You have to wait for it's development team to fix bugs, and the most important is that if the team takes a different path (or vanishes), you will have to jump to another compiler to keep on track, maybe a compiler for another language as it is the case with Pascal.

[lazarus] Behavior of ClientToScreen in scrolling windows across different widget sets
While debugging scrolling bugs in LCL i found that ClientToScreen acts
differently according to the widget set.
These are the behaviors:
1) The returned value is related to the actual position, i.e., it does
not consider the scroll offset. If you pass Point(0,0) the value will be
the same regardless of the scroll position. (Gtk1)
2) The returned value is related to the virtual position, i.e, it takes
into account the scroll offset. If you pass Point(0, 0) the value
changes inversely to scrollbar position. (Gtk2)
3) The returned value is related to the virtual position, i.e, it takes
into account the scroll offset. If you pass Point(0, 0) the value
changes the same amount of scrollbar position. (Win32)
4) Nothing. Qt has no visible scrollbars so...
Notes:
Delphi does the same as (1)/Gtk1
(3) is clearly buggy.
Between (1) and (2) is a design decision.
Attached is a patch that makes win32 acts like (2)/gtk2. It changes the
offset signal when calculating the LCL bounds. With the change it
becomes consistent with the TCustomGroupBox signal convention (LCL
bounds at Right/Down of win32 +, at Left/Up -).
It also fixes the scrolling paint and setcursor of non TWincontrol.

It does, in so far as the parameter specs are now retained, but now the
database property of sqlquery is not read, so it still can't work
properly. In fact, I can't even set the database from the Lazarus
object inspector.
Huh? Are you sure? Did you recompile everything correclty?
You won't often catch me saying Yes I am *sure* I compiled everything
correctly ! I think I did, though.
Quick test is to add a new writeln, see if it is triggered. If so you
have rebuild it properly.
This is my version of set database:
It doesn't contain a call to Inherited.SetDatabase. I think that that is
your problem now.
procedure TCustomSQLQuery.SetDatabase(Value : TDatabase);
var db : tsqlconnection;
begin
if (Database Value) then
begin
{$IFDEF DBDEBUG}
if dbdbgOn then
Writeln(dbdbg, 'TCustomSQLQuery.database is being set to ',
Value.DatabaseName, '.');
{$ENDIF}
if assigned(value) and not (Value is TSQLConnection) then
DatabaseErrorFmt(SErrNotASQLConnection,[value.Name],self);
Add ' inherited setdatabase(value);'
if not (csLoading in ComponentState) then
begin
UnPrepare;
if assigned(FCursor) then
TSQLConnection(DataBase).DeAllocateCursorHandle(FCursor);
db := TSQLConnection(Value);
if assigned(value) and (Transaction = nil) and
(Assigned(db.Transaction)) then
transaction := Db.Transaction;
{$IFDEF DBDEBUG}
if dbdbgOn then
Writeln(dbdbg, 'Calling TCustomSQLQuery.OnChangeSQL because ',
'TCustomSQLQuery.database has been set to ',
Value.DatabaseName, '.');
{$ENDIF}
OnChangeSQL(Self);
end;
end;

YES! It works!
I was tempted to write down the details of my adventures and why it took
so long to get to this point, but I guess that will just bore everyone.
Suffice to say that most were about learning to use the SVN environment,
and not much to do with the above problem. I think I may have achieved
a functioning SVN environment now.
So now I have the parameter query opening when the form opens, and also
have a master/client link between two sqlqueries, without requiring
code. (Previously I always seemed to need an 'AfterScroll' handler to
get it to work).
I will see what further trouble I can get into.
Thanks,
John Sunderland

Re: [lazarus] GamePack 1.0 Released
I downloaded and installed the components fine. However, when trying to load the demo project, the IDE hangs and eats up 50% CPU. End Task'ing the lazarus process in Windows is necessary at that point. Is this only linux/gtk? Or is Win32 supported? Hi Lee, It's definitely meant to be a multiplatform suite. You seem to have discovered a win32 specific bug. Since I only use native components that means that it must be something the w32 widget set does different. Logically - only visual components could have issues with widget set implementations. That limits it to TDoubleBuffer. The only part of TDoubleBuffer that is active during design is the paint method - so it seems win32 isn't handling that right. Please try the following for me (I have no access to a windows machine for a while) Fine the lines in doublebuffer.pas that read: if csDesigning in ComponentState then Self.Canvas.CopyRect(rect(0,0,width,height),FBackground.BitMap.Canvas,rect(0,0,width,height)); And comment them out. This will have no impact on running programs, it will just prevent the background from being visible at designtime - but it may solve your problem. Please let me know if it does, so I can update the code on my side (I would use an IFDEF I imagine). Win32 experts: If this works, how SHOULD I do it instead ?

Re: [lazarus] Behavior of ClientToScreen in scrolling windows across different widget sets
Luiz Americo Pereira Camara пишет: While debugging scrolling bugs in LCL i found that ClientToScreen acts differently according to the widget set. These are the behaviors: 1) The returned value is related to the actual position, i.e., it does not consider the scroll offset. If you pass Point(0,0) the value will be the same regardless of the scroll position. (Gtk1) 2) The returned value is related to the virtual position, i.e, it takes into account the scroll offset. If you pass Point(0, 0) the value changes inversely to scrollbar position. (Gtk2) 3) The returned value is related to the virtual position, i.e, it takes into account the scroll offset. If you pass Point(0, 0) the value changes the same amount of scrollbar position. (Win32) 4) Nothing. Qt has no visible scrollbars so... Notes: Delphi does the same as (1)/Gtk1 (3) is clearly buggy. Between (1) and (2) is a design decision. Attached is a patch that makes win32 acts like (2)/gtk2. It changes the offset signal when calculating the LCL bounds. With the change it becomes consistent with the TCustomGroupBox signal convention (LCL bounds at Right/Down of win32 +, at Left/Up -). It also fixes the scrolling paint and setcursor of non TWincontrol. Thanks for patch. I changed things to repair GetClientBounds in r12351 and probably this caused errors after. I will look at scrolling before and after your patch and commit it if behaviour will be better.
