 First column of source editor is too close to right border of gutter. 
If i want select word that begins from first column (eg function or

False alarm :) AV error during TKOLForm creation indicates that you

Because KOL library is used, not LCL :)
KOL is very optimized for smartlinking and code size and have simpler 
internal structure.
Using SysUtils and Classes units are not required for KOL programs. 
Almost all needed stuff can be found in KOL unit directly...
You can learn more info about KOL at original KOL site

I think it could be an good idea to add an second method of formhandling 
to lazarus that generates .pas sources that creates and destroys forms
instead of .lfm and remove all RegisterClass calls from the LCL with an 
#ifdef so fpc can remove ununsed parts of the lcl while linking.
I think than executable size can be nearly the same with lcl. This 
formhandling makes no sense for Desktop Applications but for Mobile Apps.
RTTI is not possible with this but i think nearly nobody needs rtti on 
mobile devices...


What do you think about this idea ?

There was some efforts in past to port KOL to use QT. Even with some 
success.
Also there is some basic GTK support in KOL (Basic things like 
canvas,font,brush. No controls yet).


If someone interested he can try to continue this efforts.

Re: [lazarus] Win32 Lazarus IDE Set Breakpoint minor quibble

2007-10-20 Thread James Chandler Jr

Hi Micha

Valdas explained it perfectly. Here is an illustration:

http://www.errnum.com/tmpimages/LazEditorLineSpacing.png

The amount of white space at the beginning of the line might depend on the font.

Perhaps there are fonts which naturally display 'adequate' white space in this
window.

I usually use old ancient Apple Monaco on both PC and Mac, because it is so easy
to read, but Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is also pretty good.

On both of those fonts, the lines display very close to the gutter.

Thanks

[lazarus] Error when Updgrading to lastest ( 20/10 ) snapshot...

2007-10-20 Thread Dominique Louis

Hi all,
  this is possibly a silly error on my part. I have just updated to the 
latest snapshot version of Lazarus/FPC. When I try and compile my Mac OS 
X project the unit carbonprinters_h.inc is opened and the TCarbonPrinter 
class is highlighted and the console window error message is :
carbonprinters_h.inc(7,3 Fatal : Syntax Error, 'IMPLEMENTATION' 
expected but identifier TCarbonPrinter found


this include file is definitely missing an implementation section.

Btw, what does {%MainUnit ../osprinters.pp} imply? When I looked in that 
 directory all I found was osprinters.pas not osprinters.pp.


FPC compiler is listed as 2.2.1 and the Lazarus editor is listed as 
v0.9.23 beta.

Are you trying to use the osprinters unit? Don't do that. Use the Printers 
and/or PrintersDlgs units or else Lazarus will try to compile osprinters with 
the non-implemented Carbon printer files.

You'll also probably have to put something like this in Other Unit Files path:

$(LazarusDir)/components/printers/lib/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)/

Now Lazarus can find the compiled units.

Thanks.

I'm not specifically trying to to use it. I had a pre-existing project 
that worked fine last night with an older snapshot from about 2 weeks 
ago. Since I wanted the transparency fix I thought I would upgrade to 
the latest snapshop and came across this problem.


I have Printer4Lazarus included in my project file and internally that 
references OsPrinters. Even if I remove the refernce to Printer4Lazarus 
from the project, it still finds OsPrinters, so this must be being 
referenced in some other units as well.


Like I said, this worked flawlessly in the previous snapshot I had and I 
have not changed any code since last night. I simply installed the 
latest snaphop, opened lazarus and tried to compile the same project 
that compiled and ran fine yesterday.



You'll also probably have to put something like this in Other Unit Files path:

$(LazarusDir)/components/printers/lib/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)/


Adding this did not solve the problem.

Gracias Jesus,
  Do you happen to know at roughly what time the snapshots are done?



Look here to see the times, which match the upload time pretty accurate:

Thanks, it took me several week-ends before knowing this. I even installed
Delphi Explorer :(.
Thanks again Jesus!

  Hi all,
  How can I move the focus to specified cell in TStringGrid? Like if
  I have a
  4x4 grid, how do I focus a cell in row 3, column 4.
 
  Regards,
  YH
 

 Try with:

 grid.Row:=2;
 grid.Col:=3;

[lazarus] Building Lazarus for linux-sparc

2007-10-20 Thread Mark Morgan Lloyd
I've got Lazarus 0.9.23 building and generally running for Linux on a SPARC 
system, nothing special needed to be done although there's a few e.g. debugger 
issues that I need to investigate. Underlying FPC is 2.2.0 built from scratch.


Reverting to 0.9.22 make all works without problems, but make bigide is a 
bit more tricky. I had to manually install a missing libc.o file plus a few 
related and had to change a makefile to get dbf.o etc. to build. However, I 
appear to be well and truly stuck with this:


Assembling lazarus
Linking ../lazarus
/usr/local/share/lazarus-0.9.22-1/components/fpcunit/lib/sparc-linux/guitestrunner.o: 
In function `GUITESTRUNNER_init':
guitestrunner.pas:673: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP22 against 
symbol `CLASSES_TCOMPONENT_$___ADDREF$$LONGINT' defined in .text section in 
/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/sparc-linux/rtl/classes.o
guitestrunner.pas:673: relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP22 against 
symbol `CLASSES_TCOMPONENT_$___RELEASE$$LONGINT' defined in .text section in 
/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/sparc-linux/rtl/classes.o

lazarus.pp(114,42) Error: Error while linking
lazarus.pp(114,42) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [lazarus] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/share/lazarus-0.9.22-1/ide'

I've got a horrid feeling that I'm out of my depth with this one, any thoughts 
(or sympathy) would be appreciated.

Re: [lazarus] Close component?

 Hello,
 
 I think this is a bug report, but also a question.
 
 When I start Lazarus and it loads my project, the first thing it does
 often is ask me the following:
 
 Close component?
 Close component FMainForm:TFMainForm?
 
 The bug report is that Lazarus should never ask this question when
 loading a project.
 
 The question is: under what circumstances does this dialog box make 
 any sense?

It should be asked, if you close (i.e. free) a form, that is needed by
another form (e.g. inherited).

Can you give a complete example?

  We're using FOnReadStringProperty from reader.inc to translate the
  string properties, how about TStrings how can this be done?
  
  Ideas please.
 
 First define requirements:
 - Some TStrings should not be translated
 - Some TStrings should be translated line by line 
   (TCombobox, TListBox)
 - Some TStrings should be translated as text (TMemo)
 
 To FPC team:
 Is it possible to use TTranslateStrings = type TStrings?
 I ask because, the compiler allows it, but stops later with a not
 helping message:
 lcl/interfaces/gtk2/interfaces.pas(1,1) Fatal: Compilation aborted

Are there any fpc devs on this list? Should I ask this somewhere else?
