I am using Window 98 SE, and yes I rebooted between each install. Even 
compiling Lazarus from source and running the newly compiled version 
gives me this error. It must be something in the registry that is 
forcing it to load some bitmaps it can not find. Before every 
instalation I am completely deleting the directory of the old instalation.



I have got no further hints, sorry.

Hi Micha,

I am experiencing the same problem, same platform, did you find a solution?

Regards,

John

Ok, set colours to  256 and lazarus works fine! (did not have the same 
problem on Linux!)


Quick question, why do I see a 'dos-box' when running a lazarus built 
app. on win98?


Cheers,

John

Did you include {$APPTYPE Console} ?

I don't experience this on Windows 98.

Felipe


I've just installed Lazarus on a Win98 box.

Build All on the example\imageviewer\imgview. When I double click the 
imgview.exe in win explorer I get the app. but also a dos box.


I have not use laz on windoze, this is my first try out. I'm asking 
questions that would probably apply to any 'newbie'.


afaik, doesn't the {$APPTYPE Console} directive make an app. a non-gui app.?

Cheers,

John

I'm not sure if APPTYPE Console prohibits GUI, but I do know that it

it...


thanks,

Ah, thanks for the info! I am using laz 0.9.10 (0.9.10-20051002 
binaries). Later versions may have solved this. I will try them now that 
I know it can work.


'All' I need to do now is port an app. from Delphi to Lazarus, Win32 to 
Linux and all will be well with the world :-)


again, thanks.

regards,

John

Just to re-iterate,

Project-Compiler Options-Linking(4th tab)-Win32 gui application(-WG) 
checkbox needs to be checked to NOT show a dos-box when running a 
lazarus app.


Good luck to all you FOSS hackers,

JJ

[lazarus] Embedded Mozilla

[John Jewitt]

Hi all,

I've written a Delphi 3 application that uses Active X to control MS IE 
from within a form.


I'd like to port it to Lazarus/Linux/Mozilla but I am unsure where to 
start.


I've looked at gtkmozembed on the Mozilla site but it has not helped 
much as I'm unsure how to use a GTK widget within Lazarus.


Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Regards

John
