Re: [Lazarus] IDE UI consolidation (was: Re: lfm as pascal)
Alexander Klenin wrote: If there is a general agreement, I can prepare detailed proposal for consolidation, but as a quick sketch: 1) Find procedure should be merged into Code explorer What is Find procedure? But since I dont use it I am not against :) 2) Find in files, Messages and Code observer should be merged together, with interface most resembling Find in files Code observer shows IDE hints which IDE builds on the fly. Messages appeared only after some actions mostly with compiler. Find in files is also not a process which IDE do without demand. It is difficult to imagine how you want to combine them together. If you want to just add tabs to the Messages window then I am not againts. But maybe just better to dock Code explorer window into source editor? Then you will see Code observer all the time. 3) Unit list (Ctrl+F12) should be merged into Project Inspector How? If you want to remove Ctrl+F12 then I'm againts this change. We all used to it. If you want to extend Project Inspector then it is ok. 4) Find unused units should be merged into Unit dependencies It is a good idea. Generally speaking consolidation idea is not bad. But each case should be discussed. Some cases can be coverted by docking (for example code explorer + source editor), some by merging dialogs (for example compiler options + project options). Please create a wiki page. After few revisions it can become a part of roadmap.

Third, this same argument can be applied to Fromat, write/writeln and other functions already present on ignore list. 1. Later sring and numeric consts will be split between 2 parent nodes. 2.

IDE can try to write manifest, icon and version information to the .rc

manifest resource compiling by GoRc. Previous format was compatible only
with windres.
If you update your lazarus after today commits and will have problems

Re: [Lazarus] Drag, Dock and Layout
does it miss? Have you seen TLazDockTree class? Therefore I'd suggest a separation of any but the abstract TDockManager from the Controls unit, eliminating the need for a rebuild of the IDE after every change to the Controls unit. It also will show up the undocumented dependencies between controls, messages, and the code that implements the details of dragging and docking. I'm willing to perform that separation myself, if no official developer is willing to do so - but I'm not willing to spend much time when afterwards the new structure doesn't become part of the trunk. Dont see why it will not be commited if you improve current code and break nothing? Lazarus and LCL is always open for improvements.

Re: [Lazarus] Information about Docking
Hans-Peter Diettrich wrote:
I've been looking at the docking feature(s) of Lazarus, and would like
to know more about the current implementation. Where should I look for?
At the ldocktree.pas unit and ofcource controls.pp.
One of the most important question is about the general overview of the
docking concept, from the technical point of view. I assume that there
must exist one application-wide manager (singleton?), that manages all
the related windows?
Does there exist another docking manager, apart from anchor docking?
Yes, TLazDockTree.
With sample code?
Use any delphi example.
IMO anchor docking is a nice idea, but not very useful in practice. What
will happen to such a (spiral...) layout, when the container form is
resized? Not to mention other possible and existing problems...
We have plans to use it in the IDE mostly.
What I want to achieve and contribute:
- Docking by dragdrop, at least for Windows and Linux. A proof of
concept in the first place, I've been warned ;-)
You can start with simple docking. You need to add ldocktree.pas into
any of your uses sections to change DockManager class from dummy to
working. Then create a delphi like example and start to play with it.
Most of things will work on windows. Drag/Dock will not work on linux
because we cannot know when user start drag a window. Window title is
owned by a window manager and gtk/qt does not report us about this
event. Thus the first thing to implement is a special dock header which
will be used on systems which cannot report us about titlebar drag.
Nobody looked at docking on OSX.
- Old fashion (orthogonal/notebook) docking - if not yet implemented?
Implemented but it was so long ago when I checked it.
- Multiple editor windows and related explorers. This was my first idea,
that lead me straight to the docking problems.
This can be done when all docking will 100% work on simple applications.
And Mattias had an idea to use anchor docking.
You can even try how it works in IDE. Open your
lazarus\ide\include\ide.inc file and add there:
{$define EnableIDEDocking}
Then recompile your IDE.
Which Lazarus revision (trunk/tag) should I use for my first steps?
I also think that I must create my own (local) repository, so that I can
share my modifications across various platforms (VM's). Any better idea?
Always use svn version if you want to send us patches. Get it here:

Re: [Lazarus] PageControl color
Benito van der Zander wrote: Hi, if you enable theming in Windows XP the background color of a TPageControl changes from gray (clBtnFace) to white (is this clWhite or a system color?). The problem is now, that a TTrackBar or a TStringGrid always draw there background as clBtnFace, which looks quite stranges on a white background. So how do you set the correct color? if ThemeServices.ThemesEnabled then TrackBar1.Color:=clWhite; seems to work on xp, but assumes of curse that the themed color is always white. TTrackBar is a windows common control. We need to correct win32 widgetset code to let it draw transparently on parent controls if themes are enabled. Feel free to create a patch which solves this problem. TStringGrid is a control which LCL draws itself. We need to use more themes painting to make it look more native. This can be done later. And, btw, color is not clWhite - theme services are using bitmaps to draw control surfaces. If you change theme to another it can look as Blue or Black or as any other color.

Re: [Lazarus] Mac OS X : Drag and Drop no longer works with TDragObject....
Dominique Louis wrote: I notice that in the OnDragOver event Source no longer contains a TDragObject, but instead contains the actual TObject instance being dragged. 1. When was this changed and why? during 0.9.25 becuase of bug report and because it is now delphi compatible 2. Will this now remain the way it is for the forseeable future or is it likely to change back to TDragObject? it will stay so if we want delphi compatibility The reason why I ask is that, drag and drop code that was working fine 6 months ago, no longer works, so I'm just trying to get an idea of how much this code is likely to change in the next 2 months. To be sure what you get you can check: if Source is TDragObject then .. else ...

Re: [Lazarus] Dear developers, we need your help before releasing 0.9.26
Bee wrote: How long do they stay there? I want to schedule a download, but don't want the file to dissappear whilst downloading it. Why not just use the SVN? IMO, it's lot easier rather than using snapshots. Whenever there is a revision that broken, you can simply revert it to the previous working revision. Compiling from source is very simple. Maybe we need to point lazarus users to some build manual (if exists) or create one (in other case). But indeed building from svn is very easy: - to clean and build ide without external components: make clean all - to clean and build ide with some external component: make clean bigide - to clean and build ide with all user component: make clean idepkg Nothing more and no need to download 40mb of snapshots every day. And also no need to reinstall that snapshots. Best regards, Paul Ishenin. ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
[Lazarus] Dear developers, we need your help before releasing 0.9.26
Hello, General mailing list. Lazarus 0.9.26 is coming. We have made all the main changes we wanted to make. We spent the last couple of days on bug fixing. We have fixed many issues, but we are not sure we have fixed all regressions. It would be sad to release a version, that you cannot use. Thus we kindly ask you to test our latest snapshots at http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/ or (better) the svn version. Please, check your work projects, run tests, play with the IDE, do crazy things. And if you find a regression, let us know through the bug tracker at http://bugs.freepascal.org/ . Lazarus 0.9.26 will not be released with regressions (new errors, things that worked in 0.9.24), *if* we know about them. If there are no more regressions, we will release in one or two weeks. After the release it will be too late to bash us for regressions. So grab this opportunity. The Lazarus team. ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

(Except for the version number that will get onto the LFM files). No, there are few bugs to fix in the bug tracker. But they are not very important. Also boys on russian forum doing their testing and already found few bugs. But if you asking about features then yes - we will not do any new features before 0.9.26 release.

Re: [Lazarus] attention Paul Ishenin (and Mantis maintainer) [bug_id=11651]
Graeme Geldenhuys пишет: Hi Paul, Regarding bug report: http://bugs.freepascal.org/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=11651 ... you closed it before I could reply... :-( Regarding your last comment. I always include the exact SVN revision - hence the reason I implemented the Copy version information to Clipboard popup menu in the Lazarus About dialog. Next time please review the bug report correctly. Product Buildv0.9.25 r15545M i386-linux-gtk It seems the Simple View in mantis doesn't show the Product Build field (including a few other). Clicking on Advanced View it does. Maybe Advanced View must be the default in Mantis then - otherwise you might loose a lot of the detail regarding a bug report! my apologies :) At to answer your other question. I just got another update for Lazarus (v0.9.25 r16273M i386-linux-gtk) and yes the bug has been resolved somewhere between r15545 and r16273. It seems some old bug report came to light :) Sorry, without that advanced view I thought it was report about today bug.
