Whew, I'm glad I got out of that terrible loop. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives -- Zaher Dirkey
Re: [lazarus] TBitmap.LoadFromStream Fails in Lazarus but works fine in Delphi...
try sss.Seek(0, soFromBeginning); //--- Result.LoadFromStream( sss ); On Jan 27, 2008 8:45 PM, Dominique Louis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm using the following function to retrieve a Bitmap from a memory stream. function MyStream.ReadBitmap : TBitmap; // Reads a bitmap from the stream var sss : TMemoryStream; begin Result := nil; if not ReadBoolean then Exit; Result := TBitmap.Create; sss := ReadStreamC; try Result.LoadFromStream( sss ); except Result.Free; Result := nil; end; sss.Free; end; ReadStreamC simply creates a TMemoryStream populates itself from an internal stream and returns the results. From what I can tell the TMemoryStream is fine, but the Result.LoadFromStream() call always throws an exception. Strangely, while running exactly the same code with exactly the same data file using Delphi, works fine. I am also using Delphi compatibility mode with Lazarus ( if that makes any difference ). Is anyone aware of this problem? Any Suggestions?

Re: [lazarus] Announcement: Poll about required windows version for Lazarus
What is the oldest Windows version you run Lazarus on This Ask for to customers or to developers (We)?. BTW, I still have customers using Win98SE and that make me test my project in Win98 before release it, but in fact i like to force them to use WinXP, for that i voted WinXP.

Re: [lazarus] UTF-8 input handling
I wonder how could Right-To-Left work on the code editor. You mean Right-To-Left in SynEdit, Especially in strings and comments. I think mixing LTR and RTL in same text will be complex to read it.
Re: [lazarus] UTF-8 input handling
Right-To-Left handling and selection of Right-To-Left text? Someone was working on this for the native widgets. I don't know the current state. For now Right-To-Left work fine with Win32 http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/BidiMode I am very busy this days to work on GTK, but when i have a time i will continue.

Re: [lazarus] New features since Delphi 7...
Can anyone briefly explains me what a class helper is I think class helper it some functions/procedures take the first params as the class (that you want to make helper for it), but the fist param (the class) passed as Class of this method. function (MyClass:TMyClass; param2:TParam2); but you can use it as MyClass.function (param2:TParam2); Nothing else, so it make as class helper as mentioned in the help of Delphi, it is not multi inheritance.
Re: [lazarus] wince GetControlText
I posted as bug in mantis, and worked fine for me, but not sure if that the correct way to resovle the problem, i think when we use SysAllocStringLen we must use SysFreeString.
