[lazarus] New TThemeServices class
Hi, I understand the TThemeServices class from the original QThemes project. Under Windows XP in hooked into the uxthemes dll to do the painting or something. Under other platforms like Linux in used composite images. Does Lazarus support the later theming as well (composite images), or does it hook into the GTK2, Carbon theming dll's directly? What does the TThemeServices class bring to the table for GTK1, GTK2 and Carbon interfaces?

Re: [lazarus] New features since Delphi 7...
One thing I dislike is the poor abstract implementation. I don't see one good reason to let abstract class be instantiated... As for records with methods, they are required for delphi.net I think they have just translated it to native delphi They seems to have their uses, following is a copy/paste from borland newsgroup: Iain Macmillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote There are cases where a record is as good or better than a class. There are more cases where a record with methods is as good or better than a class. Well, there must be. Or why would Borland have bothered to implement records with methods.. Iain, You seem to be in doubt. Records, especially packed records, with methods are very different than classes, when it comes to making the data content persist over time or place. I can think of several important differences: (1) Records can be packed into arrays in RAM or in storage, and moved quickly between. (2) Records need no appended pointer to a VMT or appended length value. (3) Stored records can be used, with programmer care, directly between different programs or versions of the same program. (4) Records may be more difficult to use than class objects if the usage only within the same program. Rgds, JohnH Yeah, there are plenty of cases where you don't need the ability to override anything and you don't have the overhead of a class this way. I still use the old OBJECT structure sometimes simply to get a record with methods. -- Vianney Devreese - Lepidosteus http://lepidosteus.com _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
Re: [lazarus] New features since Delphi 7...
New Delphi language features since Delphi 7... http://dn.codegear.com/article/34324 Looking at the New language features page I thought about two things: 1) This is one that I sometimes need: class members (static members in java IIRC), or class var - class property in the page provided. Moreover, if we had class members we could get rid of a hack in LCL that till now couldn't be solved in other ways (the fact that LCL classes store the WSPrivate class in the AutoTable field of the class VMT, to overcome the lack of class members in the language). I don't know if class members are planned/implemented in 2.3.x, is there the will to do such a thing? 2) I don't like that helper class thing very much: it smells bad, and it was introduced by Borland to map VCL classes to standard .NET ones. However, this feature could be used to clean another (actually, it's in the same file) big hack in lcl: the fact that class hierarchy is altered at runtime so that tws* methods map to twsWIDGETSET* methods. I mean, without having to overwrite VMTs, something like this could be done (if I understood correctly the semantics of helper classes): TWSControl = class .. end; and, in the interface: TWSWin32Control = class helper for TWSControl .. end; No more need for registering an interface at runtime, since using the main interface units causes helper classes to be used: it would be a cleaner way using a language supported construct instead of having to hack class structure to make things work. This thing was introduced by Borland to map VCL to .NET: well, in LCL we are doing the same thing - mapping lcl classes to the right widgetset - so, even if I don't like this helper class thing in everyday life, in the LCL case one could use this feature for the same reason Borland introduced it. However, I think that this language feature would be more difficult to implement than class members, and rarely used (it's something that only lazarus SHOULD need - you shouldn't use it in your programs). bye, Giulio _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

I just knew that someday there will be more and more Delphi component providers
support FPC/Lazarus due to active development of FPC/Lazarus and lack of
Borland/CG interest to non-Windows platform. And someday, Borland/CG will have
no options except support FPC/Lazarus because they'll be far behind FPC/Lazarus
for non-Windows platform.
FPC as a compiler is a mature and stable product. Morfik and Pixel obviously
shows its power. What I've been waiting to jump to FPC vehicle is AtoZed's
Intraweb. :-D From Borland/CG, I'm thinking that someday they will offer Delphi
for Pascal IDE with FPC as an alternative compiler to compete with (or
terminate) unofficial CrossFPC. ;)
