[Lazarus] Exception dialog

Hello, Is there a reason why the default exception dialog has a cancel button to kill the application ? We often use an exception to signal wrong entry of data or so, because it stops all further processing. If the user then uses the cancel button, the program is simply ended, which is not

Re: [Lazarus] Exception dialog

Oh, good point to discuss about the use of exceptions. I use exceptions only for really unexpected things. That a user will sometimes input wrong data must be expected by a programmer so I do not treat this as an exception. With unexpected things I mean all the things that are outside my code.

Re: [Lazarus] Where are the manuals?

Yes, examples are useful if there are no docs and you should look at them. I got a tiphtmlpanel to work in my project by ripping some example source code. What you can also do is type in the component name followed by a period, then variables and functions will pop up. That's also a useful way to

Re: [Lazarus] Unable to use method AdvancedCustomDrawItem and, AdvancedCustomDrawSubItem

lv's viewstyle is vsReport,and i was going to place a progressbar on a column,and that is what a downloader usually looks like. It is not possible to place a TProgressbar in a listview. (item.data does nothing, it's for user defined data independent of the LCL) What you have have to do is to

[Lazarus] including lazarus svn revision number

G'day all, When I'm compiling an app I can include all my fpc details with {$I %Rhubarb%}. Is there an easy way I can include the current lazarus svn revision in my compiled applications? I looked at parsing $lazdir/ide/revision.inc, but I wonder if there is a better way I'm missing? Regards,
