[lazarus] writing GTK programs

[Cliff Baeseman]

Well yes and no. Remember that Delphi in the background is handling
component creation for you. So say for instance you create one in delphi you
will copy the code over and in the form constructor you will then do
something like this.

Remember no DFM files exist but you can sure use delphi to code with to
speed things along. I do this all of the time code a bunch of stuff in
delphi , copy it over to the linux box and tweek just a tad and compile.

type
TfmMain = class(TForm)
   Button1:TButton
end;


constructor TfmMain.Create
begin
  Button1 := TButton.Create(Self)
  Button1.Height := 20
  Button1.Width := 20
  Button1.OnClick := @MyButtonOnClick;
end;

This means you will have to set all of the properties of the components in
the create manually. In the future of course the
forms designer will do this for you.
