Question:
How can my IDE Add-In expert enumerate all installed components?
Answer:
Borland's interface for IDE services provides the function GetComponentName() which takes two arguments - the index of the package and the index of the component within a package. It can be used as shown below.
library IDEAddInExpert;
uses
ToolsApi;
//..
procedure EnumerateInstalledComponents;
var
a,
i: integer;
begin { EnumerateInstalledComponents }
with BorlandIDEServices as IOTAPackageServices do
begin
for a := 0 to GetPackageCount-1 do
begin
for i := 0 to GetComponentCount(a)-1 do
begin
sName := GetComponentName(a, i); // name of installed component
end; { for i }
end; { for a }
end; { with }
end; { EnumerateInstalledComponents }
//..
end.
