Re: [lazarus] Converting Strings to Currency
On 5/11/07, John Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe StrToFloat(AString); ?? Thanks! That worked, but I have one question. If you have a Currency type, why are you throwing it to a function named StrToFloat? Why not StrToCur or StrToCurrency? Just asking so I know not to make that mistake in the future. Just keep in mind that the StrToFloat and FloadToStr uses different rounding rules compared to CurrToStr and StrToCurr. The later uses bankers rounding (see Wikipedia for an explanation), which is normally what you want when working with Currencies. -- Graeme Geldenhuys There's no place like S34° 03.168' E018° 49.342' _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

[lazarus] Weird crash
Hi all, I'm getting a very weird crash on the latest lazarus. It crashes whenever I start it in a console with 'lazarus' - program starts up - shows an error message dialog (with no content however) and dies. I tried to capture the output with pipes, but suddenly, it stopped crashing. I then tried 'startlazarus' - and the crash also didn't reappear. So basically, whatever it is, it only happens if you run lazarus by itself - and once I used the pipes, it went away altogether - for the life of me I don't know what could be going on here.

It didn't get very far and I haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but there may be missing gtk libraries or other stuff. On my current working system I have just updated svn and compiled, I work with Laz under gtk2 and both builds proceeded without problem. The IDE under gtk after a quick cursory glance seemed ok. Under gtk2 it rebuilt without problem and is now running. With all the 'weirdness' that had been happening and has now disappeared I would say that it was indeed the bug. many thanks neal. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Re: [lazarus] chmhelp's lhelp project can't compile
Which version of lNet did you use before? I looked and don't see TLSocket.Connection used in 0.5 or 0.4 or 0.3.1. You probably cought up some trunk version? In any case, aSocket now has a .Creator property which demotes a TLComponent. All the higher level classes (TLTcp etc.) are TLComponents now. So you can use this, but you will need to cast it to the right one. Hi, Anybody tried to compile the latest lhelp project? I'm using the Lazarus r2 and lnet 0.5 Trying to compile lhelp I keep getting errors about properties that do not exist. For example in the LNetHTTPDataProvider.pas unit it refers to ASocket.Connection all over the place and the .Connection property doesn't exist anymore. Should I try lnet 0.4 maybe? -- Aleš Katona [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Toto je digitálne podpísaná časť správy

My question is: is it possible to do a software that works as a service like that? Do you have any comments/tips to give me about that project? Is there someplace where I can find examples about that with Lazarus so I can choose more clearly? The fpc distribution comes with a deamon.pp example, that could be the complete base frame for your project. Fpc isn't already included into Lazarus? I think so, if you're on windows ... since I'm using stable releases for a long time I can't tell. Or you're talking about installing fpc itself and lazarus in a second moment? Look: $ ls /dos/d/FPC/2.0.4/demo/linux/ Makefile Makefile.fpc daemon.pp epoll-pipe.pas If you replace /dos/d/FPC with the point of your fpc installation, which can be below the lazarus tree, you'll be done. Another thing I want to ask is... How to develop that linux daemon under windows (cross compiling)? I never did, but fpc -Tlinux ... should make it if compiling for i386. Maybe the rtl will need some extra compiling, but for the details other persons have to answer - try conpiling a simple demo that way.

Re: [lazarus] Support for Wince Dialog OK button
All change to WindowProc must compile without problem with any FPC because IDOK and IDCANCEL are also defined in LCLType.pp that take precedence to the one in rtl/wince/wininc/define.inc OK button fully work with current 2.1 FPC. Cancel event IDCANCEL compile now but the cancel button cannot be activated until the new constant SHDB_SHOWCANCEL is include to FPC. At the moment this constant is not used by Lazarus and the event processing in WindowProc is just a convenience for people that want to add this button themself. Patrick
RE: [lazarus] how to debug the lcl
Well spotted. These days such metric gathering should be done lazily and in a way that the metrics can be invalidated and lazily regathered again, such as when theme font sizes change etc. Windowed controls should at least defer such stuff until createwnd time, but I don't know when plain tcontrol should expect to be able to do it. Its not even afe during the first paint as it might not be painting to the screen dc. Maybe tcontrols auto to have a method called when their parent's handle gets created; this wouldn't solve the lazy metrics problem, but would give controls a clear and clean place do do such metric gathering.
