Did you try Google? For me it works very well, for example:

lazarus wiki high dpi
lazarus wiki epiktimer
lazarus wiki spreadsheet
lazarus wiki graphics

All those bring excelent results.

I still remember in the last Lazarus day when someone said that there
is no list of 3rd party components for Lazarus, and then I just tryed
in Google: lazarus components

And there it was, the 1st link is the wiki page with a list of lazarus
components =D

Exactly. The question is: What is the purpose of sorting? Isn't it for 
easier finding list entries? Then it would be even better to sort case 
insensitive on Linux too. It would also show files that differ in case 
only as adjacent entries which may be an important information.

Just in case the same filenames with different casing have been added to 
a project, it's important to see all these versions together, and not

optimized for *human* reading, i.e. case insensitive unless there exists 
a special important meaning of upper/lower case names.

+1
But if we can't do that (which seems to be the case), then at least I
want to add an option no enable case-insensitive sorting. Normally my
units are all lower-case, but I have some legacy units which came from
some old Delphi projects which use uppercase letters - thus causing
the crappy sorting in my project.

Anyway, adding the option should be easy - so my problem should be
sorted in no time (excuse the pun). :-)

Design. It sorts file names, so case sensitive under Linux and case
insensitive under Windows and OS X.


IMO a project contains *units* in the first place, and unit names are
case insensitive. It's not allowed to add a unit twice, with only
different filename case.

Consequently project file sorting should be case insensitive, unique
across platforms.

[Lazarus] range check error with TMainMenu/TMenuItem in win64

[Seth Grover]

I'm currently running FPC 2.4.4 (built from SVN) on Windows Server
2008 R2 cross-compiling targeting Win64/x86_64. I retrieved lazarus
0.9.30.2_rc2 from subversion and built the LCL to be able to target
win64/x86_64 for GUI apps as well. I then follow these steps:

1. Create a new application
2. Add a TMainMenu to the form
3. Add a single menu item to the main menu

I compile the application for win64/x86_64 and run it. Upon running
the app, I get this:


Range check error.
Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Cancel to kill the program.

The backtrace shows:

C:\temp> .\project1.exe
TApplication.HandleException Range check error
  Stack trace:

I tried googling for a similar issue but didn't see anything specific
to TMainMenu with win64. I'm sort of baffled by this, since I can't be
the only one out there trying to target win64.

Has anyone else seen this?

I don't mind, if you think broad minded.
Some users might want to sort first for file type
and then alphabetically, or to reverse. Maybe the
Sort button should popup a menu with of a few common orders.
Or it opens a small dialog. Whatever you prefer.

Same for Linux.
But checking via Kernel functions is a magnitude slower and so far
there were no big complains.

[Lazarus] OS X locale information (FormatSettings)

[Craig Peterson]

A new OS X Carbon Lazarus project doesn't fill the FormatSettings
structure properly (using recent versions of Lazarus/FreePascal trunk).
 It appears the FreePascal sanctioned method to support that is to add
clocale.pp to your project, but that only works when launched from the
terminal, not from the dock or directly from Lazarus.

I've attached the output from three variants below, to show the
differences.  I first noticed the issue because by default Lazarus uses
'-' for the date separator, rather than '/', and adding clocale.pp
clears the ThousandSeparator value.

Is there a way to make clocale work correctly?  If not, I think the
correct approach would be to replace it with a new unit that queries
CFLocaleGetValue instead.

The "LongDateFormat" string also doesn't match the system in any of the
approaches.  According to my "Languages & Text" settings, it should be
something like "January 5, 2011" or "Jan 5, 2011".

On a related note, the AnsiString encoding isn't correct when launched
from the dock either.  It should be UTF-8, but defaults to ASCII, so
extended characters are all converted to '?'.  We've worked around the
issue by overriding LC_CTYPE in our .app .plist file, but it seems like
something that the environment should handle automatically.

Would you mind if I supply a patch to make case sensitivity optional?
Nautilus has such an option too. So do other Linux file managers. If
not, no problems,  I'll add it to my list of home-grown patches I
apply to each checkout.

PS:
OS X is not always case insensitive, you can format a filesystem with
case sensitivity enabled too. Just thought I would mention this.

[Lazarus] TFileListBox.Mask - what format does it use?

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

In the "File Browser" Lazarus add-on, located in the 'components'
directory. It has a Filter combobox with preset items, but you can
type in a file mask as well, and it should filter the FileListBox.

I have typed in:

  *.xml
  Xml (*.xml)|*.xml

etc, etc.

But no matter what I type in, the file list box always displays
nothing. Only the preset items of the combobox works.

So what exact format does the TFileListBox.Mask accept? The LCL help
doesn't mention anything either. :-(

Hi,

I updated my Lazarus to the latest Trunk revision. I see there is now
a "sort files alphabetically" option in the Project Inspector.

Unfortunately the sorting seems to be case-sensitive. So units with

It is much easier when you don't have to type the whole domain name. Try it
with googlebar extension in Firefox. I configure some of my profiles to do
a site search than a Google search when I press the enter key in the search
box.

Why not take the docs from the Lazarus release?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Documentation/Lazarus%200.9.30/

Or do you reject them because they contain the fpc docs too.

I copied the files to my website and created subdomains to allow Site
searching on the different documents.

I am now waiting for Google to come along and index them.

What remains for me is the LCL the Lazarus CCR, but either rather obtain
from gzipped archives than wget/httrack them into my site.

Further thoughts
=
When I look at the help generated for the Runtime and Component Libraries I
see the line numbers for the procedure definitions, but given how low the
numbers are it looks like they refer to the procedure declarations rather
than the source code itself.
There are some tools in Lazarus which construct tables of procedure
declarations and their implementations like in the Code Explorer. In fact
I'd like a listing of those functions and which libraries contain them.
Can't the same code be used to create links in the html which will load the
procedure implementations into the browser frames?

To me it seems all the necessary tools are present, and they only need HTML
generation templates/layouts to link them up to create the docs in the
manner required

I would like an explanation on this code (noob question, maybe):

I might be wrong here, but shouldn't the colon (":") be after the sDati var 
parameters name or was that a typo on behalf of the OP?


I personally assumed that it was a typo ^^
(and yes, it should be "var sDati: array of String")

Re: [Lazarus] TForm.OnCreate and Application.MainForm.Caption

In FormCreate, the Form1 is not assigned to Application.MainForm. This 
is done after the complete creation process.



//BUT(!!),you get no error with the OnShow event

procedure TForm1.FormOnShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
   // next line does NOT produces  error
   Application.MainForm.Caption:= Application.Title;
end;


- the creation process is done
- then Form1 is assigned to Application.MainForm
- then Form1.Show is called

Please take a look into TApplication.CreateForm for further informations.

[Lazarus] TForm.OnCreate and Application.MainForm.Caption

[John Landmesser]

Error on Lazarus Windows(!):
"Lazarus 0.9.31 r33456 FPC 2.5.1 i386-win32-win32/win64"

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // next line produces error
  Application.MainForm.Caption:= Application.Title;
  // next line does NOT produce an error
  Form1.Caption:= Application.Title;
end;

//BUT(!!),you get no error with the OnShow event 

procedure TForm1.FormOnShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // next line does NOT produces  error
  Application.MainForm.Caption:= Application.Title;
end;


What is the reason for that ?

AFAIK, the most advanced is DocView.

Sorry, Docview of course is an offline help viewer. But as (if built6 
correctly) the viewable info is the same as in the appropriate online 
resources, there is not a huge difference.
