[fpc-pascal] How to fix - Hint: Type size mismatch
Hi, I am trying to clean up the fpGFX code and trying to get rid of all compiler warnings. I get the following compiler hint on every line in the RectToXRect function. Using FPC 2.1.1 under Linux. Hint: Type size mismatch, possible loss of data / range check error function RectToXRect(const ARect: TRect): TXRectangle; begin Result.x := ARect.Left; Result.y := ARect.Top; Result.width := ARect.Right - ARect.Left; Result.height := ARect.Bottom - ARect.Top; end; I understand the hint, and agree with it, but what do I need to do, to fix/remove it? The TRect and TXRectangle are defined as shown below. Could I cast ARect's fields to remove the hint? TXRectangle = record x, y : cshort; width, height : cushort; end; TRect = record case Integer of 0: (Left,Top,Right,Bottom : Longint); 1: (TopLeft,BottomRight : TPoint); end; Regards, - Graeme - -- There's no place like 127.0.0.1 ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

In Delphi, I'd do it through interfaces. Delphi has this neat little trick that lets you have a property that implements an interface. Assuming FPC supports that, if you need to refer to the class that owns the property, you simply add a property of the correct interface type that the owner implements and then set it on creation. Having said all that, if you go OTT with this, there are a number of bugs I found (at least in Delphi 5) that make A/V's happen quite frequently. Okay, if that option is not available, use a design pattern, like the Adaptor or Mediator , or cheat. I wrote a basic wrapper for the Be API in Free Pascal (not the one that you may have heard of - that was occo, mine was more like the Kylix Qt wrappers.) But what I found was that I needed to do things that the BeAPI didn't support. So I wrote a glue library in C++ that took each control and added the features I wanted at the level I needed them in C++. I then created an "abstract" class tree to represent each Pascal class, with lots of protected members. I then promoted the methods and properties I needed as and when I needed them. This strikes me as what you need. Alternatively, look at the way occo did it for BeOS. http://www.sf.net/projects/befpc . An older version of my (now lost) code is there too. Oh, whilst were speaking, please stop mentioning Lazarus every time people mention Kylix on the B.P.D.Non-tech news group. It's tiresome. All you'll end up doing is making people realize that Kylix did more than Lazarus does at the moment in Kylix 1. You're turning more people off than on IMHO. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

My 2 cents ;o) I tend to agree with you. There are many other ways to display that the program is still working. I will add it to the fpGUI wishlist, but there is more important things to complete first.

Graeme Geldenhuys a écrit : Hi, GTK's progress bar has a feature where the progress bar moves left and right repeatedly, instead of the normal from Min to Max. What do you call that feature and what do you actually use it for? I know I have seen in used in Mozilla Thunderbird as well, but couldn't remember where. I just implemented a basic TProgressBar widget for fpGUI and wanted to know if that Gtk progress bar feature (running left and right repeatedly) is something people actually use in applications and worth the time implementing in fpGUI.
