[fpc-pascal]sendkeys with gtk binding

2004-03-14 Thread Marc Santhoff 
Hi!

I'm trying to put some key event in the general message queue of an
application. Think of simulating key presses. Some keypresses should be
sent to the window and appear in the focussed widget.

On windows there is (or at least was years ago) the sendkeys()
function. Does the fcl or gdk/gtk-binding offer similar possibilities?

Until now i found the function gtk_signal_emit, but it only does
trigger registered events ... I'm stuck.

Maybe this is more a gdk-qestion, but since I'm using fpc to write it I
dare to ask here.

Bye,
Marc

This is actually a Visual Basic function :-)

No. SendKeys() works by grace of sending windows messages to a window
handle. You would need to find the right window handle and send an X event
to it. But to my knowledge, GDK doesn't offer this possibility. I'm not an
expert, though.

I don't think that you should look at the GTK level, but at the GDK level.
Or even the X level.

Michael.

 You're right. In the GDK docs i found gdk_event_put which should do. I
 did not have such nice access violation errors for a long time. =:-()
 But it seems to be a lack of documentation.

In fact the right function is: gtk_propagate_event()

This does work as expected. The only thing to mention is that the focus
has to be at the receiving widget.

Marc

[fpc-pascal]TStringList index

2004-03-14 Thread Taj Morton 
Hi all,
This code has been driving me nuts for the past week.
  IDs:=TStringList.Create;
  for i:=0 to Datab.List_Field.Count-1 do
  begin
 Tmp:=TStringList(Datab.List_Field.items[i]);
 IDs.Strings[i]:=Tmp.Strings[0];
 Tmp.Free;
  end;

It crashes with 
An unhandled exception occurred at 0x08062FE5 :
ESTRINGLISTERROR : List index exceeds bounds (0)
  0x08062FE5

Datab.List_Field.Count-1=18. It appears that IDs is not letting me write to 
item i. Any ideas?
Thanks, Taj

Hi Vincent,

 Instead do:
IDs.Add(Tmp.Strings[0]);
Aha! Thank you!

IDs.Strings[i] its not allocated, try
IDs.Add(Tmp.Strings[0]) instead

[fpc-pascal]Developers needed (interested?)

2004-03-14 Thread James Mills 
Hi,

We (currently two people, myself a uni student doing Software
Engineering and Jeremy a great graphics designer) are planning on
developing a multi-player strategy game. Based on some games we've all
known to love and hate, but simple enough to have fun!

We are at early stages of designing and will need further people to help
out with various phases of the project. This is entirely voluntary, and
any support we receive will be appreciated.

This game will of course be released into the Open Source community.

For further information please visit the temporary wiki namespace
created at http://wiki.shortcircuit.net.au/SAF/
The current name is temporary only and may change...

If you would like to help out and join the project team, please email
either:
James Mills (myself) - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or
Jeremy Whyatt - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you for taking an interest :)

cheers
James
