I have made a github repository: https://github.com/prof7bit/NativeDragDrop I have renamed it because I plan to also make it work with more than only files (I have already added text/plain format), so ts not strictly only a "file" drag source anymore, therefore I renamed it and I also plan to add

Hi all, I'm trying to port a Delphi program to Lazarus, although I'm redoing the interface from scratch. Without getting into to much detail about what the program does, it needs an array of 72 buttons on the main screen, these buttons have their captions changed and are variously enabled an

Is there a way to see the assembler debug window in Intel format instead of AT&T? It seems the code is always displayed in AT&T syntax. Tried in Win32/Win64, latest SVN Lazarus and FPC build. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepasc
