[lazarus] How Can Lazarus Generate Excel ?
Want to prepare some reports(with font styles / formatting) in excel format from Lazarus? Is it possible?
[lazarus] TImage and jpg
Hi I am able to view a .xpm file in a TImage component. But not able to view a jpg file. The Components-Open Loaded Packages , ImageForLazarus and JpegForLazarus are listed. Could it be any conflict b/w these? I prefer to use .jpg as the file size of a .xpm is manyfold than a .jpg.

[lazarus] Screenshot tool under Linux
Does anybody know if there is a similar tool to MWSnap but for Linux? Or how I could write such a tool using Free Pascal/Lazarus? The feature I am really looking for is the Any area snap mode. When you select that snapping mode, you can then draw a rectangle anywhere on the screen/desktop and it will snap that rectangle to file/clipboard. At the moment under Ubuntu, I can take a full screen or full window screenshot. I then need to open Gimp so I can crop the image to only show the specific area of interrest. MWSnap with the Any Area mode does all this in a single step.

Re: [lazarus] How Can Lazarus Generate Excel ?
There are two ways to do this. 1. Create an OLE object and automate Excell from the application 2. Create a reader/writer to the MS Excell file format Obviously #1is more simple and faster to implement, although it will only work on the Windows platform.

Re: [lazarus] How Can Lazarus Generate Excel ?
I forgot to mention a third possibility. You can also output the data into some commonly known format like CSV from lazarus. As a second step you should make a maco in excell that reads this datafile and puts the corresponding items into the proper cells. This method is cross platform compatible and takes close to no time to implement. Darius There are two ways to do this. 1. Create an OLE object and automate Excell from the application 2.

Re: [lazarus] TFileStream - File Type?
Quoting Kris Leech [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is it possible to convert a memory byte stream (eg. TFileStream) in to a File pointer for use with normal file routines? Quick-Easy Answer: No. Any class (like TFileStream) is stored different in memory that a File type. Long-Difficult-Boring Answer: We call, sometimes, a File variable a pointer in terms of a concept. But, a File variable, speaking technically, isn't a pointer but a record. Suggestion: Why don't you use a TFileStream and its methods instead ? Or if you prefer, you may make your own unit, in order to use a TFileStream variable/object as it was a File variable and the methods you are use to. Example: --- Unit MyFileUnit; interface type TMyFile = TFileStream; procedure Assign(var F: TMyFile; FullPath: string); procedure Reset(var F: TMyFile; RecordSize: Integer); procedure Rewrite(var F: TMyFile; RecordSize: Integer); procedure Append(var F: TMyFile; RecordSize: Integer); procedure Close(var F: TMyFile); implementation procedure Assign(var F: TMyFile; FullPath: string); begin ... end; procedure Reset(var F: TMyFile; RecordSize: Integer); begin ... end; procedure Rewrite(var F: TMyFile; RecordSize: Integer); begin ... end; procedure Append(var F: TMyFile; RecordSize: Integer); begin ... end; procedure Close(var F: TMyFile); begin ... end; end. --- Just my 2 cents. maramirez _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

RE: [lazarus] Help!!
I have the keywords and flags set properly, I think. I foiled a bug with gentoo, aahd was politely informed that I needed to emerge a current version of findutils. After doing that, I was able to emerge fpc 2.0.4., but now I am not able to0 compile any of the sample programs since it cant find any units. I have tried various settings for the fpc source directory and tried commenting out the related entries in the fpc.cfg file to see if that was misdirecting the compiler. I may have larger problems since when I try to compile a simple program, it tries to compile the last program that I had opened, and I cant get it to compile the one that I have just opened?!?!
