[lazarus] automatic unit adding
Thing, good to have. Adding TIdSyslogServer unit IdSysLogServer is added automaticly, but units IdSysLogMessage andIdSocketHandle must be added manually. Would be great if related class definition would be added automaticly. Maybe same problem somwhere else. PBB

[lazarus] Profiling code
Hi,
I like to profile my code with Lazarus or FPC. I tried to use the
{$PROFILE ON} tag in the code and also the -pg option to fpc. In both
situations I got an linker-error. The linker says he can't find the
option -lc. In the file link.res the following section is displayed:
GROUP(
-lc
-lgcc
-lgmon
-lkernel32
C:\lazarus\pp\units\i386-win32\rtl\libpwindows.a
C:\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\win32\libpWinExt.a
)
Normally when I compile only the following is displayed:
GROUP(
C:\lazarus\pp\units\i386-win32\rtl\libpwindows.a
C:\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\win32\libpWinExt.a
)
Are the different 4 lines libraries that must been linked to profile?
Where can I find these libraries?
Has anyone experience with the option {$PROFILE ON}? Or is there another
way to profile your code?
Thx in advance, David.

Re: [lazarus] TListView selection
It's supposed to be a patch to fix it permanently. I was working on it some months ago but never come around to submitting the patch. If memory serves me right there is however still an issue but I cannot remember exactly what. Anyway it works with me.

Re: [lazarus] New Project Design Study

Here are images of New Project dialogs from various IDEs: http://www.braillevirtual.fe.usp.br/temporario/Delphi_7.png http://www.braillevirtual.fe.usp.br/temporario/Microsoft_Embedded_Visual_C.png http://www.braillevirtual.fe.usp.br/temporario/Net_Beans.png http://www.braillevirtual.fe.usp.br/temporario/qtdesigner.png The Dialog for Visual Basic is almost identical to the Qt Designer dialog. Now, go to Lazarus and select File - New. You can see the difference, can't you? The current File - New dialog on Lazarus certainly does it's job, but it could be much better. What I would like to propose is to improve it's usability and design, specially for new users. I'm not sure, that the above examples are easy for new users. The idea is to give enought information for someone that knows almost nothing about Lazarus to create a new project of various kinds. Of course, this alone is very little but it's a start. The complement of this is the documentation. Both the Wiki and the reference. Now, back to New Project dialogs. I find that Qt Designed / Visual Basic dialog is the easiest for the users. It allows quick access to the most used things upon project start up, but it doesn't provide description for the itens. One problem it doesn't fit well with the current IDE mode, because Recently Opened files can be accessed by other parts of the IDE, and the last used project is always reloaded, so this dialog loses it's advantages, unless the IDE is modified. I propose using a dialog similar to the Net Beans one. The user needs to choose a category and then a project type. .. and then setup some parameters. Categories / Project Types could be: * File * -- Unit -- Form -- Data Module -- Custom Program -- Text Those currently exist -- Custom Control creates a unit with a frame for a TCustomControl descendent. Maybe allow the programmer to choose from which class to descend? Controls (this includes frames) are not yet supported by the designer. And IMO it is always a better idea to put custom controls into packages. -- Dialog Simple dialog with some buttons (Ok, Cancel, Help) on a part of it. Maybe various dialogs with various buttons positions? See Michaels. project templates. -- Thread Object TThread descendent -- XML File Puts a xml header and one node perhaps. * Project * -- Graphical Application Uses the LCL and has auto-created forms. -- Console Application -- Custom Program -- Library Does our library template need a big notice not to use ansistring on dll parameters like Delphi has??? I'm not sure, but I think it needs. Yes. -- Windows Device Driver Requires special compile options, and some special things. I still need to test this. -- CGI Application Like Console Application probably, but with a big comment that explain very, really very basically how CGI scrips work. There is a wiki article about CGI on Free Pascal Wiki. Just install the cgilazide.lpk. -- Unix Daemon -- Windows Service * Package * -- Standard Package Currently exists -- IDE Plugin I don't know how ide plugins work, so others might be able to help here.

[lazarus] One more development group with Lazarus/FP as primary language
Someone from this list may remember me, as I have had a lot of help from the people posting on this mailing list. I'm a member of MC AV-Team, the team that as a primary occupation has a testing of antivirus programs. Our new, partially finished site, is at http://avtest.mycity.co.yu Our programs are developed with Lazarus/Free Pascal. If there will be interested developers, the programs will be open-sourced. At the moment our team is composed from: - me, less experienced programmer, working only in Lazarus (Windows/Linux). I'm the man with the idea, and one that 'spams' other organizations mailboxes until I gain a proper attention :) - two developers, more experienced, working in Delphi, but moving slowly to Lazarus - site administrator, experienced in Delphi, but moved to C++ a couple of years ago. Now, he is moving to Lazarus. - two members on the forum, professional developers, working in Delphi (I help one of them to move to Lazarus/Linux), helping us a lot by giving advices and tips. Their contracts do not allow them to join us, but they are always there, behind the corner ;) Apart from our development of some apps, we have cooperation with some serious organizations/groups: - Nepenthes team (http://nepenthes.sourceforge.net/) - ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/) - Distributors of the following anti virus programs for Serbia: Kaspersky, F-Secure, AVG, BitDefender. Over the distributors, we also have contacts with Kaspersky Lab, and with F-Secure. I hope that there is a clear picture that we have a chance to be a recognized player on antivirus-testing scene. We also contribute back to antivirus developers, by committing the unrecognized malware samples (off course, after the tests are published). Apart from the whole anti virus thing, we are also the administrators and moderators of www.mycity.co.yu forums (in former Yugoslavian languages). The forum is of general discussion genre, with an accent on tech questions and problems. We have a section dedicated to Delphi/Lazarus/Pascal on the forum, so the Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian-speaking Lazarus users can gain some help from us on that forum. Summary, what is this mail about: - I want to say that Lazarus/FreePascal has gained one more organization/group, that uses it as a primary development language - I want to attract more developers, interested in making programs for testing the abilities of anti virus programs - I want to let you know that Lazarus is also supported by our forums (I hope this will be also a advertisement for Lazarus). I hope you will not have something against, if we sometime just translate Wiki/forum/mailinglist posts into Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian language. We are just willing to help the people that do not speak English, thus cant ask the questions on Lazarus forums/Mailing list. I apologize because of my English, I hope its understandable.

Re: [lazarus] New Project Design Study
I propose using a dialog similar to the Net Beans one. The user needs to choose a category and then a project type. I don't think this is a nice dialog. I would hate such dialog, it's too slow. For simple forms/datamodules, it's too heavy, and that is what you create most of all. I am with Michael on this one. I don't see much benefits in the examples you showed, as none of the dialogs offers more functionality but just some colorfull icons (read bloat). If anything I'd like to see the Lazarus dialog look a little like the eclipse 'new project'-dialog, as it offers the same functionality as now and looks a little nicer (i don't need the icons btw) I just don't like the separate description widget to the right. newproject-eclipse.png Description: PNG image

I think it is UTF-8 because when change code page to Konquaror, page is not shown properly. I also checked it with a hex viewer. Is it possible charset to be changed by browsers on the fly? A final weird thing, from a old post from you I have a screen shot that show that tpipro rendered correctly greek chars, http://www.magentadb.gr/ftp/paint-selection-sample.jpg how is that it worked before but actually it doesn't?.

Re: [lazarus] Profiling code
Hi,
I like to profile my code with Lazarus or FPC. I tried to use the
{$PROFILE ON} tag in the code and also the -pg option to fpc. In both
situations I got an linker-error. The linker says he can't find the
option -lc. In the file link.res the following section is displayed:
Download
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/gprof_win32.zip
and follow instructions.
Note: it's still not very-well tested. FPC 2.0.2 for win32 has a bug that
prevents profiling from working.
You need a fpc snapshot (2.0.3 or 2.1.x) for profiling to work on win32.
I think that if you use the fpc distributed with lazarus there should be
no problems.

In fact, all what you see in the dialog are registered items. We should extend the interface to easily setup this multi page setup.

When I compile a Lazarus project from the command line I get a HINT for
every parameter not used in the method. This is ok if it is my method,
but methods used by events must have these parameters to work. I know I
can use the {$HINTS OFF} option to disable all hints, but that is not

About icons, they are widely used as metaphors since perhaps Apple II, 20 years ago. Why go back in time to old and unused User Interface designs?? none of the listed IDE don`t use icons. If well used they can do much good to the usability and appearance of the dialog. Ok, maybe big icons without a explanation like Delphi has are bad, but what about small icons like on Eclipse? Just install the cgilazide.lpk Ok, we *really* need better documentation. I`ve being using the Wiki a lot and already sent a patch to the online docs and I had never, ever heard about that.

This screen shot it taken on Windows. I do not have problems on Windows probably because all texts are treated as non-Unicode, 1 byte per character. Proper code page in the font is selected by .charset property of components. That explains the screenshot, and probably also why doesn't work in linux, either you don't have Arial font installed or the font doesn't support GREEK_CHARSET (provided that you have the same component charset adjusment) Regards, Panagiotis Jesus Reyes A. __ Correo Yahoo!

I don't see much benefits in the examples you showed, as none of the dialogs offers more functionality but just some colorfull icons (read bloat). If anything I'd like to see the Lazarus dialog look a little like the eclipse 'new project'-dialog, as it offers the same functionality as now and looks a little nicer (i don't need the icons btw) I just don't like the separate description widget to the right. Ok, maybe you don`t need a description, but do you really thing that someone new to Lazarus will find that a easy to use dialog? Will he understand at all what all options mean? I don`t think so. I guess, he meant the description should be put above instead of right. About icons, they are widely used as metaphors since perhaps Apple II, 20 years ago. Why go back in time to old and unused User Interface designs?? none of the listed IDE don`t use icons. If well used they can do much good to the usability and appearance of the dialog. Ok, maybe big icons without a explanation like Delphi has are bad, but what about small icons like on Eclipse? IMHO the Delphi icons are a good (or better say: most deterrent) example for wrong used icons. Most of the items are abstract and have no visual meaning. It does not make any sense to draw them so big. For example if you don't know, what a 'component' is, the cog wheel, or whatever it is, won't help. When I used Delphi, the icons confused me. I learned to ignore them. The netbeans icons are better, as they are smaller and the text is bigger. Just install the cgilazide.lpk Ok, we *really* need better documentation. I`ve being using the Wiki a lot and already sent a patch to the online docs and I had never, ever heard about that. I would even add that dialogs should have a Help button, possibly linking to the Wiki. Good idea.

I'm a member of MC AV-Team, the team that as a primary occupation has a testing of antivirus programs. Our new, partially finished site, is at http://avtest.mycity.co.yu Our programs are developed with Lazarus/Free Pascal. If there will be interested developers, the programs will be open-sourced. At the moment our team is composed from: - me, less experienced programmer, working only in Lazarus (Windows/Linux). I'm the man with the idea, and one that 'spams' other organizations mailboxes until I gain a proper attention :) - two developers, more experienced, working in Delphi, but moving slowly to Lazarus - site administrator, experienced in Delphi, but moved to C++ a couple of years ago. Now, he is moving to Lazarus. - two members on the forum, professional developers, working in Delphi (I help one of them to move to Lazarus/Linux), helping us a lot by giving advices and tips. Their contracts do not allow them to join us, but they are always there, behind the corner ;) Apart from our development of some apps, we have cooperation with some serious organizations/groups: - Nepenthes team (http://nepenthes.sourceforge.net/) - ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/) - Distributors of the following anti virus programs for Serbia: Kaspersky, F-Secure, AVG, BitDefender. Over the distributors, we also have contacts with Kaspersky Lab, and with F-Secure. I hope that there is a clear picture that we have a chance to be a recognized player on antivirus-testing scene. We also contribute back to antivirus developers, by committing the unrecognized malware samples (off course, after the tests are published). Apart from the whole anti virus thing, we are also the administrators and moderators of www.mycity.co.yu forums (in former Yugoslavian languages). The forum is of general discussion genre, with an accent on tech questions and problems. We have a section dedicated to Delphi/Lazarus/Pascal on the forum, so the Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian-speaking Lazarus users can gain some help from us on that forum. Summary, what is this mail about: - I want to say that Lazarus/FreePascal has gained one more organization/group, that uses it as a primary development language Great. - I want to attract more developers, interested in making programs for testing the abilities of anti virus programs - I want to let you know that Lazarus is also supported by our forums (I hope this will be also a advertisement for Lazarus). I hope you will not have something against, if we sometime just translate Wiki/forum/mailinglist posts into Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian language. We are just willing to help the people that do not speak English, thus cant ask the questions on Lazarus forums/Mailing list. You are welcome to create extra sites about lazarus.

Even then, on some distros the firefox executable has a different name =/ I´m not saying it can´t be done, but I´m raising some difficulties and asking for ideas on how to solve them =) Where's the the Lin32 API when you need it? (Ermm. good quote of the year) Does firefox have some sort of API that allows users to remote control it from another process? Does *NIX itself offer any standard inter-process communication tactic or must each program contain a home brewed custom server damon (written from scratch each time) to receive unix sockets or other API/remote communication? _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

[lazarus] keyboard events
hi all, can someone help me out with an example or a pointer or something to how to do keyboard processing. i'm using TApplication.AddOnKeyDownHandler() to catch keyboard events in my application. my event fires. my problem is, i have no idea how to implement key handling code. i assume that the information i need/want is in the argument of Type Word that gets passed to my event handler (along with the modifier). i don't see any helper classes or unit functions that help me process those events into something that i can write some code around for dealing with different keypresses. i took a look at the Keyboard unit, but that units looks like it is designed/intended for doing keyboard handling closer to the metal. can someone point me at a basic snippet or some doc that shows me how to deal with the paramters in the event callback to get meaningful keypress information ? thanks, Tony -- X-SA user ? 0.4 is out ! http://x-plane.dsrts.com http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/x-plane-foo/ _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

[lazarus] LazReport License change

No progress at all, still waiting response. About this I believe that there should be no problem using lazreport in commercial applications, lazreport is distributed under LGPL because it uses FreeReport code which is LGPL, FreeReport as far as I know may be used in commercial applications (just you don't get all features or support of FastReport)and so LazReport may be used too. I know there is some concern about the runtime-linking issue, but afaik the same applies to FreeReport. To be sure let's give them a couple of days more and then I will try some other path. Well it took more than a couple of days but I finally got the answer, in short they agree so thanks to the FastReport Team and specially to Michael Philippenko and Emil Biserov LazReport is now officially released under the same LGPL License modification than Lazarus LCL.

I thought so, btw you don't need GLUT if you use a TOpenGLContext. I was just asking because I am on a long journey to find good cross plattform (I am on Linux) OpenGL headers for fpc as the ones that come with fpc are not 'good enough' for me and at the moment I am using some selfmade ones that are not great but do the job under Linux and OSX. But OpenGL on windows is IMHO a major PITA and I can't be bothered to make my headers work under windows, so I was hoping to find some usable ones.

I can't find an example project with this or similar name, can you please guide me? lazarus/examples/fontsenum There was no such example into my examples/ folder. Either it was not included in Lazarus package I installed or it is a debian package miss. You see, not finding a .deb package for Lazarus and not beeing able to install a .rpm package (limited skills), I hired an experienced Linux proffesional to investigate and create a .deb package for me. He may missed to included all parts. This debian package is available to upload. Do you think it would help debian users? If yes, please please guide me how and where to upload.
