RE: [lazarus] showmessage or similar that closes without a prompt
Hi All,
I am having problems with this timer. The first thing is it does not close the
form, even if I change the interval time. The second thing is I have a label on
the form and the message is not being assigned to the labels caption as in
MessageForm.Label1.Caption:=Msg;
I modified the program to include I modified my code as per requests of users
to below
procedure TMainForm.ShowNotification(Msg:String; time:Cardinal);
var
MessageForm:TMessageChildForm;
begin
MessageForm:=TMessageChildForm.Create(nil);
MessageForm.Label1.Caption:=Msg;
MessageForm.Caption:='Project Setup';
MessageForm.Timer1.Interval:=time;
MessageForm.Show;
end;
procedure TMessageChildForm.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
Timer1.Enabled:=False;
Close;
end;
procedure TMessageChildForm.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
Timer1.Enabled:=True;
end;
Anything wrong with the above. Thanks
Lefti

Re: [lazarus] showmessage or similar that closes without a prompt
Like Andrew said, you are closing the form yourself. Leave it for the timer to do.

Also in the MessageForm.OnShow, enabled the timer. Don't enable the timer in the MessageForm.Create. In the MessageForm.OnTimerFired event handler, disable the timer and then call Close.

You are Closing the form yourself. "MessageForm.Close;"
You need to set the OnTimer Event of Timer1 and in that procedure is
where you call MessageForm.Close;
Also disable the timer when it runs and reenable it when you call
ShowNotification
Happy Coding,
Andrew

RE: [lazarus] showmessage or similar that closes without a prompt
Hi All,
I created a form. I placed a TTimer on this form and a label. The code is like
this
procedure TMainForm.ShowNotification(Msg:String; time:Cardinal);
var
MessageForm:TMessageChildForm;
begin
MessageForm:=TMessageChildForm.Create(Self);
MessageForm.Show;
MessageForm.Visible:=True;
MessageForm.Label1.Caption:=Msg;
MessageForm.Timer1.Interval:=time;
MessageForm.Close;
end;
and the call is
ShowNotification('Creating directories',5000);
I assume this is 5 seconds but when I run the app it goes faster then that like
not even 1 sec. Anything worng with the code above
Thanks

I was going to add that to tiOPF, but I see it already has something
like that. :-) Amazing, after 5 years I still find new things in
tiOPF.
[tiDialogs.pas]
procedure tiProcessing(const AMessage : String);
procedure tiEndProcessing;
Nice. I would have missed it too. Actually I've run across several little
nuggets hidden in tiOPF...

Yeah, a form with a Timer should do the trick. Same principle as a
splash screen. I've done something similar in my projects and created
a helper function to create and show the form, so I don't need to do
that every time. The form also has a 3D look with now title bars or
borders.
eg:
ShowNotification('your message goes here', displaytime);
displaytime is optional and defaults to 2 seconds in my case.
or even:
ShowWaitMessage(AMessage: string; ToShow: boolean);
var
sMsg: string;
begin
sMsg := 'Hold up, wait a minute, put a little pimpin in it';
ShowWaitMessage(sMsg, true);
// ... do some work
ShowWaitMessage('', false);
end;
