Which component page is TXMLDocument on?
« on: September 08, 2019, 10:54:25 pm »
I must be going blind, I can't find it.  Lazarus 1.8.4,  FPC 3.0.4

Also, is there a way to search all my components in all tabs, for a particular component?

Thanks in advance.

Ctrl Alt P - all components listed in a new window with a search field.

Oh, cool.  Thanks for that.  Now I can see that I definitely DO NOT have a TXMLDocument component in my Lazarus.  Where do I get it?

No, you have it. It is not a component, i.e. has no place on the component palette. Simply add laz2_dom and probably also laz2_xmlread and/or laz2_xmlwrite to your uses list. See https://wiki.freepascal.org/XML_Tutorial.

Its in the DOM unit..

Type
 TXMLDocument = Class(TDOMDocument);

I think I got that.
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing

I've added those units, compile ok, (thank you) now converting an old Delphi app to Lazarus, the old code has:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   DOMSel: IDOMNodeSelect;  Node: IDOMNode;
  2.  

Lazarus compiler chokes on both of these.  What is the Lazarus/FPC equivalent?

Lazarus handles xml differently. I don't know if a delphi compatible XML-library is somewhere around...

I'll study the tutorial page you sent me and abandon the pure Delphi portions of the old code.
