[lazarus] Menu
Good people: Does anybody know where can I find documentation about creating and managing menu? I mean, like a standard Windows app main menu or something. Best regards German
Re: [lazarus] Menu
I do not know where you can find information on the subject, but can give you a few tips. You can attach submenu's to the parent forms menu by: -- begin code *procedure TForm1.CreateSubMenu(Sender: TObject); *var Sub, SubItems: TMenuItem; begin // Create a sub menu Sub := TMenuItem.Create(Menu); Sub.Caption := 'SubMenu'; // Create items on the submenu SubItems := TMenuItem.Create(Sub); SubItems.Caption := 'Remove This Menu'; SubItems.OnClick := @RemoveSubMenu; Sub.Add(SubItems); // Add Sub menu to Forms main menu (at the 3rd position). Menu.Items.Insert(2, Sub); end; procedure TForm1.RemoveSubMenu(Sender: TObject); begin Menu.Items.Delete(2); // Delete menu item at the third position end; -- end code If you need more specific information ask away, maybe we can help.

[lazarus] menu editor
Hello I am a newbie to this forum, but I have used Delphi and Lazarus on Windows previously. I have just installed Lazarus on an Ubuntu Linux system and the Lazarus runs up OK, but when I try to run the menu editor it freezes Lazarus and no matter what I do I cannot clear it from the desk top, apart from login off and login on again. Has any one else experienced this problem and overcome it.

[lazarus] Menu Editor problems
Hi, Has anybody else noticed that the menu editor is screwed? I use Lazarus 0.9.19 (r10047) under Linux with FPC 2.1.1 and Gtk1 widget set. I create a form, drop a TMainMenu on the form. Double click the TMainMenu which opens the menu editor. I insert a Default File menu template. Save everything and restart lazarus. Back to my form, double click on the TMainMenu to open the Menu Editor. Right click on 'Save' and select Delete Item, and two menu items disappear. This happens every time I select Delete item. Now what you see in the form designer is different to what you see when you compile and run the app. Form design shows a certain amount of menu items, and when running the app it shows a different amount of menu items. Also pressing F12 (switching between Form Designer and Code Editor) a few times, to see what TMenuItems have been inserted in the code editor crashed Lazarus. It pops up the the OK to ignore the error, or Cancel to kill the app. Sometimes also showing Unable to view a hidden or disabled window, well something like that.

I can confirm that I have observed the same problem on r. 10088. It seems as if 2 items get deleted when one selects Delete Item in the menu editor. I have also noticed that the menu items displayed in the Menu Editor after deleting an item is sometimes out of sync with the items displayed on the form, typically if one deletes the last item.

Re: [lazarus] Menu icons in KDE / Gnome
That's highly distribution-specific. There are some efforts to make a standard, though. For Fedora: install the desktop-file-utils. Make a desktop-file (see an example in lazarus/install/gnome.ide.desktop) and then run desktop-file- install desktopfile.desktop. (this also makes a kde-icon and menu-entry) Aahh, a question the distribution developer gets to answer :) Actually, the freedesktop standard is very specific, although gnome fails to follow it completely unless you tweak a bunch a stuff, KDE does follow it perfectly so the easy way for the programmer is to install for gnome since KDE will pick it up. KDE and gnome will both check /usr/share/applications/ for desktop files, so that's where your desktop file should go, to prevent inter-distro issues, install your icon picture somewhere global as well, and set a full path in the desktop file. Finally, the crunch is that to get your menu item in the right place, you need to use categories, the reason for those are that the distro's can rename menu sections, but the application entries will be still be sorted like-by-like. The easy way to do those, are to drag an item from the same part of the menu you want to be in onto your desktop, and look at it with a text file, the categories are usually the last line, just copy and paste it into the bottom of your own file.

That won't work. Since all desktop-files are cached, this will only work after a restart of gnome/kde or something. So I would say: use the script, and don't place the files yourself. (With the script you can also add categories, to place the menu-entry in the right place) Joost. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Currently, resources for Linux are being implemented (and nearly finished),
so make sure your {$r } statements are valid for the platform you compile for.
Now that is something Delphians will love, not having to use those
IFDEFS so much and having a native resource format, hmm this will
eliminate lazres no ?
One thing i do not want, forms added as normal resources in win32,
this makes Delphi executables easy to explore (and modify !) and the
forms should stay linked as code :)

{$R ...} doesn't work. Having a file.res with the same name as the main .pp

happens for lazarus itself AFAICT.

I don't know how but {$R windowsxp.res} included in implementation of
main form is working for me :-)
Of course windowsxp.res was previously compiled with Delphi but it's a
big step forward anyway !
P.S. Is there any magic lazarus WWW page with Search button for
searching about such problems ? I mean I can put there Windows Xp
manifest and get article or tutorial for doing this in Lazarus ?
Something like Lazarus knowledge database ?

Re: [lazarus] Menu items under Windows XP
What is the version of Windows XP you are using, home or professional? If you make a menu with several items (file, edit, view, etc) this bug appears in all of them? And after the first click in menu it disappear or keeps showing? Now i use linux, but when i work with Windows XP I notice that bug, not in Lazarus but in the Windows itself. I am not sure, but it always appears to me in the home edition, english version, and i see it in delphi 6 too.
