where a package was installed ?

[tintinux]

Hi

I have made a package, and you know that it can be installed anywhere on the disk of those who want to use it. Fine.

Is there some way to make a function in the package, which returns, at runtime, only when running the executable in the EDI, the location where the package was installed ?

This is to be able to load, at run time, some datafile stored with the package. Not a resource file.

It is not needed outside the EDI, this is only useful during development.

Thanks for any idea !

There are some functions in the unit PackageIntf that might do what you need.

Just a guess, but PackageEditingInterface.FindPackageWithName returns a TIDEPackage, which has a Filename property and a DirectoryExpanded property.

Thanks, the functions look interesting.

But In the program executing inside the IDE, is it possible to assign a value to PackageEditingInterface ??

Otherwise, I wonder whether it is correct to :

When installing the package : Find the directory and create a macro for the value found.
When running the project in the IDE : set a ParamStr with this macro value
When running from the system : do not set the ParamStr
