Components hidden in Target Designer?

I have an .slx image file (created by someone who's not here anymore long
time ago) that includes some Components that are not listed in my components
list. For example, ACM Core Codecs, and some other ones. The image builds
without errors.

I'm trying to create same image for the system with different hardware, but
can't add these components 'cause they're not im my list of components. Can
they be hidden from the list? How can I find them?

thnx!
 
You will need to lower the component visibility level in TD Advanced Options.
Set it to the minimum 100 to see all the component in the browser.

Thank you!!
I still can't find two of them. One is Custom component, and another one is
NetUser Windows API. What are those numbers, how does it work?

Did you recently start with the new install of the XPe Database? If so, did you re-import the Custom component (SLD) you are
referring to?

Perhaps, "NetUser Win32 API"?

no, its the same DB. the thing is, we have out old slx that was created bac
in SP1 days (by who knows who). than we updated xpe tools to SP2, and than to
FP07. The original slx was never modified, the components were never updated
to sp2 versions.

i can open that slx in traget designer and i see that component in project's
components, but not in DB list. but it still builds w/o errors and the
component's stuff is in the image (component created a user account)
Perhaps, "NetUser Win32 API"?

i have NetUser Win32 API, but my old slx has NetUser Windows API. i don't
know if the Win32 API is the updated ver of Windows API, and thats why latter
isn't showing :-/
 
Did you lower the TD Visibility level? Just wondering what do you see as the visibility for that custom component in the
configuration.

You can just remove the Windows API version and add NetUser Win32 API.

yes. in TD I set it to 100 - after that i saw almost all components I was
missing before, but not this custom one. Then I added your (I assume, and I
thank you) XPE Tools component and set this value to 0, as I read somewhere,
i think on your blog (another great thanks! - great source of info on XPE)
(but nothing really happened - do I need to reload after that?)



 
So, what do you see now?
Do you see the custom component in the project tree loaded in TD but not in the Component Browser there, right? What icon does the
component has in the project tree? (trying to understand if it is a fake node there)

Also, can you see the component in CDM (Component Database Manager)?
And do you search for the component by name (e.g., using TD filters) or are you just trying manually to find it in the component
browser tree?

And last but not least. Can you search for the component using DependencyExplorer UI from XPeTools package mentioned earlier.

correct.

blue (not gray), with up-arrow

no, not there (Components tab / All components, i only have one platform).

And do you search for the component by name (e.g., using TD filters)
or are you just trying manually to find it in the component browser tree?

tried both:
1. selected list view, and scrolled to where it would be (they are all in
alphabetical order, as far as I can tell)
2. Looked in "Categories" property for this component (in project tree),
looked in these categories
3. Created filter: "Display name contains", copied single word (first one)
from display name
4. Searched by this word using search
Can you search for the component using DependencyExplorer
UI from XPeTools package mentioned earlier.
Click to expand...

no. Search by Component name: full name search returned "no components
found". partial string search returned same components TD Filter finds.


We have a few custom components. Two of them (including the one I can't see)
create users. One of them I can see, the only thing different in properties
window pan, is the one I CAN see in the Packages field lists "Custom xxxxx;"
(xxxxx = company name), anlog with few other "windows" ones. The one I CAN
NOT see, does not list this Package. Also Revisions are different, and,
naturally, Name fields.

And as I think I mentioned before, if I build and deploy Image that includes
this component, the User IS created. If I create new same SLX without it
(since I can't find it) - the user its suppose to create expectedly isn't
there.
