Graeme,
If Delphi is dead, then what's Lazarus?
The subtext is that with Delphi you can pull off the hat trick of a 2.3 million
line app that sells for big bucks and where the client does not tolerate bugs
or instabilities or excuses. Can anyone make that claim for Lazarus?
Thanks.

Zeljko,
This is what my Qt Crashes for TOvcSpinner is based on. And also on testing
with the current stable version.
If this is fixed, that's great, but doesn't help the user who has 0.9.28.2.
Also, I want to make sure there aren't any Mac-specific or even endian issues
here. I think most of

What I meant to say was that after about Delphi 7 and the rise of Visual
Studio + .NET, Delphi took a major hit in popularity. Combine that with
Borlands many failed attempt at getting into .NET and then deciding to
sell Delphi, the

I take it you mean cleaning up the code and not backporting to the
original code. In that case, excellent news. ;-)

Yes, he means cleaning up.

But it could be in 0.9.28.3 then.

No hurry. I'm actually kind of excited now again about the prospect of actually
getting Orpheus and THtmlPort packages running reliably on all 4 major
widgetsets (win32, carbon, gtk2, qt). The improvements in GTK2 / LCL in SVN are
big, I think. And if Qt has improved too in SVN...
Of course

Good to know that PtInRegion is now part of LclIntf - it wasn't when I ported
this and there's no way of knowing when new functions are added without
monitoring closely every commit!
However, the current code works with other widgetsets. Do you know why it
didn't work with Qt?
I'll look at

Did you test Qt in Windows or Linux?
According to the code it seams that any non-win32 widgetset would fail
to run in Windows
Good point, although if you recall the history of this port, it started with
the only two widgetsets that worked back then: win32 and gtk1 - the others just
came along for the ride. I'm not even sure that LCLWin32 was defined back when
I started.
Does anyone use Qt on Windows though? That

I see that GTK/GTK2 doesn't appear to have PtInRegion implemented. That's
probably why I didn't use it.
In some cases the compatibility functions still need to call the Win API
regardless of widgetset if running on Windows, but you're right, if a handle is
passed, that should only be passed on
One of the points about Orpheus and other ported packages that I should
probably make is that I've been in contact with Roman Kassebaum who maintains
the Orpheus SourceForge projects and recently updated Orpheus for Unicode on
Delphi 2009/2010. We've discussed possibly merging our codebases and

So the best thing would be that you try to implement it :)

I'm not seeing the same problem with the Qt widgetset that you reported:

I wish I knew! I really don't have time (or patience) to do more than test
Orpheus against each widgetset for the stable release of Lazarus.

ago and can't remember if it was Delphi or Lazarus).
What exactly does the TOvcController do? And do
