Re: [lazarus] Lazarus IDE revamp

For a short term, for sure Lazarus can be as Delphi 7 like as it wants. There seams to be some confusion here. Lazarus IDE is not a clone of Delphi 7. The current format is what was considered the most productive. Of course it's possible to make changes to it, provided it's agreed they improve the IDE, and there is *no Delphi compatibility pretended on the IDE side*. The LCL library, on the other hand, provides a degree of Delphi compatibility, but that's something separate, and even there isn't a goal of being 100% compatible. We don't provide obsolete properties, for example. We provide extra properties and methods where adequate, etc. Having said that, The Lazarus approach of using native UI sets is a imensely complex one, and is only viable by having a large number of contributors which find and fix bugs. I would say that a fork won't have those resources, at least on the start, and is faded to be defeated by the complexity of the project it is forking, unless someone has a lot of resources to invest on it. Consider that all examples you posted of forks were backed by enterprises or large foundations. I think such goal of thinking independent can be more easely achieved by an independent project, like msegui and fpgui. In case you haven't seen: http://homepage.bluewin.ch/msegui/ http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ Such project has full freedom to do it's own design and can therefore choose a simpler to implement design which makes itself viable.

We have no regrets to this day! One thing I have learned over these three years is that I now distinguish between the Lazarus IDE and the LCL. I start talking about them as separate subjects because they (in my mind) have different goals. In summary * I love the Lazarus IDE. It has plenty of neat features over Delphi 7. It doesn't try to be 100% compatible and can invent new ideas or solutions to problems. * I hate wizards. They are overrated and tend to treat the developer as an idiot! If you want wizards, implement them as separate packages. * I don't like the LCL. To complex design and difficult to maintain the widget layers. You fix one thing and break another. This happens over and over again. Also this is where it differs from the IDE's goals and why I talk about them as separate subjects. LCL has a goal which will only work 'in theory'. LCL is trying to catch a ever moving target and tries to be to much compatible with VCL. It has done a great job so far, but all still a pipe dream as far as I'm concerned. Copycat products (feature-to-feature) will always come in a distant second place to the original product. Also you limit your scope for being creative with new solutions to old problems. This is why I created fpGUI. I'm not trying to be VCL compatible, but also not as radically different as MSEgui. A nice middle ground and it gives me the scope to be creative (if I want) with some design choices. I use Lazarus as my IDE of choice and fpGUI as my widget toolkit. This works beautifully. I also don't mind implementing new features or bug fixes to the IDE. Extending the IDE is great and relatively easy to accomplish. I have no objections in supporting the IDE and have done so over the last three years and will continue to do so in the future.

Re: [lazarus] Carbon TMemo with invisible font
Hi Tom You do great work! Here is a symptom which might be related (or not). Am only mentioning it because this also had an invisible font issue. Am busy in Win32 right now, and will trace the issue further (if it still exists) when I can get back to carbon in a few weeks. I had four TPaintBoxes in a TPanel, which are graphic views for an audio wave display, a location timestrip, a chord strip, and a piano-roll note strip. Not all paintboxes are erased to the same background color at the start of their OnPaint procs. The drawing in all paintboxes is a mixture of lines, rectangles, and text, of various colors. Some Text drawing used transparent mode, and some did not. This multiple TPaintBox in a TPanel would draw correctly in Win32. On Carbon, it appeared that PaintBox canvas properties were somehow 'leaking' into the parent TPanel canvas, and affecting other TPaintBox OnPaints. The symptom was that some text would draw with the canvas background color (of some other paintbox) rather than the current paintbox Font color. This happened even if I would explicitly set TFont properties before each and every TextOut, in each OnPaint proc. If the background of all the TPaintBoxes had been the same, it would have been completely invisible text. But since the background of the most problematic paintbox was clButtonFace, and some other TPaintBoxes had a clWhite background, I was getting white-on-gray text, rather than the desired black-on-gray text. It may have had something to do with the transparent property leaking between canvases. Dunno. I 'fixed' it on the carbon target, by calling Application.processmessages between each of the TCanvas OnPaint procedures. I think this was flushing the screen after each OnPaint and avoiding transparency or some other property from 'leaking' between canvases. But the gratuitous calling of ProcessMessages slows donw the screen update, so it is just a temporary hack. When I can get back to carbon, will send a bug report with example, if the issue remains. Tobias' reported issue seemed similar, I just thought this example might be related. Here is another 'invisible text' issue-- The default size of Win32 TLabel seems vertically smaller by a pixel or two, than the text rectangle which Carbon likes to draw into. If the TLabel has a default background color and font color, it draws the TLabel correctly in spite of the size discrepancy. In that mode, apparently a TLabel is able to 'overdraw' the control bounds and successfully put un-clipped text onscreen. But for instance if the TLabel Color is black, and the TLabel Font color is green (any non-default color combination would probably show the same bug), then all you get is a black square with no text, if the TLabel is not tall enough to fully contain the text. The fix for that issue was to make the TLabel a few pixels taller than the default size for Win32, and then it draws green on black just fine. That is a minor issue. It may be that carbon refuses to draw any text at all in certain modes, if the destination rectangle isn't tall enough. So there may not be a realistic fix. Perhaps if a fix was attempted, it would involve automatically growing the TLabel (or shrinking the TFont) if the Label is too small to contain the text. It is just that such minor issues take time to diagnose/fix, and makes the thing a little less 'cross platform'. But since carbon likes to draw controls more 'spread out' than Win32, it might be that manual form re-spacing is unavoidable labor when moving code from Win32 to carbon. The minor labor of re-spacing a form is so much less than 'writing from scratch' when moving between platforms. jcjr - Original Message - From: Tom Gregorovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Nov 18, 2007 12:15 AM, Tobias Giesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, some change made since last week caused my TMemo to use the same color for the font that is used for the background.

Re: [lazarus] DataAccess components in lazarus 2.9.24
A live CD is one that you put in your CD rive and boot from it; it usually contains a distribution of linux, like Mepis, Ubuntu or Koppix, which gets installed in a RAMDISK and you can run it without involving the computer's hard drive. Good for evaluating software (you can run linux on windows computer, for example) and can also be used to install the operating system. You can download the ISO image from the appropriate website and burn your own CD, or get the CD for a trivial cost from the distributors.

I'm not sure where we are with the SVN revision, but I downloaded 12918 this evening for my laptop and I am using FPC 2.2.0. It crashes on program startup. I am pretty sure this is associated with the LNet components 0.5.8. I was able to make it without this component and it runs fine until I try to install the component.
