This is a strange one, and is related to the Delphi IDE environment, but I'm hoping someone has some insight, cos I'm at a loss.
Basically, the problem is that I'm now in a situation where any project I create that uses a TChart with a TBarSeries gives me the "Class TBarServices not found" error when I re-open it from a fresh start of the IDE.
As an example, currently if I do the following:
- Create a new VCL forms application,
- add a
TChartcomponent to the form, - edit the chart through the designer and add a Series, choosing Bar as the type.
- Build the project,
- run it, everything is fine.
- Close the IDE and restart it.
- Open the previously saved project. Immediately get the Error Reading Form message about Class TBarSeries not found.
But if I then:
- Close the broken project without saving, and leave the IDE running.
- Create a new VCL form with or without a project,
- add the
TChartand bar Series to the form, - close the form/application without saving.
- Reopen the previously saved project that threw the error. No error any more.
Creating a new TForm with a TChart and TBarSeries is changing the Delphi IDE in some way that is not persistent, so that the next time the IDE is started, those projects no longer load properly.
I have included VCLTee in the Unit Scope Names, but the Enterprise version of Delphi 10.2 does not include the source for these components, so there are no additional paths I can add to the Library Path.
Once I have created a new form and set up the chart, everything is fine with any project that uses the TBarSeries so long as I don't close the IDE, so that's the workaround I currently employ.
