[Lazarus] PrinterSetupDialog1.Execute won't work.
I can't get PrinterSetupDialog1.Execute to work on Lazarus 1.4.2, FPC
2.6.4, on Windows 7.
I couldn't get it to work in a program that I have used for a long time, so
I built a simple test program, and get the same error code.
Here is the complete program:
unit printertestunit;

Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, PrintersDlgs, Forms, Controls, Graphics,
Dialogs,

procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

message_string:=
'Not executed';
if messagedlg(message_string,mtconfirmation,[mbok],0)=mrok then
end;
procedure TPrinterTest.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

end;
end.
{here is the lpr}

Interfaces, // this includes the LCL widgetset

{$R *.res}
var MyTest:TPrinterTest;
begin
RequireDerivedFormResource := True;
Application.Initialize;
MyTest:=TPrinterTest.Create(application);
Application.Run;
end.
Required Packages are LCL and Printer4lazarus.
When I execute button1click I get the following error:
Project printertest raised exception class 'RunError(217)'
Clicking on Continue I get the subsequent error message:
Project printertest raised exception class 'EControlC' with message:
'Control-C hit.'
Any ideas on this?

RealNumber := 1.5;
FloatToStr(RealNumber:2,RealStr);
DbeditBox.text := RealStr
The :2 specifies the number of decimal. If you were using WRITE to output
to the console, it would look like:
RealNumber := 13.3456;
writeln('Number = ',RealNumber:3:2);
Which would output
Number = 13.34
The first number = the number of spaces after the literal (notice the extra
space after the equals), and the second is the number of decimal places to
print. NOTE, in both examples, the formatting dies bit change the value (i.e.
No rounding or trunking happen, just the number of decimal places specified
are printed).
Hope that helps.
