Yeah, I get that all the time. I'm now using GExpert's add-on for its
"procedure list" and "grep search" features to get more accurate code
navigation in Delphi.

It says on the internets that Lumina uses QT 5
I don't actually know what GUI toolkit Lumina uses, but it might well be

I think LCL has many Compare funcs, but misses func for TPoint. Here

Why not extend TPoint with an IsEquals() method, so you can do something
like
var
p1: TPoint;
p2: TPoint;
begin

If "compare" doesn't mean "equals", then a better name should be used,
otherwise that too is up for incorrect interpretation.
If "equals" is needed, wh

Hm, in my app Int makes sense: i need to compare Points in binary

Ever heard of Manhatten Length? That would be a more logical approach.
It is a commonly used length calculation for points.

Hi Sven,
Thanks for clarifying the TPoint type. I thought it was a record
structure, but just wanted to make sure - as I mentioned, different
frameworks or libraries might use different types.

So does FPC or Lazarus already support the ability to specify the
default namespace that must be applied for a project? If so how and
where do you specify the namespace to be applied?
eg:

Okay, thanks for confirming that Sven.

Yes, that is f**ken annoying. FPC should have named it what it really is

Why can't that be changed to a UnicodeString or UTF8String - after all,

No idea - I've only been watching the CrossVCL videos as milestones get
reached. I've never tried CrossVCL personally, and don't use Delphi
personally either (since 2006).
