Hi All!

I just downloaded the latest Lazarus and FPC and now I can't get a combo
box with a border :-( .

IIRC there used to be a way to select multiple border styles for
TComboBox, but all I see now is:  BorderSpacing -
(TControlBorderSpacing) and the resulting combo box has no visible border.

Am I missing something?


What widgetset ?

  I applied the patch from Henry. I hope we get LCL-Win fixed, too.
 
 Thanks.  I'll look into lcl-win, it'll need a GetPreferredSize with
 MeasureText and some more magic to take the borders into account.

I've uploaded a patch to the bug report.  The hard coded numbers don't
feel very good, but I haven't found a better way of doing it.  The other
GetPreferredSize implementations in the file also seem to do that.

[Lazarus] Epiktimer elapsed = negative value

2014-07-06 Thread Anthony Tekatch

Occasionally I get a negative Elapsed value using EpikTimer. Here is my code:

RunWhile:=True;
DelayInSeconds := 1.00; //Store every x seconds
while RunWhile do begin
  ET.Clear;
  ET.Start;
  while (ET.Elapsed   DelayInSeconds) and RunWhile do begin
ET.SystemSleep(10);
writeln('ET.Elapsed=',ET.Elapsed);
if (ET.Elapsed  0 ) then RunWhile:=False;
  end;
  LogOneReading(); //Store successive readings (my code)
end;

This is the output after about 5 to 20 minutes where you can see the last
line showing the negative value:
...
ET.Elapsed= 4.45265000E-0001
ET.Elapsed= 4.55359000E-0001
ET.Elapsed= 4.65441000E-0001
ET.Elapsed=-4.294491728000E+0003


I did install EpikTimer from the latest github.

I am using Linux, and had to add linux to the uses clause to prevent
the clock_gettime() error.


Thanks for looking,
Anthony

Ok, maybe gtk2 theme does not support border around combobox.What about 
other non lcl gtk2 applications ? Do they have combobox border ?
