Re: [Lazarus] How to mimic MWSnap's Window Information feature on X11

I created a custom outline grahics context, set it's ._function call to GXInvert, set SubWindowMode property to InferiorWindow and then all that remains is to draw directly onto the root desktop window. * To erase the highlighting rectangle, I simply redraw over the old rectangle and GXInvert handles the rest.

Re: [Lazarus] Mac OS X : How to get my app to show proper Short-Cuts...
Hi Normann, Can you explain what you mean by dynamically? Do you mean via Carbon API calls or LCL settings? Dominique.

Regards, Normann So is what I reported a bug that should be added to the bug tracker, as this was definitely working prior to the Lazarus Key mapping fix, probably because carbon apps back then, just didn't have any choice but to support the Cmd+SomeKey mapping. So Tobias, how do you use the Carbon API to change ^C to Cmd+C?

[Lazarus] IDE: Win32: MouseWheel Scrolling (SynEdit)
Hello, I just worked a bit with lazarus after some month. It's still quite impressive how good it works. On the other hand it's sad that so many things do not work yet. Especially in Win32 IMHO it's still easier to work in Delphi and only switch to Lazarus when necessary. The reasons for this are so many small which simply doesn't work right or are anoying. One thing I'd like to mention here is the fact that in Delphi you can scroll in the editor by more than a line if you hold [CTRL] pressed while scrolling with the mouse. It's been in the since ages! I just had a look in the 'synedit.pp' and it seems to be in there as well. However, it is if defined out. It seems as if the mouse wheel scrolling is handled elsewhere. Unfortunately I'm not that familar with the IDE (I did a grep for MouseWheel, but could only find that an TWouseWheelEvent is fired, but not where to find this). Could someone give me a hint where to find and fix this. Or explain me, why the available code in the synedit.pp file can't be used? If I could help out to solve this issue I'd be glad to 'fix' some more (like the annoying Shift+Click, that triggers slightly wrong and makes me continuously enter the wrong unit).
