Kitto2 is a dead end, just as ExtPascal was.


They removed ExtPascal from it... but I've never tried Kitto2.


What I meant is that I believe the architecture is simply wrong.


Nevertheless, now that Embarcadero embraced it, I doubt they will consider
porting to FPC.


The author have no objections...
But if you say that FPC already has something better (December,
right?), I'll choose fcl-web, of course.


I believe it is better, yes.

We managed to convince a major component developer of this, 
so we're not alone in this belief :)

(and I do not saying that I will use Kitto2... was just to know)

I downloaded fcl-report, fcl-pdf, fpexprpars from FPC trunk and fpreport.
When I try to compile lclfpreport package I got:

Sounds like a misconfigured path.
Hard to debug, because there is also the 8.3 filename support that
interferes. How I cursed that while developing fpreport !! :/

Re: [Lazarus] Why is OnShow not executed?

Hi,
just tested, it is same in Delphi7. Refresh data manually in FormShow is one of 
correct ways.

Předmět: [Lazarus] Why is OnShow not executed?


Hi

I'm using Lazarus 1.6.4 on Windows. I have a Form with a TPageControl 
with 5 tabsheet components.

Every tab has his own OnShow procedure to set the latest data in the fields.
Every time the Form is shown I want the first tab to become visible. 
Therefore the FormShow calls tab0.Show.
The first time the form shows it goes as I expect, the tab0 OnShow 
procedure is called and the data is set.
But when I close the form while showing the tab0, and then later opens 
it again, the FormShow is executed but tab0 OnShow is not. Apparently 
the program 'sees' that tab0 is already shown, so executing tab0.Show is 
not necessary. Is this as it should be?
To always execute the tab0 OnShow procedure I must call this directly. 
Is this the correct way?

ps:
  Note that I compiled your project using the latest fpReport from
  FPC Trunk. I simply set the correct Unit Source Path in the project.
  You don't need to use FPC Trunk compiler - I used FPC 2.6.4.


What are the minimum requirements to use fpreport?
Can I use it with laz 1.6.2 and fpc 3.0.0?
I downloaded both fcl-report and fpreport.
I tried to install fpreport but I failed.


Normally you can, but you will need to copy some additional units from the

comp.compilers.free-pascal.social is leaking ;)

It dates back to when, Turbo Pascal ?
Late 1980s / Early 1990s ?

Imagine this:

Developer (thinking): "The rave was great last weekend, still feeling the pain 
Thursday"
Developer: " we have this almost ready and this looks like a great idea"
Supervisor (thinking): "Ah the world's going to end next week anyway, who cares"
Supervisor: "OK, make it so"

;)
