Also I'm using SUNOS in conditionals rather than solaris on the basis that uname reports a SunOS rather than Solaris version number (i.e. 5.10 rather than 10 etc.), existing sources appear to be about evenly split on that.

Do you know that the definition of ansi changes from computer to computer resulting in a different end result if you do the conversion in a russian, chinese, or european computer? Your code simply won't work everywhere in the world. Maybe, by coincidence, the ISO Latin 1 to UTF-8 conversion could be used. You could try that. There is a conversion function ISO85591ToUTF8 or something similar located in lconvencoding.pas in the LCL. In general, take a look in the Unicode characters table: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/-0FFF I am not 100% sure if the 80 to FF characters correspond to Latin 1. If you are converting from Latin 1 to UTF-8 then the conversion will only work if they do correspond. SHould the lcl utf8 conversions work on an ansistring, or will I need to write my own routine?

Every docking manager already is a layout manager for its site, and its interface only lacks beforementioned AutoSize capabilities. I also thought this. In theory, a layout manager only needs to manipulate some rectangles. Independent of a GUI, you could do it in the FCL. So I set about implementing one. Mattias Gaertner quickly convinced me that this view is too simplistic. Right :-( The calculation of the positions and extents is quite easy, no special FCL support is needed. Problem is the conversation with the widgetsets. Under windows this may work; Under X, you have the window manager to take into account, the underlying widget set which doesn't listen, 'AutoSize' kicks in etc. So I suggest you contact him about this prior to advocating your views. Since the layouts work already, all problems with the widgetsets seem to be solved (as far as possible). At least remaining problems do not affect layout managers in a special way. It's known that the placement of widgets frequently is delayed, with according features (intended position...) implemented in the LCL. A layout manager only has to use and update the intended position and size of the controls, and everything else will happen as usual.

[Lazarus] Carbon vs Cocoa
Hi, This is not strictly related to the Lazarus project, but I know here are many Mac users, so I might get some good responses. I bit the bullet and bought a new iMac (a marvel of beauty and design). Now I would like to introduce true OS X support in fpGUI Toolkit (instead of going via the Mac X11 backdoor). What API should I use? Carbon or Cocoa? I know Carbon is limited to 32-bit only, but it seems most of the OS X apps are 32-bit anyway, even though the hardware is 64-bit capable. In fact, even the Darwin kernel boots the 32-bit kernel (only the OS X Server boots 64-bit kernel by default). Saying that, it seems even though the kernel is 32-bit by default, OS X still runs 64-bit apps on top of it - some hybrid 32/64-bit mix. I know the Carbon bindings in FPC are pretty mature, and I have some sample FPC+Carbon code which will help me greatly if I decide to go the fpGUI+Carbon route. How are the Cocoa bindings with FPC? In summary, what do you Mac developers suggest I use and why? Carbon or Cocoa? -- Regards, - Graeme - ___ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/fpgui/ -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

[Lazarus] Taskbar button for modal forms
Hi everyone. I have a main form application that has a taskbar button. Whenever I show another form as modal form I don't want it to have a taskbar button, because switching back to previous form is pointless as it is disabled anyway. Is there a way to set this up for the whole application, or do I have to manually set ShowInTaskbar=stNever everytime I call ShowModal? Also, I have noticed that in LCLQT (in Linux) a taskbar button is not shown for modal forms even with ShowInTaskbar=stAlways. However in LCLGTK2 (in Linux) it is shown for modal forms, unless I set ShowInTaskbar=stNever. Is there a bug in LCLGTK2 or LCLQT? It can also be WindowManager dependent, I use XFCE.

[Lazarus] Convert standard Lazarus application (Tforms and TButtons etc) into a web application
Hi all, Please excuse me if this is an obvious question. I have an application called Adv_Player which I programmed in Delphi 7 Enterprise project and I have since converted it to a Lazarus 0.9.28.2 project. (It is a very stable and fully test application available for Windows XP from my download page in a setup exe file). Yes, I still have all the fully working original source code. Now I want to convert it into a web based application. I know that Delphi 7 Enterprise can do this but I never got around to investigating HOW to go about doing this. The application has a Adv_Main : TForm and lots of TEdit's, TButton's and TCheckbox'es and TRadioButton's and a few TGroupBox'es (or do I mean TRadioGroup ?) and TFrame's and maybe a TSplitter. The rest of the work is all done with my own code and reads and write some text files with readln and writeln statements. These can be thought of as comma separated value files. Questions: What do I need to do in order for my application (currently about 5-6 TForms) into a web based application? Another application has about 10-12 TForms in it. How many of those components do I keep and what needs to be replaced and with what equivalent components. E.g. what is the web based version of TButton or TEdit etc? How do I tell Lazarus that my binary file will be launched from within my html code? Can Lazarus do this? Would I be correct in assuming that ShowMessage() would not work it was hosted on a website?

However in LCLGTK2 (in Linux) it is shown for modal forms, unless I set ShowInTaskbar=stNever. Is there a bug in LCLGTK2 or LCLQT? It can also be WindowManager dependent, I use XFCE. Modal forms are supposed to share the same taskbar button as their parent form (meaning if you click the taskbar button of the parent form, the modal form will be brought to the front and have focus). So what you described above, means that LCL-GTK2 has a bug. That's not LCL-gtk2, but gtk2 bug. zeljko -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
[Lazarus] Installation of Lazarus 0.9.29 works fine and no problems (very long message!)
Merry Christmas 2010 !!!
Let's hope that this nails down this bug.
Summary:
Installation of Lazarus 0.9.29 works fine and no problems.
Wine / Programs / Lazarus menu item is broken
Open browse to drive c and then open the lazarus folder and right click the
StartLazarus.exe file.
Build all with examples gives errors but without the examples does not give
errors.
Important Note to developers:
Please change the Build All menu option so that BEFORE the build all the
menu item Run / Program Reset Debugger.OnClick is called then the Build All
is called.
e.g.
Note: I have NOT looked at the code as that is not my job.
procedure NewBuildAll.OnClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
ProgramResetDebugger.OnClick(sender);
BuildAll.OnClick(sender);
end;
file:
Lazarus-0.9.29-28808-fpc-2.4.3-20101223-win32.exe
(warning: if I try to say this file to a cdrom then the filename is
truncated for Windows compatibility).
Open Location Downloads:
then select the above file and right mouse click and select properties and
permissions tab. Then tick the checkbox
[x] Allow executing file as program and click the [Close] button.
This is a trick you'll need to do for EVERY Windows(tm) .exe file... So take
note. After a while it will be second nature to do this.
I have WINE 1.3 installed which is the unstable new version. The stable
version is 1.3.
Now right mouse click on the file and click on:
Open With Wine Window Program Loader and click on it.
Wait about 3 seconds on my system and the install program opens with an
option for me to select my language and I picked English
'Next ' x 4 times
Additional icons
[x] Create a desktop icon and 'Next '
Click on 'Install' and the installation proceeds.
(takes about 20 seconds)
then click on 'Finish' and the setup dialog closes.
Close the Downloads window (Linux Mint 10)
Desktop icon DOES correctly work and opens Lazarus for Windows
Menu 'Wine' 'Lazarus' gives Error 'File not found'.
Menu 'Wine' 'Browse C: drive' now shows 4 folders:
lazarus, Program Files, users, windows
lazarus folder contains 16 folders and 18 files.
It appears to be a good installation at initial inspection.
Select 'StartLazarus.exe' and Now right mouse click on the file and click
on:
Open With Wine Window Program Loader and click on it.
Lazarus now opens.
