[RE: [lazarus] Components:]

[Baeseman, Cliff]

Canvas and Rectangle is the first thing that I need. The scribble example
would probably be a great help because it does exactly that.

I am currently working on the TScrollBar component I am making it function
as much like delphi as I possibly can which is 100 percent.


One of the problems I ran into last night but have not tracked down the
problem is that
say for instance I add a control to the parent in say the Show event. This
is necessary for scrollbars where I need to set the scrollbar Kind property
before creating the widget. In other words I store a pointer to the parent
and then in show I call add control. I was getting widget assert error from
gtk on the fixed widget. It is sort of like the widget pointer is trying to
be applied to the grid before I call add control. 

I take a little time and update the website this evening. I need to post
some win32 how-to documents anyhow.

You could download the snapshots.  Not sure how old they are though but they
should be newer that the 0.99.12 version.

That sounds like boring html stuff though!  I suppose your right though.  We
could get "a bit" more indepth
in our descriptions on the code and how we are doing things.  Thing is, we
just got a handle on it recently (if we don't change it again) so we haven't
had time.  Cliff, Michael, Peter and I are programmers, so it's obviously
not our first love, but we will get it updated.

Cliff, should the Drawing widget be the TCanvas or a TPaintbox?
