Conversion from delphi project incomplete
« on: May 22, 2025, 09:24:37 am »
I would like to convert an old project made in delphi into a lazarus project.
I tried the integrated conversion procedure but during the process it gives me an error in the conversion of the "forms", no code is indicated and in conclusion fatal conversion aborted.
However, by launching the execution after the correction of some grammatical discrepancies of the language the program starts and works, but I do not see the form in the viewer and I cannot modify it, there are some things to fix on the dimensions of the fields.
In the original project there are no external components all default of delphi, original compiler delphi borland development studio 2006.
Lazarus ver 4.0 FCP 3.2.2 under windows 11.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello Thanks.

The delphi forms are probably saved as binary and not as text.
Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I solved it, the next time Lazarus is started the main module appears.
The .dfm file is present and it is a text file, but it was processed during conversion.
Anyway, it works now.
