnClick:= OnFindClick;

FSearchFrm.Visible := Value;

FFindSplitter.Visible := Value;
if not Value then
TextFound := False;
if Owner is TfrxPreviewForm then
TfrxPreviewForm(Owner).FindB.Down := Value;
if NeedChange then
UpdatePages;
end;

procedure TfrxPreview.OnFindClick(Sender: TObject);
var
s: string;
begin
if Self.PreviewPages = nil then Exit; //add this line

s := TextToFind;

and recompile all FR's packages by recompile.exe

I have exactly the same problem. I get an acces violation when I toggle FindFMVisible or when I open the project.

I am using C++ Builder Berlin and FastReport VCL Standard Vers 5.6.6
I have with the Standard Edition no source code. How can I fix this problem?

Daniel did you check out GPI's replies?

FR installation process is flaky. It is always best to uninstall (and manually delete traces of) existing FR before installing updates.

Hopefully that will be addressed in the next major release...

Use FR 5.6 - 5.6.3 or wait for next build of FR
