Re: [lazarus] Error: Invalid Free Pascal Source Directory

What am I doing wrong?!? Can someone please tell me the URL for downloading any files I'm missing and also what is the exact directory in which they should reside? The correct path for you would be /usr/lib/fpc/2.0.4 Lazarus knows his way from there.

[lazarus] Problems with fpGui compilation
Greetings, I tried to compile fpGui, but failed. The problems I encountered where: 1) The line Include(ComponentState, csLoading); didn't compile, but it was indicated that it only works in fpc 2.2.0 or previous versions. 2) The line propertyBackgroundColor: TfpgColor read FBackgroundColor write SetBackgroundColor default clWindowBackground; in gui_form gives error: Range check errors while evaluating constants. The definition of the constant is: clWindowBackground= $8001; remark: I compile the gfx_package, and he tries to compile the gui_form, which is included in gui_package ? Strange interdependencies... 3) In the method TWideStringList.ExchangeItems, Illegal type conversion: Widestring to longint for the line Temp := integer(Item1^.FString); and the following lines. All this happened on a Suse 86x64 machine, with a FPC 2.3.1 compiler from 21 december 2007.

You cannot just use the designer to make that change. So, it is a lot of work. Can't you define a TIDEBitBtn that checks the global variable, and change all the ocurances of TBitBtn in TIDEBitBtn ?

How do I do that part please ? By using the Format function. For example: resourcestring rsWelcomeMsg = 'Welcome user %s'+LineEnding+'You have %d time units left'; ... Popup1.TextY.Caption := format(rsWelcomeMsg, [LoggedInUser, Units]); A translation in Dutch could then be 'Welkom, je hebt nog %1:d tijd eenheden over, %0:s.' which has the order of the parameters switched.

Re: [lazarus] Reading Jpeg with FPimage
Sebastian Kraft wrote:
Hi,
I have the following code to load a jpeg from file test.jpg
var FImg: TFPMemoryImage;
FImgReader: TFPReaderJpeg;
FImg:=TFPMemoryImage.create(0, 0);
FImgReader:=TFPReaderJPEG.Create;
FImg.LoadFromFile('test.jpg', FImgReader);
But the program hangs at loading the jpeg from the file. There is no AV, it
just hangs and does nothing
How do I have to load the jpeg correctly?
The problem here is the palette. A standard FPImage will use a palette
to store its colors, jpeg does not.
It is still converting each pixel's color to an index in the palette it
creates on the fly.
Place the following line before loading the jpeg:
FImg.UsePalette := false;
And the loading will be almost instant.

Second:
if you add the 'Gexperts' to the Delphi IDE (highly recommended)
then 'ALT Gr'-Arrow Up
or
'ALT Gr'-Arrow Down
('Alt Gr' is the right Alt key) moves to the previous/next
occurrence of the word/identifier you are standing on.
This is also something which I would like to see in the Lazarus
IDE, as I also use this quite a lot.
Now this I really miss in Lazarus!! When I created the Procedure
List add-on (also from GExperts), I tried the Identifier Jumping,
but my knowledge of CodeTools was to limited to get it working. This
will be a awesome feature in Lazarus.
Next word or next identifier?
In Delphi/GExperts it is next word.
