Hi, We had an discussion about the OnDropFiles implementation in german lazarus forum lately. And most people had the meaning that the current implementation is not so good. The main problem is that it is impossible to drop files to special controls. In most cases the people dont need the Files on the whole Form but in special controls. AllowDropFiles makes no sense for me. The second thing is I think it is not very LCLisch. I think an correct implementation add an OnDropFiles event to TWinControl or TCustomControl and not to TForm.

Re: RES: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue!
This is how I understand it LCL is built with debug inforation. You executable uses LCL and is also set to include debug information by default. This equals a huge executable. That is what you want while developing. When you create a release version of you product, you run strip agains the executable. It removes ALL debug information, even those carried over from LCL! You end up with a executable the same size as if you compiled your executable with LCL without debug information. I say it again, this thread was about stripping the debug infos from lcl code not from the whole executable. It is real good to have debug infor from your code to have function names in stack traces that can be very helpful. But thers no need for the lcl debug inso so if it is stripped per default - we have not so many users that ask for the executable size, - the debugger dont jumps in lcl code that is not interesting for most users, - you musnt use strip and have an good usage from stack traces. best regards Christian _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Re: RES: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue!
Yes, however after a release, your not developing on that release anymore. Your users are using it and don't need to debug. The unstripped version you keep to yourself, so you can debug yourself. Not in any case, stack traces can be very useful to find an problem on an exception but there only useful with debugionfos, so its an great thing to strip the lcl debuginfos but nit those from user code. So the lcl needs to be compiles with some option. What has that to do with project settings ? Nothing. It's how the lcl should be build once. IIRC this discussion started about that. I agree that it would be a nice option to be able to choose between LCL with/without debuginfo FCL with/without debuginfo RTL with/without debuginfo OTOH, a debugger being able to use external symbols would solve it too. I think one checkbox in the Build lazarus Configuration dialog is ok.

Re: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue!
I defend the hypothesis: Users who cannot find out how to remove debug info from executable are unlike to become contributors (giving good advice in forums, providing good bug reproducible bug report with example programs and back traces, patches, writing good example programs for the wiki, contributing documentation). They are more likely to inhibit the advance of Lazarus by giving misinformation in forums, cluttering the bug tracker with hard the reproduce bug reports, etc. I understand you POV but i think more users means more contributors.

Re: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue!
Well, that was my question, please explain why. What benifit gets Lazarus from a user? Lazarus doesn't get a thing for users that just uses Lazarus and doesn't contribute anything. Codegear for example gets a couple of hundreds of dollars for each user. Not every user that looks first to the Executable Size, and uninstall lazarus or is pointed every second time the debugger hits an exception in lcl code is automatically an idiot. but the first impression is an very importend thing. And every core developer should be interested in lazarus making an good first impression. Only my opinion. Why Lazarus is Open Source ? If you dont need users you can also work with your 2 neighbours on it in your cellar. No, working with my two neighbours would not work. Lazarus needs lot's of testers, document writers, support givers in the forums (main, distro-specific and in several languages), graphical designers. Also not so good programmers can be good testers, graphical designers, help writers and so on. If me and my two neigbours work on it in my rate, we couldn't finished it in my lifetime. So we need more developers and more other contributors, that can help to alleviate the tasks of the developers and may become developers in the future. You get as more developers as more users are use it. At least when a lot of people programm with lazarus it is interisting for developers to work on it.

Re: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue!
nse. However some novice should be afraid by some remaining bugs or missing features compared to Delphi. That would make sense. Take some looks at delphi forums waht the people thinks about lazarus and you will see that a lot of users uninstall it before go to web or read some faq. And if we can make it better why not ? Delphi has also no debuginfos included for the vcl and the lcl debuginfos makes no sense for an normal user so why leave them for default ? Another issue is that i have at time 2 executables one with debuginfo and one without. When one of my customers has an problem that i cant reproduce ill send hin the executable with debuginfos and on an exception my exception handler get automatically an stacktrace and show it to the user. Without debuginfos the stacktrace is useless. When the lcl debuginfos arend there i can publish always the exectable with debuginfos.

Re: [lazarus] Notice: Possible copyright infringements in FPC code base
If CodeGear are fair, they send you her Code in private so you have the same chance to find Copyright issues as they have. Until this isnt the case everything they suppose the fpc team is mess. regards Christoan Michael Van Canneyt schrieb: Hello, The FPC team has been recently made aware that a number of routines in the Classes unit are apparently based on code originally from Borland/CodeGear. After someone found a tool to automatically compare source code bodies to look for structural similarities, we improved its support for Object Pascal (it's in svn now) and used it to compare all FPC RTL and FCL units with their Kylix 3 and Delphi 7 equivalents (in so far these exist). This enabled us to find more cases where code may have originally come from or be based on Delphi/Kylix code. All such identified routines of sufficient complexity and/or likeliness have been or are in the process of being rewritten from scratch using a clean room approach: by someone who is not intimately familiar with the current implementation, and only based on documentation written by other people. I am personally supervising this effort. This whole issue highlights a quite annoying problem though: one the one hand, it is most certainly our responsibility to ensure that all committed code can be legally licensed under FPC's modified LGPL license, and in particular does not originate from Delphi/Kylix sources. On the other hand, we have to avoid reading Delphi/Kylix code as much as possible since by doing so, we may become tainted ourselves and unconsciously start writing code which is based too closely on Borland/CodeGear code. As everyone knows, we nevertheless all try our best to avoid committing tainted code, see e.g. the comments attached to the following bug reports: * http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=7680 * http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=8248 * http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=9770 And yet, from time to time it nevertheless happens anyway: * http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=8661 So this is one area where you, our users, can make a big difference and help us in preventing this from happening in the future, as well as with notifying us as soon as possible when it does happen (or when you know it happened in the past). Most importantly: please ensure that you *never* submit patches based on code copyrighted by third parties. Let one thing be clear, however: none of the code that you wrote yourself can be affected by this issue, as long as this code is not based on the tainted code (whereby based means based on their source code; it does not mean, a.o., deriving from a tainted class, or calling a tainted routine -- in these cases your own code is clean). Simply recompiling your program with an untainted version of FPC will automatically clear your programs of any taint as well. We are in a constructive dialog with people from CodeGear over this issue, and will report back later on the repercussions as far as current and previous FPC releases are concerned. For the FPC Team, Michael. PS: for those interested, here is the preliminary list of tainted routines we have identified.

That fork will be maintained to an external server, like OpenSVN one and hopefully when will get enough substange to get it's own merit as an upgrade to Lazarus, hopefully will be merged back to Lazarus code. The project will be named LightZarus and will have the notice that is based on Lazarus code. I think it is not time to make UI Forks, Lazarus is on an very good way as it is. And a lot of Delphi code can be used as is so i dont think that the Delphi compatibility is an bad thing. Also the Delphi 7 like GUI layout is an very good decision. For my opinion you are the minority, not Lazarus. This sounds a bit like figthing for Lazarus but its my opinion. if you have good ideas, spend it to the Lazarus project and dont make forks, that never ends good for every project, at example takle a look at beryl and compiz. best regards Christian _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
Re: [lazarus] KOL-CE release
Because KOL library is used, not LCL :) KOL is very optimized for smartlinking and code size and have simpler internal structure. I think it could be an good idea to add an second method of formhandling to lazarus that generates .pas sources that creates and destroys forms instead of .lfm and remove all RegisterClass calls from the LCL with an #ifdef so fpc can remove ununsed parts of the lcl while linking. I think than executable size can be nearly the same with lcl. This formhandling makes no sense for Desktop Applications but for Mobile Apps. RTTI is not possible with this but i think nearly nobody needs rtti on mobile devices... What do you think about this idea ? _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Re: [lazarus] Linking to properties on other forms/datamodules..
very to easy do in Delphi, but I can't find a way to do this in Lazarus. Its the same way and your code will crash on delphi too For example. I have a toolbar and MainMenu on Form1, but I have an ImageList on a DataModule. I want to hook up the ImageList from the DataModule to both the ToolBar and MainMenu on Form 1. How do I do this via the IDE and also via code? When I tried to do the following via code Toolbar.Images := dmMain.ToolbarImages; right way. It crashes with an AccessViolation. maybe becouse you try this at an time when dmMain is not created ?

Re: [lazarus] Who needs Unicode controls.
This isn't the end of the world, but is somewhat inconvenient. To answer which system is better, it is necessary to compare the overhead with the benefits. The overhead is minimal, if the LCL convert the string one time it is be set and store it internally. It would be nice to calculate what exactly is the overhead produced by the string conversion. Considering that you mostly set the strings of your GUI only once, it probably isn't relevant for most uses.

Its useable but only for internal formats as borland with it dll stuff.
Also unuseable.
I cant write an Imageprogram, with only one format that is self
implemented. Nobody will use this.
Most users ask for translation of forms. This means
- on loading the form the LCL must identify the strings that needs to be
translated (TTranslateString)
- the string property must be get an identifer. For example
'TForm1.OkButton.Caption'. This must be done by the LCL.
- the string must be loaded from the database in the wanted language. This
can be done by the gettext tool, or because .po files are so simple, with
the short procedure in the LCL.
- there should be translation files (.po) for each package and project and
when distributing a project the translation db should be automatically
collected from all used packages and projects. Whatever tool does this, it
needs the information of the files the IDE creates. So a tool or plugin
'integrated' into the IDE is quite obvious.
How the translators translate the files is up to them. But IMHO there are
tasks, that only the LCL can do and must do.
Yes, that makes things mutch easyer TForm.Translate('mylanguage.(p)(m)o');
can be a greate feature but it schould be compatible to standart tools and
not only to the integreated
tools in the ide. also the tools in the ide schould be compatible to gettext
maybe this can be added later,
but to say i have no time at time to do this cause in most cases that this
is never done. the easyer way
is to do all in one step.
1. priority LCL unicode support (over all widgetsets)
2. priority LCL gettext support (with po and mo files couse most
applications dont use po but mo)
3. priority are integreated Tools to translate in the ide maybe forst only
to translate later to translate and keep compatibility to .po files

Re: [lazarus] Lazarus for core devel in one of our project! -- Multilangual support
First extend packages (and projects) with a languages directory with po files. When a project is built (or published) all language files of all dependent packages will be gathered add add in a languages subdirectory relatively to the executable or at another predefined place (i.e. /usr/local/share/appname/languages), configurable like the Help file of an application now. On startup all resourcestrings will be read from the appropriate files. I will not write tools to create or maintain po-files, just make it easier to use po-files in applications. I hope this makes clear, what my plans are. he first hint i have to this, is not to translate simply at app startup. the user must can retranslate the app at runtime. And at example for me any translation feature that cannot be used by the end-user is useless for me. When lazarus dont use standart gettext tools / formats for the translation its absoulutly useless for me and i think also for some other peoples. My example in the last mail was the vr-china. I dont speak chinese but they can make her own translation from english. Also belgium i dont speak ther language but the have maked ther own translation with gettext tools.

Re: [lazarus] VirtualTreeview 4.4.3 on lazarus?
Yep. I now understand that it was not a so easy port. And what about
the assembler code... it is certainly not portable to other versions.
I know the last version have a lot of alpha blending stuff and
selection-windows-xp style (alpha blended) and that the code for this
is assembler. Maybe this was not in the 4.0.x version. Anyway this is
not an important item for me right now. I simply need linux/win on x86
platform.
Sorry, the alphablending stuff isnt ported at time, so no blended Selection
and animations are supported right now.
You can port ist if you want, the most of it schould already work but has to
set in {$ifdef i386} ...
and maybe a pascal version as backup but i think as the arm and powerpc part
of the compiler are quiet usefull
we schouldnt use mutch of assembler for now. For my opinion a little bit
more cpu time in the blending routines are not soo bad.
I will not :) my project does not allows this, but if it was a matter
of 2-3 hours I would have done it; which I will not :)
I dont have the time to do mutch on VT at time, for my apps it works great
so if you dont want to do al lot for your app, 4.0.17 it should be enougth

Re: [lazarus] VirtualTreeview 4.4.3 on lazarus?
I would like to know what work is required to port the latest version 4.4.3? I have no clue about that and what exactly to do, but I would like to use this latest version (which has not been ported). What features have 4.4.3 that 4.0.17 not have ? 4.0.17 for Lazarus is still far away from original 4.0.17 remember Lazarus is cross platform so its not soo easy to use ole dragdrop and masses of winapi functions :) ... as i remember VT makes no big steps from 4.0.X to 4.4.X so why someody schould spend weeks of work to port it ? maybe we can add the functionality that 4.0.17 lacks and 4.4.3 has but i dont think an second port makes sense.

Re: [lazarus] Re: PDAs, Smartphones and form design
Also, thinking some more I think that I can design various GUIs for the same app just using some IFDEFs on the main program unit. About form resizing. To make it easely integratable maybe we could have a function (or method of TForm or TApplication) that if called will adjust the components of the form to fit the screen so we don't impose this. One can call this function on the OnCreate event. I think, only extremly small tools can have the same gui for pocket devices and pc in bigger apps the functionality and the gui must be rewritten for pocket devices, so a seperate project is the way to go in most cases i think.

Re: [lazarus] Serial comms, events and other stuff
1. I am connecting to an external microcontoller development board by a serial interface. I need to be able to set this interface non blocking. I can see how to open the serial interface using the serial unit but it is not clear how to set it non blocking. why you MUST use non-blocking mode ? i use synaser and threads with 3 completely different serial communicating devices at time and havend any problems. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
Re: [lazarus] Lazarus and OCX
Lazarus dont support OCX´s as components since they are not cross platform. the best way is you use an external pdf2html converter and show this with turboipro or something else. 2nd way is you load your ocx with windows ole api prvided by freepascal (i hope) _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
Re: [lazarus] panel as parent of a tform
As you said yourself, it is a trick. The support for tricks is very low. On win32 this works since all window widgets can have a window widget as parent. This means that you can put a form on a form (including borders) On GTK this won't work. There is a far more strickt checking on what parent you set. Thats not fact, in GTK it works and in win32 not ! I have posted a hint to get it work in win32 too with an little trick. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
