The members are part of fcl-web's fphttpclient. I guess they are new in FPC
3.0.
Silvio, would it be easy to add IFDEFs to support compilation with FPC
2.6.4. We plan to support it also in Lazarus trunk for some time to come.

John Landmesser, it compiles with the latest FPC release. I can recommend
it unless you have a good reason to stick with FPC 2.6.4.

Re: [Lazarus] LHelp

[leledumbo]

 Does LHelp support images? That is, can you include screen shots within the
.chm file for LHelp to display?

LHelp viewer is TurboPowerIPro. TurboPowerIPro supports images. Therefore...

Re: [Lazarus] lhelp command line

 how does one get lhelp to load all or a certain set of chm files
 from the command line?
 

If it doesn't work, it probably isn't implemented in lhelp command line
handling.
The lazarus chmhelp package that is used to control lhelp currently does
load all chms in your chm directory/directories, so you could submit a
patch based on the code there.

Let me know if you want me to dig up the exact location of that code.

 additionally, from within lhelp, File-Open only allows one file at
 a time to be specified... you can't CTRL-Click on multiple or
 SHIFT-Click to grab a bunch in a row...
Probably needs some property for the file picker set to enable multi
file selection (sorry, not much of a GUI guy myself) and the rest of the
code in lhelp adjusted?

Re: [Lazarus] LHelp flickering solution: request for comments

Hi *,

I've written up a proposal to stop lhelp from flickering (e.g. when
loading multiple chm files on start) and close it when the IDE is closed.

See bug:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=24743

Comments/suggestions welcome.


Two questions if I may. First, what happens if two copies of the IDE are 
open? Are there two separate lhelp instances, and do they track correctly?


Second, when lhelp is invoked by F1 (or direct equivalent), could .chm 
files be loaded in order of relevance so as to get /something/ useful 
visible ASAP?

Of course, that's why I posted this...

Good point. I've been thinking about that - what about this:
* The IDE passes an --ipcname starting with lhelp then an (e.g.; depends
on any --ipcname length limits) 4 character random identifier so
multiple IDE/lhelp sets does not interfere with communication.


 Second, when lhelp is invoked by F1 (or direct equivalent), could .chm
 files be loaded in order of relevance so as to get /something/ useful
 visible ASAP?

I don't think so. It seems lhelp is single-threaded or at least synchronous.
I wouldn't think this is a big problem though - it takes a couple of
seconds on my pc to load all files; perhaps the proposed --hide argument
will let lhelp shave off some time as it doesn't need to update its GUI
while loading.

 Instead of the random identifier it could pass the PID of the current
 process.
 
Good idea, thanks.

Re: [Lazarus] LHelp doesn't scroll

Unlike in Delphi, If I click on a component in Lazarus 1.0 RC 2 and then tap 
F1, nothing happens.  The only way I can bring up help is to type the full 
component name (e.g. TDBGrid) in the editor and then tap F1.

But then I still can't read it all because neither tapping the vertical scroll 
bar nor using the page up/down keys does anything.

I'm using Win 7 64 bit.


Checking on Linux x86 (i.e. 32-bit): F1 on the TButton on the standard 
tab does nothing, ditto for a TButton on a form.


F1 on a TButton in the upper pane of the Object Inspector brings up a 
browser for online help, while F1 on one of its properties in the lower 
pane brings up lhelp- this is an unfortunate inconsistency.


Scrollbar is OK in lhelp's right-hand pane, but cursor keys are 
associated with the left-hand pane (i.e. even after a mouse click in the 
help text, page up/down don't work as expected).

 I think it's a bug. Unfortunately no time to go digging how to get the
 primary config path, so no patch.

Thanks Mattias for the quick fix. Tested it on my clean Win2K system and
it works.

 Hi list,
 
 I mentioned this earlier, but on testing just now it happened again.
 
 Also, Graeme's recent message on lhelp compilation failing with a
 different primary config path triggered me.
 
 With current fpcup, a bare metal install does not seem to compile lhelp,
 but does compile useride. So far, so good.
 
 Pressing F1 will induce lhelp compilation which fails on my test
 environment because the default lazarus primary config path is used. See
 messages below.
 Note: my primary config path in this case should be:
 c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\application
 data\lazarusdevsettings
 
 On my clean test Win2K, this was not available. On machines with
 existing laz installs, this problem may be masked.
 
 This is, of course, possibly a problem with fpcup, but perhaps it is
 true that e.g. chmhelppkg doesn't pick up and pass on the
 --primary-config path when compiling lhelp.
 
 Just throwing it out there in case people see related symptoms; I'll
 have limited email avilability next week so I'll look into it afterwards.

I think it's a bug. Unfortunately no time to go digging how to get the
primary config path, so no patch.
