hello,
i read this part and test new components.
With old gui i can create components with gui as in first image, but in new gui version i can't do this(second image).
As i see all altera components implemented in com.altera.nios2.jar and com.altera.sopcmodel.components.avalon.jar (and others).
for old components(*.ptf) - any operation requires 2-4 minute...2-4 min for add component, 2-4 min apply configuration...

Hi nvs,
I tried to take a look at the images you posted, but it was marked as forbiden - no access permission (it is probably the location of the url was blocked by my companies server). Could you post the images from another web location?
What I understand is that older ptf based components (created before version 7.1), need to go through a conversion process (The moving time bar) every time they are accessed (adding a component, editing or configuring a component) in the new SOPC Builder gui which now uses Java and tcl based components. This is a slow process because a ptf component needs to be converted to work in the new GUI for the configuration menus to work. If you port your componets to be tcl based using the _hw.tcl file the component adding and configuration is much faster than in the old SOPC Builder gui.
I've never seen a user created component (from just VHDL or Verilog files) have a GUI show up other than just the parameter settings. Are you doing any unique or special for this? I've seen some AMPP and Altera IP megacores have some graphics in their configuration menu when they are added to SOPC Builder. As a general user of SOPC Builder, only know the component editor flow to building a component which only creates a basic dialog box with some optional parameters.
