Hello Lazarus-List, Working in the gecko port in GTK2 I had discovered something that looks like a bug, but maybe not.
The gecko browser is using a GTK Window which is a TCustomControl, once put in the form and started it does nothing unless the mouse is moved over the form (not need to move over the control), so it looks like a non processed message. After some tests I had decided to add a timer to the form and in the event handler add "Application.ProcessMessages" and now the window is rendered as expected :-? So for me it looks like the message filter in GTK2 is not being fired with external paints. Now a second problem with maybe same roots, once the control is painted thanks to the Application.ProcessMessages every 100 ms if I resize the window the control receives the paint message but the painted content is not displayed unless I manually raise some kind of form change like a caption change, so now my Paint handler looks like: procedure TCustomGecko.Paint; begin GeckoWindow.Paint(true); //force paint Self.Parent.Caption:=floattostr(now); //forces a form caption change end; This behavior does not look fine to me, but maybe anybody have a different opinion. I'm using yesterday SVN of both fpc and Lazarus in Ubuntu running in a VirtualBox VM. If anybody have a suspect about the problem source I'll try any change that anybody suggest. Thank you. -- Best regards, José -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
