First off, this is the wrong list to ask these questions. Indy has its own dedicated support newsgroups and web forums (listed on their website). They are active and your questions will be answered very quickly. You can also search existing questions (the newsgroups have a larger history that the web forums as far as I know). So you'll probably find your answers just by doing that. I've used both Synapse and Indy in the past. I preferred the interfaces that Indy components supplied. Indy also has a ton of working examples for pretty much every component they supply. StackExchange also has loads of Indy support questions and answers.

[Lazarus] Indy vs Synopse: POP3
I need to read e-mails in a few accounts using POP3. I haven't use Indy for years, but I've installed the version 10 in Lazarus 1.9 (trunk) using FPC 3.1.1. It seems that things changed like SASLMechanism, which does't work when I click in the button to open the editor, showing me this error: TGlyphBitmap: Unsupported Resourcetype: XPM Resource Name: DIS_ARROWRIGHT But maybe this property can be set directly to the code... anyway. Do you have a simple demo (I haven't found any about it) that show how connect in a Google account, using POP3? Is there any dependencies as dlls? As Indy looks like has a "new mechanism" to authentication, I'm thinking if Synopse still work for that job. If Indy has no dependencies, I would like to use it. I believe Synopse has SSL dependencies... I don't know. Have you already compare both frameworks? Wich one should I choose for this job? best regards, Marcos Douglas -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] Printer printable width

Is the PageWidth/Pageheight relative to this origin ? As far as I know (or how I always understood print drivers), the PageWidth and PageHeight is the full page size (eg: A4 = 210x297mm). No, as far as I can see, this is paperwidth and papersize. The printable area is printer dependent. eg: my laser printer can't print in a 5mm border around the page. Yet my inkjet printer can print full page size. Same software was used to test this. I know this, and it looks like this is why PageWidth and PageHeight were introduced. But without knowing what the origin of this pagewidth is, these are useless properties. I must now resort to trial and error to draw a rectangle with sides at equal distances from the paper borders. e.g. 1 cm from the paper edges. The 'logical' choices (as also used in the selectprinter demo) do not seem to work. Michael. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
