I downloaded and installed the components fine. However, when trying to
load the demo project, the IDE hangs and eats up 50% CPU. End Task'ing
the lazarus process in Windows is necessary at that point.
Is this only linux/gtk? Or is Win32 supported?
Hi Lee,
It's definitely meant to be a multiplatform suite.
You seem to have discovered a win32 specific bug. Since I only use
native components that means that it must be something the w32 widget
set does different.
Logically - only visual components could have issues with widget set
implementations. That limits it to TDoubleBuffer.
The only part of TDoubleBuffer that is active during design is the paint
method - so it seems win32 isn't handling that right.
Please try the following for me (I have no access to a windows machine
for a while)
Fine the lines in doublebuffer.pas that read:
if csDesigning in ComponentState then
Self.Canvas.CopyRect(rect(0,0,width,height),FBackground.BitMap.Canvas,rect(0,0,width,height));
And comment them out.
This will have no impact on running programs, it will just prevent the
background from being visible at designtime - but it may solve your
problem. Please let me know if it does, so I can update the code on my
side (I would use an IFDEF I imagine).
Win32 experts: If this works, how SHOULD I do it instead ?
Ciao
