\Source\Vcl and ActnRes.pas missing from the Personal and Trial editions of C++Builder 6

\Source\Vcl and ActnRes.pas missing from the Personal and Trial editions of C++Builder 6

Description:

I am using the Personal edition of C++Builder 6 and am in the process of doing the Text Editor Tutorial. On the "Adding images to the Action Manager" page of the Tutorial, the instructions refer to the following file:

C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\Source\Vcl\ActnRes.pas

Neither this \Source\Vcl directory nor the ActnRes.pas file exist on my hard drive or the C++Builder CD. Where can I get them so I can finish the Tutorial?

Answer/Solution:

The Text Editor Tutorial, as written, applies to the Professional and Enterprise editions of C++Builder 6 only. It does not fully apply to the Personal or Trial edition, since the Personal and Trial editions do not include VCL source code. This is why the \Source\Vcl directory and ActnRes.pas file are missing.

To proceed with the Tutorial, you can download the needed ActnRes.pas file from Steve Trefethen's website here:

http://www.geocities.com/delphihelp/ActnRes.htm

ActnRes.pas is provided there only for the purposes of completing the Text Editor Tutorial and should not be used elsewhere. The instructions on the website are for Delphi but will work the same for C++Builder.
