Error Message: "Resource ExperimentFrame.res not found"

Question

I'm trying to create a frame VCL inside my project using factory pattern

something like this:

TFrame* newToolbarFrame =
   FrameFactory::getInstance().createObject(toolbarFrameClassId);

When the factory creates the implementation class, I get an error message about missing resource file.

For example if I create an instance of class TFrameFooBar using factory, I get this Exception:

Project gymAce raised EResNotFound with message "Resource TFrameFooBar not found" .

This looks bit like an IDE issue.

Does anyone know a workaround for this?

TFrame is trying to perform DFM streaming of its design-time properties, but your app is not linking in the actual TFrameFooBar class's DFM into the executable's resources for TFrame to find at runtime.
