Re: [Lazarus] Terminal window

Re: [Lazarus] How to install local copy of RTL/FCL/LCL documentation (from CCR)?
You can get a (nearly!) nightly build of all the html docs at ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/ There will be a file called fpc-lazarus-doc-html-20080902.tar.bz2 (It's actually a couple of weeks since it was last updated - the numbers obviously give the date, but when all is working correctly it happens almost nightly).

Please tell us more! I'd love to know how we can do this. Any wiki page that exists on how to do this? :-) This has been is v0.9.25 (svn trunk) for some time now. Lazarus automatically finds the LCL documentation. I think it does for RTL as well (Mattias?). For external packages (*.lpk) like tiopf.lpk or fpgui_toolkit.lpk you do the following: * Open the xxx.lpk package * Click Options | IDE Integration and then fill in the path(s) to the *.xml docs in the FPDoc file paths edit box. Now if you hover the mouse over something like TfpgWindow (a window class, part of fpGUI Toolkit), a tooltip will appear containing the help defined in the *.xml files. :-) An awesome feature in Lazarus!!

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus icon on desktop has lost its cheetah icon (replaced with paper page icon).

Hi All,
This is only a minor bug... but it's annoying. Previously, when I was
using Lazarus 0.9.24 beta (weeks ago now) I had Lazarus in my Kmenu /
Development menu with a cheetah icon. Now, after following Mattias's
instructions (a few weeks back) I have Lazarus 0.9.25 beta installed
{thank you, Mattias :-) } and it seems to be working pretty well.
However, the kmenu / Development / Lazarus programming language menu
item (both in the kmenu the link on my desktop) have lost the
cheetah icon and instead they display a very boring icon which looks
a bit like a white piece of paper. (see attached file... it was
created from doing a snapshot of my screen then cropping out the
appropriate section with The GIMP -- temp1.jpg -- 8K in size)
This is the default icon of your distribution.
The cheetah icon is lazarus/images/ide_icon48x48.png.
Note that I don't think this is a Lazarus bug... it seems to be a
Linux Kubuntu 4.0 problem, as I've had this happen with other kmenu /
menu items. E.g. the real icon is lost and replaced with this boring
paper page icon.
In a related question: I used to use Mirco$oft Windowz (many different
versions) for a long time. One feature of Windowz which I did quite
like is that if you created what Windowz called a 'shortcut' then you
could edit its properties and click on the 'change icon' link and
pick any .ico file (e.g. a icon file) and when you applied the
change... presto... your shortcut had a new icon. What is the Kubuntu
equivalent of doing this?!? Note: because I don't feel very
comfortable with the command line in Kubuntu I would prefer to
use a program in Kubuntu for changing the icons which has a GUI
interface. ;-)
I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 4.0... if that helps. I can provide
additional system specs as requested. *SMILE*
I don't know kubuntu.

Right click on desktop icon.
Select properties.
Click on 'boring' icon
In 'select icon' dialog click on 'other icons', then browse to find the
icon you want (eg the one specified by Matthias. Select it and you
should see the picture you want on the desktop.

Hi All,
I have a few questions about Lazarus, in particular for my OS, Linux
Ubuntu 8.04 { Hardy Heron }:
(1) Does Lazarus (or should I say Free Pascal) support Virtual
Keycodes e.g. constants for keyboard trapping events etc.
Maybe: see the VK_ constants in the LCLType unit:
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/lcltype/index-2.html
(3) Is there available an off-line or internet based help file/system
for language reference. Note: I would prefer an off-line help system as
opposed to an internet based one.

Re: [Lazarus] Bug using Lazarus under KDE (minimizing)

Every time I switch desktops and return to the desktop that is running Lazarus, all the Lazarus windows are minimized. That's 5-7 windows I have to restore one by one, every time!! I have experienced this problem in KDE, too (using Lazarus with GTK2). It's annoying, but you don't have to restore all the windows one at a time: right-click on the Lazarus icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and you are offered a number of options including 'Restore all'.
