Re: [lazarus] Delphi/Lazarus comparison by Codegear
I just read Dephi 7 Pro (I don't have earlier versions installed anymore) license.txt and deploy.txt and it says I can freely distribute my compiled apps, along with some Borland binary files (runtime packages, BDE, Active X Controls) The only restrictions are for some of the runtime packages (Mainly Datasnap and Websnap ) and the BDE SQL links for wich Enterprise is required. Since I never used any of these, I'm Ok. BTW, even the Personal edition has a list (shorter) of redistributable packages.

Re: [lazarus] ToDo List not working in IDE
Hi Graeme, I think I was the last to work on the TODO list. And even if it may sound as a typical programmer excuse, last time I checked it used to work. ;-) You are right, it was working not so long ago, and I checked with 13776 under windows and it doesn't process the TODO entries you submitted. I'll have a look to see what changed. Regards, Gerard.
Re: [lazarus] ToDo List not working in IDE
It seems it doens't even reach that method as it should in the loop from line 570 to 586.
Re: [lazarus] ToDo List not working in IDE
It seems that the function BasicCodeTools.FindNextComment used to get the
comments ignores any comment that starts with '{' not immediatly followed by
a '$' ?
Re: [lazarus] New Docked IDE
Amazing! Is there a chance that we can see this as an option for the IDE? Regards, Gerard.
Re: [lazarus] French translation (suite)
For the word Identifier, it seems Identifiant would be more appropriated, rather than Identificateur. Other colleagues of mine conform it. In fact Identificateur is not the good word, like Programmateur instead of Programmeur for a programer. I think identificateur is right. Both the french wikipedia ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identificateur) and the french dictionary I have at hand (Petit Robert) agree on it. Regards, Gerard.
Re: [lazarus] New Docked IDE
Great. There are times where having everything docked together is much more convenient.
Re: [lazarus] ToDo List not working in IDE
This function (FindNextComment) is only used in
TStandardCodeTool.GetPasDocComments and TodoList. I don't think changing
it's behaviour would break anything.
The fix is as easy as removing the check for the dollar char.
at line 1137:
'{': Exit;
{ if (ResultMaxPos) and (ASource[Result+1]='$') then
exit;}
This makes the todo comments to be processed, but there is an additional
problem because the although they are added to the list, description doesn't
show up.

Re: [lazarus] ToDo List not working in IDE
None of the todo items you submitted follows in the syntax expected by the
parser as it is now.
It's either:
{TODO: x } or {DONE: x }
or
{#todo: xxx xx xx} or {#done: xxx xx xx} or
Optionally, you can add -oX for the owner and -cX for the category.
Regards,
Gerard.

The parser expects a semicolon anyway (#todo: or TODO:), then it works. PS: Maybe we should remove the old comment style from the todo list dialog header comment, to stop confusion? Yes.

[lazarus] How to get transparent images from TImageList?
Hi all, I am writing a little app with Lazarus (SVN 13389) wich has two toolbars with several buttons each. There is an action list with some actions assinged to toolbar buttons, some to main menu items, and some to both. I droped a TImageList, added some 16X16 pixels bitmaps with a fuchsia background , and assigned the image list to the toolbar and menus, and each image index to the buttons and menu items. At design-time, when I first open the Imagelist dialog, the bitmaps disappear from buttons and menu items. Closing Lazarus and starting it again, and the bitmaps show up again. That's anoying, but I can live with that. The problem is that the images show up with the fuchsia background. I think I have tried all the possible combinations of bkColor, BlendColor, DrawingStyle, etc.. for the imagelist, but there is no way to have transparency. I loaded one more bitmap with a white background, and with bkColor and BlendColor set to clWhite, it works. Any hints? Regards, Gerard.
Re: A Lazarus IDE challenge
Hi Graeme, are you aware of the licensing issues? See: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/11/21/licensing-the-2007-microsoft-office-user-interface.aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa973809.aspx It seems that they changed their mind and now it's royalty free but you still have to sign the license, wich can change at any moment at Microsoft will. I wouldn't loose a minute implementing this thing, and if everybody does the same maybe they'll get the message and start behaving ;-)

Re: [lazarus] Status of visual form inheritance
Hi Mattias, It's basically working. Cool. Missing features: - When descendant and ancestor forms are designed at the same time in the IDE and ancestor is changed: apply changes to descendants Would be nice, but for the moment I can live without that. If closing the descendants and reopening them later works, it's Ok. - Creating a new unit template of a form. At the moment you have to create a new form, close the designer form and change the ancestor in source. It seems to be working without touching the .lfm, right? The descendant lfm is automagically changed by setting the ancestor in the source code declaration, wich is way cooler than Delphi.

Re: [lazarus] Enhanced TODO list patch
Hi Graeme,
OK, so here is my wish list which should make it useful for me.
* Search the current open projects source, including .inc files
for ToDo, TODO, #todo tags. It must support multiple tag formats
and maybe have a developer pick their preferred format (see later why)
Works in my patch with #todo and TODO. Adding ToDo is trivial, but
then maybe it should be todo in any case combination?.
My patch also supports #done and DONE
* Support a category tag. Can't remember how Delphi specified this.
It was something like the following:
{ TODO: Fix year-end calculation. -c Accounting }
It was -cAccounting. Done in my patch.
I also added Delphi's -oOwner tag
* Support a priority tag (1-9): eg: { #todo This must be fixed urgently.
-1 }
Done.
* Show them in a list.
Already works
* List must be sortable by: Unit name, Description, Category and Priority
This would be great. It's quite doable, but I don't have a clue about
how to paint the sort arrows in the column headers in a way that works
on any platform.
The list could have a filtering option, also.
* Double clicking a item must close the Todo list window and take you to
the location in the source unit.
Works.
* ToDo items must be editable from the todo list screen. A simple little
edit dialog for entering a optional category, optional priority and
description
Would be nice, also to switch from Todo to Done. This is a little bit
more tricky. I guess I'd have to load the source in an editor and
change the Todo item?
* A nice to have (though not urgent and not even sure if needed) would
be to have some editor keyboard shortcut to bring up a todo list edit
item dialog. So while you are coding and want to insert a item
press the shortcut; fill in the details and press enter to close. The
source code would then have the item inserted in the correct format,
using the developers preferred todo tag format.
Amen. The only trick with Enter is that when the memo has focus, it
naturally eats Enter keys, but I agree that there should be a quick
way to validate the entry (Very annoying under D7, you have to grab
your mouse or tab until you get to the ok button).
I would add:
- Printing (If this is available from the IDE) or at least exporting
the list to text or HTML.
Regards,
Gerard.

Re: [lazarus] Enhanced TODO list patch
Hi Mattias, So forget for a moment the existing implementation and write what a good ToDo List dialog should do. See my replies to Graeme wish list, I think it covers pretty much what a Todo List should do. I'm not sure what the scope of the list should be, but I think there should be an option to exclude the LCL sources.

Re: [lazarus] Enhanced TODO list patch
Mattias, Is there a way to discriminate between used units on a package basis? If so, one UI solution could be to put a small treeview on the left of the list form, with a source code structure like: +- MyProject.lpi | +- MyUnit1.pas +- MyUnit2.pas +- LCL +- FCL With the current project only selected as a default, it would faster to load, and switching to the rest of the source could be faster than using a dialog. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Re: [lazarus] Enhanced TODO list patch
Hi, 1. Can you create a patch? See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Creating_A_Patch Sure. 2. Don't use implementation uses sections in the IDE. Ok. 3. Don't load source files from disk. Always use CodeToolBoss.LoadFile(CleanAndExpandFilename(Filename),true,false). Ok, I'll correct this. (I didn't touch this). 4. Why only for the project directory? Sheer ignorance of any alternative method. 5. Why not use the existing functions to get all units and include files of projects/packages? See above. Do you mean to parse all the units used by a project including the LCL? 6. Why not use the existing comment parsing code? It is faster and not limited to single line comments. Any hint on how to do this? More in general, can you point me to a some high level description of the IDE structure and services? Maybe you can describe, what todos the ToDo dialog should maintain? Any Todo displayed by the list? I'm sorry but I think I don't understand the question. BTW, I'm not the original author of the Todo list/Add Todo Item dialog, I just added some functionality, so it's hard for me to answer questions about the design of these.
