RE: [lazarus] How to develop real applications in Lazarus?
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 02:31 To: lazarus@miraclec.com Subject: [lazarus] How to develop real applications in Lazarus? Hi, I'm working on Hamradio station logging program in Lazarus (http://cqrlog.sourceforge.net/). I started a few months (maybe a year) ago in Lazarus 0.9.23 CVS (I don't remember date, I'm on another computer). Why this CVS version? Because almost what I need works very well. My program use Firebird database (I installed uib components) and use telnet connection (Indy 10.2.0.1). In this cvs version I developed entire program. After release version 0.9.24 I decided to use it instead of 0.9.23 CVS. The fist problem was in TLazImage. It was completely rewriten. I have to made some changes in my program. Next problem was with TColorCombobox.Selection. Newer version has Selected. But it was simply. The biggist problem is that program freeze if telnet is connected. Program works perfectly about two hours and freeze. Nothing in console, no access violation. Just freeze. Program compiled in 0.9.23 CVS works perfectly many hours and never freeze. I tried latest daily snapshot and program show access violation randomly. Nothing in console, no details in access violation window. My question is, how to develop real application? Should I still develop program with old lazarus version and ignore newer versions? What can I do for better compatability with newer versions? I can not rewrite my program after every new lazarus release. How do you develop your applications? Thanks. Petr Petr Forget Indy and install the Inet components found in the components folder and use the TCP component. I've also been working on a specialized logging program for the TenTen users and I have been having great success using MySQL.

RE: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue!
-Original Message- From: Andrew Brunner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 08:02 To: lazarus@miraclec.com Subject: RE: [lazarus] Solution to the BIG compiled file issue! Vincent: IOW: I expect Lazarus users to be knowledgeable, Lazarus is not for fools. I offer you all this. The #1 reason why Microsoft Windows (3 and up) took off and became so popular was Visual Basic for idiots and Turbo Pascal / Delphi for the coders between C++ and VB. The long term success of this project would be cemented if we all keep a more welcoming attitude to all walks of developers. (VB, Delphi, and C++) types should be able to utilize Lazarus in the years to come. Lazarus should even have an Express edition with more powerful features not even available. IMO Lazarus has serious potential to rival that of Java. It just needs more time and backing. IMO this file size issue is a serious problem for popular utilities that will run on anything. 8MB is totally unacceptable. We need a check box option in the compiler section to strip out all debugging code from LCL and make our distros tiny. How long will that take? While a compiler option would be great, having the debug code in the run file during the development and debug cycle is great. Once you are ready to deploy the application it is a simple matter of stripping out the debug symbols and compressing the file: strip filename upx filename then send it on it's happy way.

Re: [lazarus] some questions
You are not missing a unit, you have a conflict between the definition of an event in the form file and the actual. event handler in the unit file. I've run across this on a couple of occasions and the only what I have found to resolve the issue was to open the form file and determine which assigned event in the form file does not have a corresponding handler in the unit file.

I have a couple of Tmemo controls on a form that receive data from a client socket. AS the controls fills with data, the control does not scroll to the end as it should. I've even tried to force the setstart property to a vary large number to force the cursor to the end of the data, and while this does put the cursor at the end, the control still does not scroll. I have the scroll bars set for both and thy are visible, just does not scroll automatically. This appears to be a GTK issue as it works fine on Windows. Anyone have a quick way to force this to scroll?

[lazarus] Imagelist and icon resources
I am putting together a form and currently all I have is the basic form, an action list, menu and am imagelist with 22 icons for the actions. Saved this off and compiled it. After stripping out the symbols and running it through UPX to compress it, the thing is still 860K in size. I am assuming this is because of the 22 icon images that are compiled into the executable. Is there a better way to do this, maybe a resource file, and if so, can some point me in the right direction since I have never used images in resource files.

[lazarus] When does the main form show?
I have come across a unique problem I do not quite understand. The point at which the main form shows on the screen does not seem to be the same between a project built under GTK1 in Linux, and the same exact code built and compiled for windows. In GTK1 as well and my Delphi6 (where the project originally started), the main from is displayed at the beginning of the FormActivate Event. When compiled for windows, the main form does not appear to be showing until the completion of the FormShow event. This has become a nightmare as I am processing a number of routines in the FormActivate event and displaying status messages in the status bar of the main form. This could take a few minutes to complete, and as such, with windows it appears the program has stalled. Is this the normal behavior for Windows and if so, any idea how to get around it?

I am processing a number of routines in the FormActivate event I think it would be much better if you put a TTimer component on your form and put only Timer1.Enabled:=true into your FormActivate or FormShow event. Don't do lengthy processing in those events. Inside the timer execute event (such as Timer1Timer), you would do Timer1.Enabled:=false and then you would process your routines which may take minutes while the form is already shown. You should also disable any dialog elements in the form while your routines are running and call Application.ProcessMessages as often as you can so that the form can be moved across the screen, minimized and so forth.

This is almost word for word from a Delphi project that performs
the same function. I can replace the Exit with a goto LABEL and
place the LABEL at the exit point and it does the same thing, but I
really like to stay away from goto's!!! Too many nightmares from
my days of assembly language and I am chasing one of these at work
right now.
Compiler fails at the Exit keyword.
procedure TForm1.SaveAsExecute(Sender: TObject);
begin
savedialog1.InitialDir := HomeDirectory;
if SaveDialog1.Execute then
begin
fLogFileName := Savedialog1.FileName;
if FileExists(fLogFilename) then
if MessageDlg('File Exists, Overwrite this
file?',mtWarning,[mbYes,mbNo],0) = mrNO then Exit;
StringGridSaveToFile(loggrid,flogfilename);
fLogHasChanged := false;
caption := 'Ten-Ten Logging System - ' + flogfilename;
end;
end;
This may be a problem trying to evaluate the call to MessageDlg in
the _if_ statement. Try breaking it up into a couple of separate
steps to get a closer look at where the problem might be. Something
like:
if FileExists(fLogFilename) then begin
ModalResult:= MessageDlg('File Exists, Overwrite this
file?',mtWarning,[mbYes,mbNo],0);
if (ModalResult = mrNO) then Exit;
end; {if}
StringGridSaveToFile(loggrid,flogfilename);
Also, don't you need parentheses around boolean expressions?
The IDE code uses a log if MessageDlg ... then exit
statements and boolean exp without parenthesis. I just tried
successfully your code with fpc 2.0.4 and mode objfpc.
What compiler and mode are you using?

fpc 2.3.1 and I think it is svn 6813 from 12 mar 2007

It is true that I could dump the email provider and go to another, but when they decide to implement their silly rules for spam elimination, then what do I do. Find another? It is just not practical. I have also discovered that my email provider now requires POP before SMTP. This is extremely frustrating since most email clients will dump the outbox first then download from POP.

THashedStringList from delphi inifiles.pas TTimeZoneInfromation from delphi windows.pas I am using the inifiles in a uses clause but I guess the THashedStringGrid is not defined there in Lazarus.

[lazarus] ENV Variables
Thanks to all who replied to my question about the run file size. Have take most of the suggestions and parried the file down to about 2 meg while I continue to develop this package. Once I get it working correctly I'll get rid of the rest of the stuff. Environment variables -- How do I use one of these, such as $HOME. Since $ is usually reserved to indicate a HEX number, is there another method to do this? String List: Borland had a nasty feature that would always use the space or tab as a field delimiter even though you mulled out the quote character and set the delimiter to a comma for instance.Made it quite difficult to use a CSV string. Is this same feature in Lazarus?

Re: [lazarus] Bug on TImageList
Probably the same reason I am getting floating point errors when I try to add an image to the image list. Someone said to try once of the daily snapshots it is suppose to be fixed there, but I going to stick to the stable version for the time being.

[lazarus] New List member
I am new to this list. Just downloaded Lazarus to my Linux machine. I am an old Delphi user, so thought this might be an interesting way to convert some of my old Windows projects over to Linux. I created a simple main form with a few menu items on it and compiled it. It built a 6.8 meg executable under Linux. Is this normal?
