Re: [Lazarus] Type Library Viewer, Importer, and Editor?
Thank you for the information. I'll take a look ay and see if it can be improved. I normally use Linux these days, which obliviates all use or reference to type libraries, but I have a need to write a program to automate AutoCAD with some specific hardware I recently acquired. While working with COM, type libraries, and automation again I started remembering how useful, easy, and productive these technologies are. I get that they were / are a huge security nightmare, but that's what comes with ease of use and the power of getting components of your operating system and applications to share methods, data, and resources in a programming language agnostic way. I think it's too bad Microsoft has decided to shelf it all. They could have fixed the security issues with it rather than dropping it altogether. -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Even if version 0.82 solves the stream read error, the underlying problem is still there: it hijacks the format used for streaming TPicture but there is no dependency added to the projects when you add a TPicture. I don't know if that's even possible, but it is a problem nevertheless.

[Lazarus] Type Library Viewer, Importer, and Editor?
Does Lazarus have a type library viewer for previewing all the type libraries on your computer in the form of converted pascal source code? Does Lazarus have a type library editor allowing you to define plain COM and automation interfaces, enums, records, and such as IDL? If so does this tool generate and synchronize source code implementing those interfaces either TComObject as TAutoObject respectively? I am asking because I have been going through an old external backup drive with some of the projects and tools I've written over the years. Simultaneously I am also working on an automation project for AutoCAD. This led me to review a type library viewer and importer utility I wrote some time ago and ... IF the answer to my above questions is "NO" and ... IF there is moderate interest from the community I might add some enhancements to the work I've already completed and create a Lazarus add-in to perform these tasks and abilities based on your feedback. For reference here is a screen shot of my existing type library viewer and importer. It works by examining the registered COM objects on your computer with supporting type library information and shows your contents as Pascal source code. It has some searching, sorting, and filtering features. With your interest and feedback, I will consider making some modifications including a type library editor and implementing class generator. https://cache.getlazarus.org/images/showcase/windows.type.libraries.jpg -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

El 26/6/22 a les 1:08, Werner Pamler via lazarus ha escrit: It doesn't even work at designtime (see above). Try attached demo project. The "paw" image was inserted into a TImage after installation of Vampyre. All I had to do to get it working is to add Vampyre to the project requirements and to add ImagingComponents to the uses clause (or check the box "Add package unit to uses section" in the package options, then the formats will be registered for runtime automatically). With the VampyreImaginPackage 0.80 not installed in the ide, I can open the project, see a blank image and when I try to run it: "Project project1 raised exception class 'EReadError' with message: Stream read error" With the package installed I get the error as soon as I try to open the project (as well as when I try to run it).
