F1026 File not found: ‘Designintf.dcu’ Delphi error

-
When I was porting some components from old Delphi 7 version to new Delphi XE5  version, I was getting “F1026 File not found: ‘Designintf.dcu’” error frequently. And I always seem to forget the solution for the error messages about Designintf. So for my memory and for your help, here I will explain how to solve this issue.

DesignIntf
Defines the interfaces and classes used by the property editors in the IDE. DesignIntf used to be a supplied as a .DCU file and was in the VCL package in old Delphi versions. Since it was a .DCU file, you could use it in both run-time and design-time packages.

Now in newer Delphi versions it is replaced with following units.
• DesignIntf,
• DesignEditors,
• DesignConst
• DesignMenus
• DesignWindows

 Solution

 These above units are supplied in the DesignIde package. So to solve this issue we just need to add DesignIde.dcp to required package list. 

 Since the DesignIde package is design-time only, you can use these units only for design-time only packages. The designide.dcp for XE3 or later can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\lib\win32\release

 Add DesignIde.dcp in package requires part.

 Right click on required option and select Add Reference option.

ShellExecute in Delphi – Launch external applications.

How to send Email in Delphi?

-
Today in most of software program it is required to send mail to others with attached data. As some time we need to update clients about their account details, status or any other information through mail. So Delphi provides so many easiest ways to send mail from our Delphi application. I have collected some of ways which are very useful for Delphi developers. In Delphi we don't required any third party components to send mails. We can send mail to single or group of peoples with CC, BCC and attachments. Even we can send HTML mails from Delphi. So here are the ways... 1. ShellExecute Sends Email using default mail client software installed on user's system. But it will not work with attachment for every mail client. And you have to use ShellAPI  unit in uses list. ShellExecute(Self.Handle,              nil,              'mailto:' +              'jiten.g.s001@gmail.com' +              '?Subject=Test Message Subject' +

Believe me, drawing shapes in Delphi is so easy. To develop a software like CAD, Paint, CorelDraw Delphi provides large number of classes and members that supports to draw shapes on a form or on a graphic control. In Delphi, we draw shapes on canvas of a form or graphic controls. Canvas is an area of form where we can draw shapes, lines and can fill colors on shapes. In Delphi, every form or graphic controls have Canvas property which provides TCanvas object that can be used to draw shapes. TPen object is used to draw lines and we can set size, color of lines. TBrush object is used to set color and style to fill the shapes. Most frequently used classes for drawing shapes are TCanvas , TBitmap, TGraphics, TPen, TBrush TCanvas Use TCanvas as a drawing surface for objects that draw an image of themselves TBitmap   Bitmap is a powerful graphics object used to create, manipulate (scale, scroll, rotate, and paint), and store images in memory and as files on a disk.  TGraphics TGr
