Re: [lazarus] Converting Unicode to ANSI
George Birbilis schreef:
I had such dificulties lately trying to manage Unicode texts.
List members guided me to use UTF...* set of functions to

high skilled programmer but because I mostly deal with such
texts (it is Greek you see) I may think something.
If it is on Windows visual component should support Unicode,
your code may have no problem. There are available such
components. If it is on Linux, I think you have to compile
with gtk2 in order to get Unicode support. In any case font
used should also support alphabets used in text.
* you can use UTF8Copy() instead of Copy(), UTF8Pos instead
of Pos() etc. This set of functions is implemented in lclproc.
Btw, have you seen
http://mh-nexus.de/unisynedit.htm
It says:
Unicode support for WindowsLinux without depending on any additional
library or component package.
Added new unit SynUnicode.pas that contains Unicode versions of often used
string-functions.
It's TWideStrings TWideStringsList-classes were taken from JCL, adapted to
be cross-plattform and generate smaller executables.
Not sure if this has progressed, but maybe Lazarus should follow that branch
of SynEdit in the future, or fix that too to work with Lazarus if it doesn't
(is there any doc of the fixes done to SynEdit [maybe some Diff between the
Lazarus SynEdit and SynEdit1.1] to support Lazarus?)
Every change the lazarus team made to the source code is in {$IFDEF
SYN_LAZARUS}.
Do a find in files, to see the changes.

Hi,
Anybody using Qt widget set. Can you confirm the button order in
dialogs (referring to Help, OK and Cancel buttons).
As far as I can tell this is what I have...
Win32:Help, OK, Cancel
Gnome, GTK1, GTK2: Help, Cancel, OK
Qt: Help, OK, Cancel
Currently the TButtonPanel only looks for {$IFDEF Unix} and {$ELSE}
which I guess means MSWindows. This wouldn't work for the Qt widget
set?
Qt 4.2 now has a QDialogButtonBox which does the same, but they
mention Desktop Environments instead of OS Environments, due the Gnome
and KDE both being able to run on a *unix OS, but their button orders
differ.
Anybody got an idea how we can change the TButtonPanel to check the
Desktop Environment (widget set) instead of the OS?
I think TWidgetSet should have a method for the default button order.
Specific widget sets can override that method for their specific order.

I see that this little application is doing exactly what is missing

this is not the same under all OS. But I see no major reasons not to
include this piece of code directly inside Project - Project Options.
The same information could be used in other projects; like on linux.
.desktop files could be created with information about where to find
the icon, program information, etc.
This is not because Windows is the only OS that put it all in the same
file that we can't do nothing about it on other OS.
In fact, Free Pascal suppprts including Windows resources in the binary
on all ELF platforms (e.g. linux). The fpcres program does exactly that.
{$R somefile.res}
will include the resource file in the binary. This feature is enabled even
in the fixes branch.
In fact, Lazarus could switch now to using this for including form files.
This would drastically reduce the memory requirements of all Lazarus
applications.

Now you have ALL the forms stored in strings in heap memory (with all
the overhead that implies), as well as in the binary. Thus, they are
in memory twice.
Storing them in the resources would mean they are stored only in the binary.
Thanks for the explanation, Marc, Mattias and Michael.
So the executable size will be the same (maybe slightly (negligible) bigger, because
string constants can be stored without lookup tables in the binary and a resources
might need some lookup tables). But the memory use is smaller, because the constants
don't have to be loaded into memory.
Sounds attractive.

You are forgetting that bitmaps contain no information about

yourself. In this case it will be a color. All pixels with that color
will be transparent.
Try:
bmp := TBitmap.Create;
bmp.LoadFromFile('x.bmp');
bmp.Transparent := True;
bmp.TransparentColor := clFuchsia; // Insert color here
glyph.Assign(bmp);
I don't know if this piece of code works, but xpm files do contain
transparency information: one of the possible colors of a pixel is
clNone, which means transparent. bmp files don't contain transparency
information.

Another chicken and egg situation. The xmlreporter unit was added
to Lazarus. Dean Zobec then asked that we get as many fpcUnit patches
as possible into the 2.0.4 FPC release. I added xmlreporter.pas into
FPC as well, which is why this error occurs when you use the latest
2.0.3 FPC compiler.
I did not forget about that unit in Lazarus. My thought was - as soon
as FPC 2.0.4 was released, I was going to submit a patch to remove the
xmlreporter.pas unit from Lazarus.
Any better way we can handle this?
It works fine (as far as I can remember) if you use FPC 2.0.2 and the
latest Lazarus (from SVN).
So, it works with fpc 2.0.2 only, but not with fpc 2.0.3 (head), fpc 2.0.4-rc3, fpc
2.1.1 (head)?
Seems like a bad trade-off to me.
I would remove this unit from the Lazarus SVN, and add a {$IFDEF 2.0.2}{DEFINE
UseOldXML}{$ENDIF} were necessary.

Bugs like the sqldb-bug should already be found before we start building release candidates. Woudln't be using svn equally useful for the developers? I don't like snapshots: they are big compared to a 'svn up' . When trying development versions i'd rather go all the way and use svn . I would say more useful to the developers, because it easier for you to create patches using svn than using snapshots.

Re: [lazarus] Win32 Unicode: A KeyPress Problem
Borut Maricic schreef: However, what puzzles me additionaly in this context is the view from a programmer (non LCL-developing people) perspective: a component such as TEdit has an event: procedure TForm1.Edit1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char); Shouldn't this be changed to something like procedure TForm1.Edit1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: TUTF8Char); TUTF8Char being a String[7] or similar, in order that on all platforms the programming model is the same. If one has to expect here a character converted to a particular one byte encoding (current or particular CP) the whole effort of Unicode enabling is undermined, IMHO. How is - for instance - this event defined and used on Linux systems built up on UTF8? A TEdit has a OnUTF8KeyPress event, it is not yet published in the object inspector, because it is only supported using the gtk interface.

Maybe I cannot explain well because of my poor english :-(
But I will give another try.
If you choose for APPType GUI or compile with -WG (a windows feature, there is no
equivalent in linux), the stdout of the application is closed. Therefore nothing can
be written to stdout of the debuggee and nothing is seen on gdb stdout's and
therefore nothing is seen on IDE Debug output.
If you want to be able to writeln (or debugln to stdout) in Windows, you have to set
AppType to console (Linux has no apptype support and its (only) apptype could be
regarded as console). If you do a writeln or a debugln when the AppType is console,
the text is written to stdout. Gdb has passed its stdout handle to your app (the
debugee) and therefore text written to stdout, will be written to gdb's stdout,
which is shown in the IDE Debug output.

I fixed the painting of the marks and line numbers. I think the line number of a folder region should be the number of the first line, atm it shows the number of the last line. For example I fold a region from line 503 to 511. The line with the + now has line number 551, it should be 503.

Re: Lazarus bug report
[EMAIL PROTECTED] schreef: Hello, I discovered a bug in Lazarus because of which I must give up writing my program in it, so I'd like to report it. Im writing to you because I can't register an account on Lazarus site. What problems do you have with regisitering on the Lazarus site or the bug tracker? Did you follow http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/How_do_I_create_a_bug_report ? Where couldn't you follow this recipe? The bug is: When I send a message from a dll to my form the overriden WndProc is not called, for example: IN DLL: ... if notifyTestForm then begin PostMessage(FindWindow(nil, 'window_caption), SwfpMessage, MsgID, 1) ; end; ... IN MY WINDOW: procedure TSwiftPanelForm1.WndProc(var Message: TMessage); begin Windows.Beep(1000,5); if Message.Msg = Mdetect.SwfpMessage then begin (* do something *) end; inherited WndProc(Message); end; The message is sent correctly and is picked up by Winspector (which is spying on my window messages) The beeps can be heard when I move the mouse over the window, for example, but not when my message is sent. I tried the same code with Turbo Delphi and it works. It certainly is a difference in behaviour. I don't know why it doesn't work. I also ran into theese: - the window class name is not set to its class but to window and there is no way to change it. In Delphi the window class name is automaticaly set to its class. Yes, delphi implements creating windows different than Lazarus. There is no specific reason create different window classes and therefore the win32 widget of Lazarus doesn't do so. - This could be set by overriding the Form_name.CreateParams function, but this cannot be done, and it can be in Delphi. In autocomplete the CreateParams function is shown, but when I declare the override it sais no function to override and it's parameter type (TCreateParams) is unknown AFAIK OnCreateParams function is nowher called. It seems only possible useful in for the win32 widgetset and cannot be used on other widgetsets. - No OnMessage function I don't know what is does. I think Lazarus is great, but there are still problems under Windows. Because of theese bugs, for exapmle, I cannot send messages between windows at all. Is this by design, or you'll try to fix it? I don't know if it is by design. I don't think I can fix this. Vincent CC: to the mailing list. Others might be interested in it too, or can elaborate. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Where couldn't you follow this recipe? I had an account there but I forgot the password. Yesterday I tried recover lost password and I don't receive an e-mail, I tried registering then 2 different usernames and 2 different e-mails, but didn't get the e-mails (in 10 hours). That is probably for the forums on www.lazarus.freepascal.org. Michael Hess, can you look at these problems? For the bug tracker you need to be at www.freepascal.org and it has a different account. *** I'll post it when I register, promisse. Ok, some of theese are not bugs, but for cross-platform compat. But this WndProc behaviour is, I think. There must be a way for a window to receive a message from another window. Windows are widget things. The LCL is about controls. I was trying that all day yesterday: WndProc does't work, and I searched then for something else and found OnMessage and another HookMainWindow which could do it but theese are not in Lazarus. And the use of window class names is in sending the messages, the API FindWindow(ClassName, Caption) returns a window handle by searching for window class name or caption. Like here: These are winapi calls, for which the LCL probably won't give you an http://delphi.about.com/b/a/234306.htm OnMessage: -- Occurs when the application receives a Windows message. type TMessageEvent = procedure (var Msg: TMsg; var Handled: Boolean) of object; property OnMessage: TMessageEvent; Description Use OnMessage to trap any or all Windows messages posted to all windows in the application. The OnMessage event occurs when an application receives a Windows message. An OnMessage event handler allows an application to respond to messages other than those declared in the events for TApplication. If the application doesn't have a specific handler for an incoming message, the message is dispatched to the window for which it was intended, and Windows handles the message. The TMessageEvent type is the type of the OnMessage event. The Msg parameter identifies the Windows message, and the Handled parameter indicates whether the event handler responded to the message. Set Handled to True if the message has been completely handled, to prevent subsequent processing of the message. HookMainWindow -- Enables a non-VCL dialog box to receive messages sent to the application#8217;s main window. procedure HookMainWindow(Hook: TWindowHook); Description Use HookMainWindow to ensure that a non-VCL dialog box behaves correctly as a child of the application, not as a stand-alone window. For example, switching among applications with Alt+Tab treats the application as a single task after calling HookMainWindow, rather than treating the non-VCL dialog box as a separate task. When the window identified by the Handle property receives relevant dialog messages, it passes them to the dialog procedure passed as the Hook parameter. There is no problem with leaving a dialog box hooked into the main window, even for extended periods. However, should the dialog box close, call the UnhookMainWindow method to release the hook. Too low level too, and not portable enough. So changes that these methods are going to be implemented is low. Vincent P.S.
