4)  Putting the cursor at Column 1, keep in the Shift key and press
the Right Arrow key - so you highlight the line.  You get a really
cool wave effect in the editor. :-)  The text expands and contracts in
width while highlighting.

Hi,

I haven't followed the GTK2 discussions, so this might have been
covered before.  Sorry in advance if this has been covered.  I thought
I would try running Lazarus compiled with GTK2, even though my apps I
create will be compiled with GTK1.

I'm very impressed with how much the GTK2 support has improved since I
last tried it (a couple months back).

A few editor problems:

1) The cursor isn't drawn on the correct place, compared the the text.
 It seems the text/character width isn't calculated correctly, to know
where to draw the I beam cursor.

2) Line spacing seems a bit too much.  There is quite some wasted
space between lines and could be placed closer together.   [Ah,
setting the editor line spacing to 0 seems to fix this.]

3) What font currently works well with Lazarus and GTK2, to minimize
the problem in (1).  I currently have it set to 'Monospace 11'.

RE: Java AWT Native Interface (JAWT)

Title: RE: Java AWT Native Interface (JAWT)



You might try the JNI_xp.zip fromhttp://www.delphi-jedi.org/APILIBRARYfor 
the JNI headers instead (says it also contains a Linux port)Mind you 
though that although JNI is a required API for a JVM to support (it spurred the 
Sun-MS legal battle against MSJVM which initially didn't have JNI support [they 
added support for it just before they decided to settle the case and retire 
MSJVM]), the JAWT API specification (by Sun) is an optional one for JVMs to 
implement (the Sun and IBM JVMs on Windows do support it from what I know, not 
sure about the JVMs for Linux/Unix/OS-X). JAWT is for having Java code draw into 
native peers from other applications (calling the Java code via JNI)

If anyone wants to try it with Lazarus, can help them port it if it 
needs any changes (don't think it does though, it's pretty simple [needs 
you to pass it a Window handle from the Delphi/Lazarus side for Java to 
draw in it]). Feel free to use it and/or include in Lazarus (apart from 
my JAWT headers port, I use there a rather older JNI [Java Native 
Interface] headers port, so first one should check if there's 
newer version of that one and its license [it was free license 
from what I remember, the .pas files for the JNI stuff should 
mention the licensing at their start])

[lazarus] JEDI QuickTime

2006-11-13 Thread George Birbilis
http://www.delphi-jedi.org/TEAM_QTM_HOME

Anyone wants to try with Lazarus and help in adding it to the supported
targets? (Apple QuickTime is available on Windows and MacOS [older
QuickTime] and MacOS-X only, although there are third party APIs for other
platforms to play some of the media supported by QuickTime [see QuickTime
alternative, various libaries for Linux etc.] - those third party APIs
aren't compatible with the QuickTime API though I think, they can just open
and play some QuickTime media)

Btw, at JEDI they also have a cross-platform port for SDL (Simple
DirectMedia Library) that should work on Linux etc. too (in case the port
isn't included with Lazarus too, would be easy to port their port)

Hello,

 When I do the following:

 Printer.BeginDoc;
 Printer.Canvas.Pen.Color := 0;
 Printer.Canvas.Font.Name := 'Courier';
 Printer.Canvas.Font.Size := 8;

 The font is not mono spaced, what should I be doing instead?

Use 'Courier New'. It is mono spaced with Linux and Win32 GTK.

We have been aware of both possibilities for years now, as well as several

They occasionally get mentioned as a nice one to have, like this post.
However somehow nobody ports them.

Maybe you will be the one to change this?

Jedi Math: used to work with minimal changes.
After the last release the current SVN significantly changes stuff, and
includes FPC/Laz support bottom up. (by Darius Blazdijk). 

Jedi JCL: used to work on win32, and parts on Linux/FreeBSD, except for some
more exotic libs. Haven't tested in 1 - 1.5 years.

Jedi ApiLib: in FPC SVN. Needs to be checked against their bugtracker.

Other api's: not tested. (telephone, acm etc).

JVCL: quickly tried about a year to go, too many missing components and RTL
functionality to do a mass porting. Some selected components might be
portable though. License problems (designtime components are statically
linked against GPL code)

Nearly all Jedi (and other Delphi Open Source projects) need more and better
demoes. Submitting nice demoes that work with Lazarus and Delphi is a
possible route to raise interest.

This has already been fixed in fpc 2.1.1.

Other issues with fpc 2.1.1 remain, among others a compilation problem

 Hello,
 
 Here is my first patch. I checked that Window Titles work correct with
 UTF-8 if you recompile win32 with WindowsUnicodeSupport
 
 I also checked that titles work correctly with Ansi if you don?t set

 Marc, please review this.
 
 I created a global variable on win32proc called UnicodeEnabledOS that
 says if we are running on a NT version or a 9x version.

OK, it took some time, I've aplied a modified version. r10196

Some things.

The $IFDEFs aren't really needed when the $ELSE part is the same as the
else of the UnicodeEnabledOS if. In the end we want a LCL version
without $IFDEFs anyway. So I removed then in 2 places.
The only doubt I have there is about the classname. for unicode it is
translated to wide. Thats ok. For ansi it isn't translated (so both
elses were the same). I wonder if window classnames should be translated
form utf to ansi. IMO not.

Also when creating a window, I've added a translation to the windowcaption.

Further I've my doubts about the next functions (besides that maybe
using a overloaded funtion makes it easier)

function Utf8PCharToPWideChar(param: PChar): PWideChar;
function Utf8ToPWideChar(param: string): PWideChar;

Both return the result of Utf8Decode() as PWideChar. I didn't lookup the
Result of Utf8Decode(), but I assume it is a WideString.
AFAIK it get destroyed if you leave Utf8ToPWideChar functions, so in
fact the result is pointing to nothing.
So I would propose to remove both functions.
I left them for now, since the code isn't enabled by default.

Marc
