[lazarus] Lazarus CVS update

[Cliff Baeseman]

Shane,

   I did not get the web site loaded last night but am sure I can complete
the first pass tonight and
 upload it early this evening.  It looks great so far, least my wife thinks
so.  I was up till 2am working on it but just could not get her up in time.
I have many screen shots of the color editor and our vcl components in use.

Cliff

This seems to work pretty nice.  However it still doesn't allow for any
mechanism of resizing the child components along with the parent.
The problem is this:  If the memo resizes, how do you automatically move the
scrollbars along side it and below it?  I thought a table component would do
the trick, but it doesn't.  A fixed box simply stops them from resizing with
the parent, so it DOES allow me to then notify them of the parentrs size and
resize them.  I simply have to find a method for doing that.

BTW, in your previous email you stated that you were going to be working
alone on an IDE similiar to what we are developing (if I understood
correctly).  It seems that would be a waste of valuable resources as we seem
to be doing something quite similiar.  Perhaps joining our team if our goals
are compatable would be the thing to do.

Hello,

>Should we remove the tables from our forms or is this the only way to throw
a button on a form and be able to move it around freely?  What is the NEED
for the table?  I don't remember why we required it.

I suppose you walked the same road as me.
There's a solution, though. The only problem is that this widget is
undocummented. At least in my gtk manual copy. Anyway it's not very
difficult to figure out what it does from the interface (gtkfixed.pp).

I do it this way:

procedure TGtkControl.InsertChildControl( Child: TGtkControl );
begin
  if Box = nil then begin
    Box := gtk_fixed_new();
    gtk_widget_show( Box );
    gtk_container_add( pGtkContainer( PWidget ), Box );
  end;
  gtk_fixed_put( pGtkFixed( Box ),
                 Child.PWidget,
                 Child.FLeft,
                 Child.FTop );
end;

Obviously my TGtkControl has:

    PWidget: PGtkWidget;
    Box: PGtkWidget;
    FTop: Integer;
    FLeft: Integer;

Hope it helps :)

A question: is CVS public? I suppose I have a pretty old copy of your
sources.

greetings

    Nico
