The same happened to me and (I guess) all gmail users.
We communicated with Balázs (GetMem) using forum PMs.
He has now switched from the problematic Yahoo address to a gmail
address, subscribed with it and sent a new message but I don't see it
anywhere.

Marc and Vincent, can some IP addresses be filtered? This one is in Romania.

I wanted to get other developers' opinion about the design of this
embedded form editor. It would be important to get Balázs into the
discussion.
His current version is mostly copied from CodeTyphon, however he ended
up with a similar solution already before downloading CodeTyphon. It
means this may be the most "obvious" design.

I remember mentioned years ago that a docked form editor for
AnchorDocking is not implemented in Lazarus yet because it needs
proper design and many changes, and thus the CodeTyphon solution was
not good enough. I don't know any details of that. I don't know what
are the alternative details either.

I use the GMail web interface too and I often have this spam issue with
mails coming from yahoo (among others). I solved the issue by entering a
filter in the GMail web interface telling it never to consider as spam
mails with

I didn't know about this setting. Now I have configured it, too. Thanks.
I can see there are many mails from Yahoo in the spam folder.

Anyway, it means Balázs can use either Yahoo or GMail account here.
Maybe the new GMail account needs some confirmation period before it
gets activated.

An alternative implementation exists in freesparta, compatible with
AnchorDocking and is flexible. It needs a little work but would allow
anchoring to different docking plug-ins ... Now I am not able to do
anything. Lack of Generics.Collections as part of FPC RTL is blocking me
for futher work. Status o Generics.Collections is unclear.  Sven is "not
really happy with interface hacks" in library but I don't see any
alternative...

Anyway the system is designed to allow additional cards to create like
history (without using Generics.Collections :) ).

If someone had helped me more then I would be able to implement compatible
ToolsAPI.pas with Delphi... That means Delphi plugins pluggable with
Lazarus with small changes :).

Re: [Lazarus] Docked Form

IMO the best option for Lazarus is synergy of solution from CodeTyphon (the
way of handling docked form in many platforms) and FreeSparta (elastic
interfaces, it handles many usefull events like:

additionaly freesparta allow us to create "decorations" around forms like

Why not use a case statement instead of the many IF statements?
For example:

Case Key of

   vk_f2 : custom_form.CreateCar('Cars');
   vk_f3 : custom_form.CreateDeal('Deal');

Sounds good but how much are you willing to help with it?
I have now time for Lazarus development but I don't know where to look
for your docking code or elastic interfaces. We need a patch against
Lazarus trunk. Can you promise to provide a patch and then work with
me and Balázs to get the feature ready?
Balázs is already thinking of improvements for his code. I think we
must soon decide how to proceed exactly.

Maciej, you can also use your private branch for Lazarus instead of
sending patches:
  http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/branches/free-sparta/
We still have not seen commits there. Why?
The branch was provided to make committing your code as easy as
possible. Before that you had provided a patch with > 30 lines
which was rather a joke.

> If someone had helped me more then I would be able to implement compatible

I am willing to help with the ToolsAPI. When did you ask for help?
Maybe I missed it. For sure you did not offer patches for it, I follow
patches quite diligently.

Somehow I have a feeling that you don't _really_ want to contribute
your FreeSparta code for Lazarus. No patches, except for one 30
LOC patch, and it is always the fault of Lazarus developers who did
not help you enough or were not interested in your code.
If this is a conscious revenge for the developers for being against a
Lazarus fork then it goes to a wrong address. None of Lazarus
developers were against it. Never. Some other people were, yes, and
they gave an impression they represented Lazarus project but they did
not. I am happy that episode is over.

Now please tell how much you will participate in the dockable form
editor project. If you don't want to participate, it is perfectly OK
but we must know. I have a feeling this long awaited feature will
happen soon.

Juha

P.S.
I am also impressed by your FreeSparta just like Graeme. I am still
hoping we could integrate parts of it to Lazarus. Let's see...

Hi Maciej,
I like your docking system very much. I would like to see some of the features
ported back to Lazarus. I have a question, though:
I read on your site that FreeSparta only works on Windows. It would be
difficult to make it Linux/OSX compatible? We need a docking system that is
functional on every widgetset.The latest CT implementation works on every
platform(ok, it has some issues on OSX, but it can be fixed).

I obviously missed something regarding FreeSparta. Is it not a

Re: [Lazarus] Docked Form

2015-06-12 Thread aradeonas

As Graeme  said its first time I heard about FreeSparta and its really
great! wish I saw it sooner but if it will be merged with Lazarus it
will be great for Lazarus and us.

Anyway thank you for the effort.

Regards,
Ara

I needed a break to regenerate. It was very hard for me. The idea of
FreeSparta was much bigger (Project inspector like in Delphi + out of box
Android/iOS with designer like in Delphi + ToolsAPI and many more) :\ I
have done the smallest version of "FreeSparta" project. Working on the
Generics.* library and working on some extensions for FPC RTL / Compiler
bugs and working on Lazarus extensions/few bugfix and new packages - It
took me two years (in all my free time). Too much work for one person. :)

Yes, you are right I need to fix that patch :\. My bad. As mentioned above
- I needed a break to regenerate.

I did not mentioned this before. With properly implementing a system of
"Docked Form", we can create a very compatible ToolsAPI. We can do much in
this direction.

I am grateful for the branch, I plan to use. Please look at other side: I
made effort for FPC related to Generics.Collections (many bug reports, new
RTL functions, and whole Generics.* library)... I _really_ want to
contribute my code, but I _really_ don't know what is the status of
Generics.Collections (with is the key feature/library for me for any
serious work. IMO Generics.* is ready for use, but this is my subjective
opinion). Can we include in some way Generics.Collections in to Lazarus...?
Generics.Collections can work with incoming FPC 3.0.

Maybe I should forget about Generics.Collections? This uncertainty
overwhelms me (I need to chose some direction).

Only revenge on the Embarcadero for the lack of the free version. That's my
real goal! ;)

It will be easier for me now (I changed my job and again I program in
Pascal :) ). Maybe in the beginning I will gather some key elements in the
diagram (I need for this 2-3 days). I wonder whether I should override
metaclass like TForm, TFrame and TDataModule to achieve many effects in
FreeSparta project. This is one of the most controversial things in Sparta
(and key things).

Thanks. I hope this will become true.
