Of course not, because I don't have Delphi 2009. I'm sorry!

Yes Kambiz , we really need this greate component to be functional under Delphi 2009 , could you please make a Patch .


Regards

I love to do that, but how can I do it without having Delphi 2009?

Thank you Kambiz , Delphi 2009 is out there ( available Now ) , could you please the Patch .

Many Thanks .

Where? Is it free?

Kambiz,

Maybe you can download the trial version for the time being and do the patch.

Rony

It could be a solution but look at the following blog post:
http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/delphi2009trial.html

I also agree with that post, after Delphi 7 the Delphi help is useless.

To easily compile FindFile.pas in Delphi 2009, change string to AnsiString, char to AnsiChar and PChar to PAnsiChar. Then change ALL string (now unicodestring) Windows API methods to AnsiString methods: ie- IsCharAlphaNumeric(C) to IsCharAlphaNumericA(C).

Once you do that it will compile and install, and function in Delphi 2009.
By changing to Ansi FindFile will not handle unicode strings however and it will not compile in Delphi versions other than Delphi 2009.

I can post the code here if Kambiz would like that.

Bill

Thanks Bill, it would be nice.

The attached version of findfile will only compile with Delphi 2009.
The attached version does not support unicode.
