[Lazarus] ShowMessage-Window size on newer versions of Windows
When I use ShowMessage then often long file names (or other text) require to break them into lines. I use a function for this. But since Windows 8 (or maybe other versions of Windows too) the size of the WidgetSet-Window is of fixed size (instead of that it widens to the longest line in the window as it was before). This is a completely nonsense-change! Who is doing all these bullshit API changes at MS? I don't get it. Today I stumbled about this web page http://zarko-gajic.iz.hr/displaying-long-non-breakable-text-file-path-in-messagedlg-truncationellipsis-issues/ where the author complains in the same way about this issue but offers a workarounds (but only for Delphi). My question: Is this workaround (usage of old style message windows) available in Lazarus too? If yes, how? If no, can it be added? -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

To install fpc from source: cd your/fpc/svn make clean all install I know. But over the last few months I've been trying to keep distinct binary versions: originally because I was trying to look at things like helpfile content and suspected that some things weren't working properly unless all binaries were consistent. Since 2.7.1 this has been broken, and every time I've built a new trunk I've ended up copying a few dozen files from /usr/local/bin to /usr/local/bin/fpc.d/2.7.1... even with enforced practice it's been getting frustrating. So my apologies once more for the mistaken cross-reference. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
