Meaning of "Duplicate name: A component named 'Builtin' already
exists"
lazarus / 55-TAChart

I' ve made an application with a few Forms containing each a TChart
with TLineSeries, TBSplineSeries, TCubicSplineSeries.

When I run the program, at the first statement of the type:

XX.Create(Chart1); // where XX is a TLineSeries

I get the run-time error:

"Duplicate name: A component named 'Builtin' already exists"

I have made ListChartSource's for every Series that I use, so I
actually never use the built-in Source.

What should I do ?

Rename the component which produces the name clash?

Please show some code.

If XX is the instance of the series to be created then you selected an
at best inconventient, but probably incorrect way of creating an
instance of a class. Use this instead:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i var  XX:
TLineSeries;begin  XX := TLineSeries.Create(Chart1);

I used the code posted by wp and it works perfectly.
The problem is solved.

Thanks to wp and howardpc.
