Hello,
This has being discussed before, but was non-conclusive. A conditional
compile was added around code witch forwards all messages >= WM_USER to
the LCL (and thus WndProc) on Win32 Widgetset.
I see many advantages on not having the conditional compile, but I can't
see any advantages of having it. Thus I think Lazarus would be a better
software without it.
Advantages of not having the conditional compile:
* Compatibility with Delphi
* No need to recompile the LCL. This can take around 20 minutes on a
very old 400 Mhz computer.
* Does not affect multiplatform capabilities because windows will never
send a message >= WM_USER unless the programmer has created code witch
tells windows to send such messages. Even if Windows starts sending
messages for no reason, I still don't see how this would affect Linux code.
Advantages of having the conditional compile:
please, fill me.
thanks a lot for your attention,
Felipe
