Subject: [Lazarus] debugging interface method calls
Message-ID: <632cda91-de8b-5df4-2b90-600ff6d7b824@angelbase.com>

Hi all,

It seems that when I am stepping through my code, when there is an 
interface function call, the debugger will not step into the function call.

Is there a way to make it step in?

Or maybe there is a limitation with GDB or lazarus or something?

Below is example code

Thanks!
~David.

program intf_debug;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
{$interfaces corba}

uses
   classes,
   sysutils;

type
   i_test = interface
     ['{aa}']
     function do_test : boolean;
     end;

   t_test = class (tobject, i_test)
     function do_test : boolean;
     end;

function t_test.do_test: boolean;
   begin
     writeln ('hi');
     result := true;
   end;

var
   t : t_test;
   i : i_test;

begin
   t := t_test.create;
   t.do_test; // If I press F7 here, it steps into t_test.do_test
   supports (t, i_test, i);
   i.do_test; // F7 steps over, not into t_test.do_test
end.

No, and that is very annoying indeed.

I believe I already reported it on Mantis some time ago, but can't seem
to find the actual report now. Maybe it is worth adding a new Mantis report.

Dwarf2 should support it, AFAIK.

There is no date yet for 1.8.

Probably 1.8 will be released soon after FPC 3.0.2.

I still have some open issues for 1.8. The really important is only one 
- High DPI. I couldn't work on it recently but IMO I should be able to 
finish it (to a reasonable state) until reasonable time.

Another one is "AnchorDocking + docked form designer + desktops" but 
this will have to be postponed (I am not working on it).

And desktops need some polishment but that can be postponed as well.

Hi List.

I ran into this situation by random - but examplified here (using 
Lazarus IDE):




As "protected" is not a reserved word 
(http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/refse3.html#x11-100001.3) 
in any modes I think this is a bug in the highlighter.

Should I report it to the bugtracker?

Kind regard,

It is not a globally reserved word. Only in classes and similar elements
with visibility.

Note: Delphi highlights 'protected' globally too.

I tried all the debugging options: automatic; dwarf with sets; dwarf2; 
stabs; dwarf3 beta. None of them would step into the interface function 
call. fpc 3.0.0 / laz 1.6 / gdb 7.7.1

I tested as well. I was able to step in with automatic Debugger options 
(not dwarf2). I use GDB from 1.4.2 - no idea what version it is.

That was my hope too, but fpdebug is not supported on FreeBSD (what I
use). It seems only Linux and Windows is currently supported. :-/

Thanks - no idea how you found that. :)

You (or somebody else), please teach me how searching in Mantis works.
The same goes for the Lazarus Forum. I can never find anything I search
for - even with multiple combinations of words, + sign, quoted etc...
Can it really be that hard. :-(

Having a real pascal debugger would be the killer feature.

Do you know the state of fpDebug? Who does develop it? Do you? 
https://github.com/graemeg/fpdebug doesn't show much recent progress :(

Message-ID: <001101d27cdc$49420b00$dbc62100$@proengineered.com>

I want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions and give a summary of what worked for me.  
First my background and hardware I used. I am an electronics engineer with experience in C with PIC and Cortex M3/4 ARM processors and windows with Visual Studio. I had two weeks to learn enough Linux, BeagleBone Black and Lazarus to create a demo of a graphical thermostat using a BeagleBone Black Rev C and the 800x480 5" SEEED Studio LCD with resistive touch panel.  What I finally did was the following:

1. Read most of Exploring BeagleBone by Derek Molloy. A great book that starts with very little knowledge of Linux, electronics and the BeagleBone and yet you wind up learning all the different type of programming methods including QT & GTK+ and interfacing to hardware.
2. Learned Lazarus and familiarized myself with Pascal which I learned 20+ years ago by watching the excellent School Freeware Pascal and Lazarus YouTube videos also at http://www.schoolfreeware.com/Free_Pascal_Lazarus_App_GUI_Tutorials_With_Example_Code_.html 
3. Update the BeagleBone operating system to the latest Debian Jessie with the LXQt desktop.  This is well documented at http://beagleboard.org/getting-started  
4. In Lazarus, I set the Form properties BorderStyle to bsNone, the WindowState to wsMinimized and the FormStyle to fsSystemStayOnTop and built a simple application with buttons, pictures, labels, etc. Clicked on Build to build my program.
5. In LXQt I set the startup application to run on boot by going to Preferences, then LXQt Settings, then Session Settings and finally Autostart. Clicked Add, gave the startup a name and then browsed to the Lazarus executable I built in step 4 and left the Wait for system tray box unchecked.  When I rebooted the system powered up into the application with no log on, task bar, etc.

Next I am going to explore a stripped down operating system, X11 and fpGUI to see if I can speed up the bootup time.

Thanks again, everyone who responded to my inquiry,
Ed

The one on my github page is different to the one include with Lazarus
sources. Yes, other "paid work" priorities has pulled me away from
continuing my fpdebug project. Unfortunately the name conflict is a bit
confusing too. Both share some code from a prior Duby Debugger project too.

I believe Joost and Martin are maintaining fpdebug included with Lazarus
(<laz>/components/fpdebug/).

Subject: [Lazarus] StringGrid & Accented characters
Message-ID: <48985827-70e5-8836-15aa-455e302c3535@de-brouwerij.be>

Hi,

I need to bulk-create a number of accounts for some service. The data I 
get from an excel-file. Unfortunately, the user-names contain accents 
(e.g. é or è) which the service does not accept. So I'm trying to make a 
converter.
I thought of using a StringGrid to "LoadfromCSV", modify the cells and 
then save the grid to CSV again.
Unfortunatly, when I load the CSV, the StringGrid shows strange 
characters for the accented letters. Is a StringGrid capable of storing 
those accented letters ? If so, how could I change them to their plain 
equivalents ?

Any thoughts ? Thanks,

Koenraad.

Of course it is.
Notice that Lazarus defaults strings to be UTF8-encoded.
Your file probably is not.
So you must change the encoding of the strings on the fly.
And I'm afraid you will have to do so again when saving, because I
guess also the file you are creating is expected to be in windows
(cp1252) encoding.

It looks like a button that has been autosized; I must admit my feeling 
is that autosized buttons should have a minimum width, something like 
the width of a "Cancel" button, say. The general GUI convention seems to 
be to have all buttons of similar sizes, and the lazarus autosize 
algorithm produces buttons that can often look on the small side 
compared to most programs. Turning off autosizing is a bad idea because 
of the variety of system fonts.

You don't miss anything. The button is just OK.

You can use the Constraints property to set the minimum width in your 
own programs.

Indeed, though this minimum width should also depend on the font size, 
so requires some programming on each form (though maybe a single fixed 
value would work in most cases).

Constraints are scaled according to current DPI settings in Lazarus 1.7+ 
(with high DPI enabled).

If you change the Font.Size property it's your own responsibility to 
assign a valid value to Constraints.

You have to install the design-time package DateTimeCtrlsDsgn.

In the "Install/Uninstall Packages" menu in the "Installed" Window there 
is "SynEditDsgn". But other than "SynEdit 1.0" same features a small 
green "+". No Idea if this is an error indication. In the "Package Info" 
it nonetheless says "not installed" (contradicting to it's being listed 
as "installed" ????).

Doing "use" in the "open installed packages did the trick: now the 
SynEdit tab is shown. :-)

(Regarding Packages there seems to be some ambiguity with "installed" 
"used" and "loaded". )

Thanks a lot !

Message-ID: <4c3a6499-6f8b-1192-b2fd-b697dadb6882@lumino.de>

Hi SynEdit Experts,

Doing a special kind of text editor (that in fact needs to feature an 
invisible signature for each word in the text):

Is it possible to do a highlighter that results in hiding the character 
sequences found by the highlighting criterion (in fact on screen 
replaces it by a blank) ?

Can we do software that with a cursor move event gets/finds the word 
under cursor plus the invisible "highlighted" string before that word ?

Can the highlighted / invisible character sequence be protected from 
being modified by the user's text editing actions ?

Is there a way to wrap the (visible) text to a predefined line length 
(using the usual line breaks as paragraph indicator) ?

If such features are not available does it make sense to do a local fork 
of SynEdit to implement such options or would a different implementation 
be more viable ?

Thanks for any comments !

  How to actually close (destroy and free) a secondary from when

AFAIK in Lazarus dialogs is often used component TButtonPanel (Misc palette) with OK, Cancel, Close and Help buttons. These buttons are autosized with Constraints.MinWidth:=DefButtonSize.cx; (this value is taken from Themes: DefButtonSize := ThemeServices.GetDetailSize(Details); it is 75 on Qt).

Yep, perfect !

So seemingly the green cross should mean "not used". Great but 
doubleclicking moves it to the uninstalled list and there seems no means 
in the "Install/Uninstall Packages" menu to make it "used", or take you 
to the menu where it can be set to "used" (and the IDE be recompiled).

And with that the text in the Package info window in the 
"Install/Uninstall Packages" menu it should not read "not installed" but 
"not used".

(Using the current svn version of Lazarus.)

Thanks,

Hi,

thanks for your help. With gtk_window_set_focus_on_map and
gtk_window_set_accept_focusit seems to work under GTK.

   MyForm.Visible := True;
   // HACK: SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE is not implemented under GTK2, we will use
a direct GTK calls
   {$IFDEF LCLGTK2}
     GtkWindow := PGtkWindow(MyForm.Handle);
     gtk_window_set_keep_above(GtkWindow, True);
     gtk_window_set_accept_focus(GtkWindow, False);
     gtk_window_set_focus_on_map(GtkWindow, False);
     gtk_window_present(GtkWindow);
   {$ELSE}
     ShowWindow(MyForm.Handle, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE);
   {$ENDIF}

Unfortunately I discovered that under Windows SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE does not
work as I expected. So in the end, I build a form that inherits from
THintWindow. This resolves my problem.

The "Installed" was misleading. I changed to "Install".

The term "used" in this dialog is somewhat difficult, because there
are two sets of "used" IDE packages: The currently running and the
future (used when the IDE is rebuilt).
The left side (install) lists the future "used". Packages with a green
cross are new, i.e. not yet running packages.

The dialog is simple: left side will be installed.
Some packages of the right might be installed automatically due to
dependencies.

Not a highlighter, no.

But it may (not sure) be possible writing your custom wrapper to the 
textbuffer.
look at other sub classes to   TSynEditStringsLinked
Also look at TLazSynDisplayViewEx


Look in SynEditFoldedView
TLazSynDisplayFold is a TLazSynDisplayViewEx that visually adds the 
[...] at the end of a fold line.


So TLazSynDisplayViewEx is the place to modify the text.
If your TSynEditStringsLinked is  up high enough in the chain (included 
before (search for) FTheLinesView ) then most parts of synedit will see 
this as the actual text.

The TLazSynDisplayFold  is included after FTheLinesView , so for display 
only (FDisplayView)

-------------
You also must intercept all the Edit* methods in TSynEditStringsLinked . 
If the editor specifies an x pos, you must map it to the x pos with the 
invisible included and vice versa, also if the editor acts on a 
selection you may have to map the length too.

Note some functions (like matching bracket highlight) require that the 
Highlighter itself delivers tokens for the visible part only (you can 
filter them in TLazSynDisplayViewEx , but that is for painting only)

Of course if your highlighter does filter them, maybe you do not need 
TLazSynDisplayViewEx
You do need to intercept all the Edit* calls. (And watch id new ones get 
added in future)

not yet
again, all the elements from above will be involved.

the tricky bit is to create a map between real line num and wrapped line 
num.
this must be fast for
- lookup in both direction
- insert/remove/change of rows
A normal array may not be efficient enough. (it may be for you, but not 
to include for everyone)

Martin, thanks a lot.

So in fact there is some hope to tweak SynEdit for the task at hand.

If so, it seems that this is a better idea than to write a new Editor 
from scratch.

Thanks again,

Message-ID: <CAH=meXV=F1vSzfKZKk4enNsOXgBZnioEU2Cgzt8vkoGOkFSBGA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

A simple question, is it ok to use a TDataModule for non-visual components
that can be shared among forms (and generally contain app-wide stuff)?
There doesn't seem to be a plain TModule or something like that. I ask
because the docs do not make the distinction clear (the name doesn't help)
and the wiki has it in the database section.

I suspect this is the case and in Delphi/Embarcadero docs it explicitly
mentions that you can use it for non-database components, i just want to
make it sure it wont blow up in the future (and that there isn't another
way to create non-visual components from the IDE) because i just realized
that TDataModule can be used like that (currently i'm creating
non-form-specific components either in the main form or manually via code
in a dedicated unit).

My use case is a few custom non-visual components which can be shared among
forms (and to decouple the logic from the form when it has nothing to do
with it).

Hi,

Is it possible to embed a font for a GUI application in Lazarus in a
platform independent way? I've been looking on the internet and I only
found windows specific solutions so far.

You already know the windows way, so I'll omit it.

With qt you can use QFontDatabase_addApplicationFont, e.g.

uses qt4;
...
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var ws:WideString;
begin
   ws:='/file/with/the/font.ttf';
   QFontDatabase_addApplicationFont(@ws)
end;


There's also a addApplicationFontFromData if you want to load the font 
from a resource.

With GTK you can use fontconfig, e.g.

uses fontconfig;
....
function FcConfigAppFontAddFile(config:pointer; 
fname:Pchar):FcBool;stdcall;external 'libfontconfig.so';

....
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
   res: FcBool;
begin
   res:=FcConfigAppFontAddFile(nil,'/file/with/the/font.ttf');
end;


There isn't a function to load the font from data, so if you want to use 
resources I guess you should save it to a temporary file and load the 
font from it.

What I couldn't find is a way to know if the application is using qt or 
gtk (or win): LCLWidgetType is an ide macro, not a define.

Great.

But maybe that should be made clear in the docs like Embarcadero's docs
mention? Because both the wiki and the name imply a database orientation.

Yep. But if there are some that have a green cross (meaning "known" but 
not used/intstalled, as said SynEditDsgn claims: "Current state: 
selected for installation, not installed, RunAndDesignTime" ) the "save 
and rebuild" button is deactivated and so I can't make them "used" (or 
installed) in this dialog.

(BTW.:  this situation is triggered by "make clean all" for Lazarus.)

There's no Server and Port entries in such dialog ?

As far as I can say there are not.
See also 
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Seattle/en/Vcl.DBLogDlg.LoginDialogEx

Server and Port you must specify in TSQLConnection component.
When LoginPrompt is also set then DBLogin dialog registered in callback 
LoginDialogExProc will be called upon connecting ... asking from user 
UserName and Password.

But if there will be demand for such functionality I think, we can add 
extended dialog ... but it will require more work
(at least add also Database input box not only Server and Port and pass 
parameters forth and back to original TSQLConnection component)

Hmm...

B.t.w.: if I hold down the capsLock key I only see repeated KeyDowns

Hi,

Any hints or tips on how to copy files and folders to the clipboard in a
platform independent way. The catch is that the user should be able to
copy/paste the copied file or folder in the native file explorer.

Subject: [Lazarus] Run parameters
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.10.1702111113470.5227@home.telenet.be>


Hello,

Currently, the options specified in 'Run - Parameters' are stored in the
project.lpi file.

I have always found this a strange choice.
What is the rationale for this decision ?

Logically, I would I think these parameters belong in the .lps file ?
For example: a program that takes a filename. On my home PC, the file is in
one location. At work, it is in another location.

Since these parameters are in the lpi file, they also gets checked in into git or svn, 
when in fact nothing has necessarily changed in my project if I just 
did a debug session with different parameters... Thus causing many false
'modified' notifications, or often worse, conflicts when 2 different command-lines
exist.

Some programs accept a --username or --password option. I had several cases
where my username/password were saved in a .lpi file and checked in, thus
exposing my credentials to collegues...

So, would it be an option to have the run parameters saved in the .lps file?
This would avoid many of the pitfalls.

Michael.

Some projects need the same run parameters on all machines.
For example instantfpc projects can't run with the default run
params.

 
> Logically, I would I think these parameters belong in the .lps file ?

I agree, there should be an option. Or even better would be a list
of run modes.

Some developers using build modes suggested to have different run
parameters per build mode. So it would be nice if the list and build
modes can be connected. For example when switching the build mode, the
IDE automatically switches the run mode too.

For example, testsuites. I keep setting the --suite=TestA.MethodXYZ. 
My collegue sets it to --suite=TestB.MethodC. 
It gives me conflicts every time I update from SVN.

And in this case you almost never use the same command-line twice.

Don't get overenthousiastic. Keep it simple :)

The trouble with a list is that you must maintain it, just as the build
modes. I don't want that.

So if you do decide to introduce it, please keep it optional, as the build
modes.

Not to say there is already a list, namely the history mechanism.

Well.  If you can give a global option

Save "run parameter" settings in
[*] .lpi file
[ ] .lps file 
[ ] run modes
[ ] build mode

I will be satisfied. 
You could use the ones in .lpi as a fallback, in case they are not set in
the .lps

I think having a list for run modes (i assume you mean the settings you
specify in the Run -> Run Parameters dialog box) that you can select from a
popup menu near the "play" button and have different run modes apply, like
you can select the build mode from the "gear" button, is a good idea. Being
able to switch configuration files and working directories from inside
Lazarus for some of the tools i work with would be very nice.

The only thing i disagree with is to have them per build mode since chances
are you'd need them with different build modes (e.g. debug, release,
profile, etc would have the same run modes) and even if you could copy
them, it would still be an annoyance to make sure all are available.

Instead i'd say to have a table with a column per build mode and a row per
run mode, have checkboxes for those that will apply and those checkboxes
would be enabled by default.

Alternatively just use a global list that is the same across all build
modes, but then you may have run modes that do not apply in all build modes
and have them take up space (e.g. if one of your run modes causes a program
to load a 32bit DLL and you are in a build mode that explicitly targets a
64bit OS this run mode wouldn't apply - of course one case wouldn't matter
much, but the next thing i imagine after such a feature is available is
being able to generate run modes automatically though a script :-P).

If you want a list, I would simply allow to make a list as you suggest, 
and for each build mode you can simply specify which item in the 
list is used as default when pressing run. Being able to specify multiple
run modes per build mode seems way overkill to me.

I don't want to end up with Eclipse, where you need a Phd in Eclipse to be
able to do even simple tasks in the IDE...

The problem of not associating build modes with run modes is that not all
run modes will apply to all build modes. Note that i don't think run modes
should be *part* of build modes, but only an association between build
modes and run modes. Basically, what you say about a default run mode per
build mode, i say to make it a list of what is *not* (from a UI perspective
you'll see them as what is part, but only store what is not so that when
you add a new run mode it is available to all build modes without the user
needing to go at each one and enable it).

I fully agree, they should be stored in the .lps - I don't care about
lists or build modes and all that jazz. The accidental committing of
user credentials into a code repository has bitten me a few times. The
same goes for commit conflicts after getting a repository update because
other developers tested with different parameters. All very annoying.

The options for this behaviour are under
'Editor-Display-Markup and Matches'  "Highlight of word under Caret"

And then the checkbox:
'Disable timer for markup current word'

Hi.

Can someone explain this to me. I'm testing the use of TIniPropStorage 
and I like it.
But this I don't understand. The use of WriteBoolean i.e. only works in 
OnSaveProperties and not in OnSavingProperties. I like this direct 
method above the use of 'StoredValue[] := BoolToStr().

I've got a bit of diagnostic code that I add to most programs that 
retrieves things like Subversion revision numbers and link-time build 
ID. It also contains

(*$IFDEF LCLQT *)
	  widV= 'Linked with the Qt widget set';
   (*$DEFINE WIDGETSET *)
(*$ENDIF       *)
(*$IFDEF LCLFPGUI *)
	  widV= 'Linked with the FPGUI widget set';
   (*$DEFINE WIDGETSET *)
(*$ENDIF       *)

and so on.

Presumably LCLQT and the rest are defined somewhere in the IDE or LCL, 
but where can I find this so that I can make sure that my code's kept in 
step?

They are defined in the LCL package. See "package options -> usage -> 
custom" and "Compiler Options -> Custom Options".

OK, Thanks. So I can see how I can derive the names etc. from that, it 
appears to have been supported since the dawn of time, and linking to it 
is still going to be no more intrusive than some of the other stuff 
that's already in my diagnostic unit.

But out of curiosity, I'd still be very interested to know how the 
compile-time definitions like the ones in my example are generated :-)

Hi,

i searched some time for such a component ... in vain!

So i developed myself a TStringGrid,  that sorts columns with TDate, 
TTime, TFloat ...

I can't believe that this doesn't allready exists for Lazarus?!

For example i found http://www.tkweb.eu/en/delphicomp/kgrid.html
BUT!! "Written as TCustomControl descendant, this is not a TCustomGrid 
enhancement"
So, no LoadFromCSV etc ... very bad!

Some sort of TSortGrid from Delphi-Zip would be nice.

Tipps are welcome!

Hi,
IMO such sorting is not very handy. TStringGrid is for strings.
Consider what you do:
1) you have some data structure - dates, floats, integers
2) you fill stringgrid with the data


Now you need to sort. You have three possibilities:
1) Sort data structure and fill string grid again - better
or
2) Convert string from string grid back to data, and sort - worse
or
3) do not use stringgrid at all and use DBGrid or DrawGrid - the best

The LCL package has this in custom definitions for dependent packages:

-dLCL -dLCL$(LCLWidgetType)

So Lazarus simply defines the LCL and LCL<widgettype> at compile time.
<widgettype> is one of the subdirectories in lcl/interfaces.

TWidgetGrid from MSEgui supports it. There TDataEdit descendendants 
(TStringEdit, TRealEdit, TDateEdit...) can be placed in the grid and build a 
column of the given type. TwidgetGrid does not inherit from TStringGrid but 
from TCustomGrid. There is also TDBWidgetGrid which connects to a 
TDatasource.

The code is here:

Subject: [Lazarus] allow/Deny user to show form
Message-ID: <CAMeLTweG-=Qf_2Aa_WGiUc5y0qfNNcAU49bpJKW_r8YuERrzUQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all!

I'm rewriting the security system of my project, and I extended the support
of my secure controls to all standard controls of Lazarus, including TForm
and TFrame classes.

The default behavior of all controls is if the user is not allowed to
interact with it, the control is disabled, otherwise it's enabled.

But with TForm, I have two ways of allow/Deny:

** Enable/disable whole form (done).
** Allow show if user is allowed to show the form, or hide/close if the
user log out of the system or not authorized to view the form.

My problem is: What's the best TForm method to override to abort form show
via TForm.Show and TForm.ShowModal calls?

Try the TsWorksheetGrid from the fpspreadsheet package 
(http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/TsWorksheetGrid). It derives from 
TCustomGrid, but be warned of some different behavior from the 
StringGrid here and there.

What is it good for?

I see that Delphi has it: 
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE7/en/Vcl.Dialogs.TCustomTaskDialog.OnTimer

I didn't add this feature yet.

You MainIcon and FooterIcon. Unfortunately they are interger properties 
(as it is in Delphi) but I will probably change it to enum (and 
introduce a Delphi incompability).

What you probably should do is create a function to show a form of any
class for you, and put that security check in that one place.

Example:

function ShowForm(FormClass: TFormClass; Modal: Boolean = False): Boolean;
begin
  // your global function to check if a user can access a form class
  Result := UserSecurityCheck(FormClass);
  if Result then
    // make sure FormClass close action is caFree
    with FormClass.Create(Application) do
      if Modal then
        Result := ShowModal = mrOk
      else
        Show;
end;

Message-ID: <CAMeLTweNqPB=4eAzjP=xY8=Ks3y9bB6fbQjUVPtN2ENcHRbvbw@mail.gmail.com>

I don't know if the solution that I implemented last night is the best one.
I did the following:


//FIsEnabledBySecurity: the user can access the control? this variable is
changed via another call, when user login or logout, checking the
authorizations of the logged user.
//FAllowUnauthorizedShowForm: value of a property that sets if not allowed
users can show the form or not.
procedure TpSCADASecureForm.SetVisible(Value: boolean); override;
begin
  FIsPSCADAFormVisible:=Value;
  inherited SetVisible(FIsPSCADAFormVisible and (FIsEnabledBySecurity or
FAllowUnauthorizedShowForm));
end;

this do the job very well, showing and hiding the form across user
login/logout changes, even if I call

TsomePSCADAFormInstance = class(TpSCADASecureForm);
somePSCADAFormInstance:TsomePSCADAFormInstance;

somePSCADAFormInstance.Visible := true;
somePSCADAFormInstance.Show;

but when I call

somePSCADAFormInstance.ShowModal;

I got a Exception that says that somePSCADAFormInstance is not enabled
(that is true, because I have a access try of a not allowed user), but this
exception is not the real cause of the problem, that is access of a not
allowed user or a not logged user.

My solution at this point is override the ShowModal:

//FSecurityCode is a property with a string that describes the permission
that you will give or not for each user
//GetPascalSCADAControlSecurityManager: class instance that manages the
control interaction with users and their permissions, 44
//Each control that supports the interface ISecureControlInterface, should
register/unregister with this manager, to be notified about user
changes/permission changes.
function TpSCADASecureForm.ShowModal: Integer; override;
begin
  if GetPascalSCADAControlSecurityManager.CanAccess(FSecurityCode)=false
then
    raise ESecuritySystemAccessDenied.Create(FSecurityCode);

  Result:=inherited ShowModal;
end;


What is your opinion?

To autoclose form, if e.g. app wants to show 8 seconds, and then do YES. 
e.g "Reboot OS now? Waiting 30 sec"

Hi,

the gzip'd archive stops at May 2016. When will the Lazarus archives 
afterwards be gzip'd ?

I use the very useful "Lazarus Mailinglist Reader" and that needs these 
gzip'd archives.

Isn't that done automatic? Does the gzip'd stops due to an error?

Please get yourself the latest revision of Lazarus Mailinglist Reader. I 
realized that issue a couple of weeks ago and modified the reader to 
download also unzipped txt files.

Hi,

Is the following allowed in LCL specific code?


{$IFDEF LCLGTK2}
  {$IF declared(Linux) or declared(FreeBSD)}
   {$define something}
  {$endif}
{$endif}


The IDE shows that CodeTools knows about the FreeBSD variable, but the
code doesn't seem to work, because later in the code the "something"
compiler define seems undefined during compilation - yet the IDE
correctly shades the {$IFDEF something} wrapped code as active.


Regards,
  Graeme

Doing the following though does work, but it means I have to duplicate
all $DEFINE lines in two places, which I don't really want to do.


{$IFDEF LCLGTK2}
  {$IFDEF Linux}
    {$DEFINE something}
    ...snip.
  {$ENDIF}
  {$IFDEF FreeBSD}
    {$DEFINE something}
    ...snip.
  {$ENDIF}
{$ENDIF}

Well, you mixed up DEFINED and DECLARED macros. The following should work:

{$IFDEF LCLGTK2}
   {$IF DEFINED(Linux) or DEFINED(FreeBSD)}
    {$define something}
   {$endif}
{$endif}

 In Lazarus trunk, the message window and object inspector is alwas on top and hides everything thats behind it. It also hides the code completion window (ctrl+space) so you cant read some of it. See screenshot. This happened 1-2 months ago.
I was about to report this in the bugtracker when I saw that it is only for up to Laz 1.63 SVN, not the trunk.

It works for me and for many other people. It must be a local config
or build issue of some sort.

I can see "1.7 (SVN)" there. It may be a user rights issue. All data
may not be visible for everybody even if it should.
Anyway, don't report unless somebody else can reproduce.

I have the same environment, and it does not happen here ?
(I do work in KDE, but the IDE is gtk2)

This shouldn't happen. Run the IDE in another IDE to debug it, set the 
breakpoint to TCustomForm.Show and take a look what makes the message 
window go to foreground.

Hi again. This issue exist only with Lazarus trunk and started a few months ago. Release and fixes doesn't have that problem. If I back down a few revisions, the "always on top" stops. So it is highly unlikely that rights, builds, configs or similar has anything to do with it. I don't know exactly when (or why) this was introduced. Could prolly track it down, but already spent a weeks share of time with the "Iron curtain bug". ;-)

Btw, closing the "always on top" Message Window to be able to view the obscured code completion list hangs the list window and Lazarus has to be restarted. Linux GTK2.

Subject: [Lazarus] Castle Game Engine 6.0 released
Message-ID: <CAKzBGZP+nYbEERg1ZbuM9Pe1dMWpVUQqrnzJtzh59-BSOJAKRA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

We're proud to release Castle Game Engine 6.0, an open-source 3D and
2D game engine for Object Pascal.

This release is a culmination of more than a year of intensive engine
development. The main feature is that almost every part of the engine
got significant improvement, and we have more "new features" than you
probably care to read about:)

You can download the engine, and read the documentation, from

  https://castle-engine.sourceforge.io/

The release annoucement, with more complete list of changes, is on

  https://castle-engine.sourceforge.io/wp/2017/02/18/castle-game-engine-6-0-release/

Some highlights of the new features:

- New user interface features: auto-scaling, parents, anchors, many
new components and properties,

- New build tool features: automatic generation and usage of
GPU-compressed and downscaled textures, --mode=valgrind,

- A large number of "Android package components", that provide an
integration with various 3rd party Android libraries on Android
(Google Play Games, In-app Purchases, sound libraries, ad networks,
analytics, vibrations...),

- New castle-anim-frames format, with a Blender exporter, to export
*any* animations from Blender to our engine (armature, shape keys,
baking physics simulations, ....).

Also, the website, and the manual on
https://castle-engine.sourceforge.io/manual_intro.php, received a lot
of additions and changes.

Last but not least, I wanted to mention our new Patreon page. You can
support the engine development and get some real rewards --- I'm
devoting a weekend per month exclusively to the features requested by
Patrons, you can get access to the "cloud build server" (continous
integration) for your game projects, and I will have a 24h gamejam
every month making a demo game requested by Patrons. Please check out
our Patreon page on:

  https://www.patreon.com/castleengine

P.S. Everything compiles with the today's announced FPC version 3.0.2
(and other FPC versions too) of course. Congratulations to the FPC
team!

Best regards,
Michalis

The fpc-3.0.2.i386-win32.cross.arm-wince.exe seems to be corrupted.

"The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program."

(I already thought it was a bit small, it's only 4.9 MB)

Tried both SF and the hungarian ftp site.

Note: MS Security Essentials flags this file as virus/malware.

I had already seen it on the forum, and reported it to win32 builder Pierre;
there were some issues with full disks during uploading.

I assume it will be resolved in the current days.

Pierre has uploaded it to ftp.hu.freepascal.org (scenergy), and is uploading
it to sf.net.

I'll see if I can sync freepascal.stack.nl

I can confirm that I am seeing this bug (messages window always on top), 
and that the applying gtk2_modaldlg1.patch from that bug report fixes it 
for for me. I am using the XFCE window manager on Fedora.

Please open a bugreport about it.
Mention the revision that caused this for you.
Don't forget to mention you use XFCE, it may be significant.

No need, the issue has been discussed on mantis 
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13051 . It was a consequence of a 
wrong patch from the issue report.

I commited a fix.

Message-ID: <2c4132aa-b5f9-870e-11ba-0f98379429fd@freenet.de>

Hi

I am having a bunch of updates for ccr, but all of a sudden I cannot 
commit anything to sourceforge any more since yesterday. The error 
message is: "Commit failed (details follow): Unable to connect to a 
repository at URL 
'https://svn.code.sf.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/components/colorpalette'. 
Error running context: Es konnte keine Verbindung hergestellt werden, da 
der  Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte." - the German part of the 
message means: "Connection could not be created, refused by the 
destination computer".

Even checking out from the read-only server 
(svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/) fails with a similar message.

A ping to svn.code.sf.net is successful, and I did not find any 
notifications about sourceforge server problems in the internet.

Is anybody else seeing these issues as well? Or, if this is a local 
issue of my account or my local computer, has anybody ever experienced 
something similar and can give me some advice on how to resolve it?

Werner

Now I had the (straightforward...) idea to look for "sourceforge 
service", and there's a lot of tickets on this issue 
(https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/). So, hopefully they will 
fix it soon...

If only everybody used Git, then it would be business as usual without
any downtime. ;-)

ps:
  Git repos can be relocated (even if temporarily) in an instant

Subject: [Lazarus] LCL High-DPI
Message-ID: <0760cd28-8fee-33d7-aa2a-823dcf5d6466@kluug.net>

I'd like to announce that I finished the concept of DPI scaling in 
Lazarus / LCL.

It's quite easy for the programmer. Documented here: 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/High_DPI (details are in "High DPI in 
Lazarus 1.7 and above").

1.) I made the Lazarus IDE High-DPI aware - the IDE itself and its 
windows should scale correctly.

2.) To make your own application use the new LCL scaling and to make 
sure your layouts don't get destroyed, do the following:

a.) Make sure you don't change the system DPI settings during the proccess.
b.) Update the IDE to the latest trunk and rebuild it.
c.) Open your project in the IDE.
d.) Enable LCL scaling for your application DPI awarness in Project 
Options -> Application -> "Use LCL scaling (Hi-DPI).
e.) On Windows: enable DPI awarness in Project Options -> Application. 
Decide if you want to support per monitor DPI awarness or not.
f.) Make sure TForm.Scaled=True for all your forms (default value).
g.) Make sure you use TControl.ScaleCoord() or ScaleCoord96() to scale 
coordinates during the run-time.

And you are ready. Your forms will scale both in runtime and design time 
nicely.

For those who followed my last announcement: as Zeljko and Michael 
requested, I removed the LCLScaleForms define and introduced the 
Application.Scaled property instead (that you set in step 2d). The 
default value is Application.Scaled=False.

If you keep Application.Scaled=False, there won't be any changes in your 
application.

Please report issues or comment on problems. I have still time to change 
things until Lazarus 1.8 is out (you can expect RC1 in April).

Subject: [Lazarus] GUI freeze under GTK2
Message-ID: <977611487623042@web13h.yandex.ru>

Hi all

Recently, I've started experiencing rather nasty bug - my GUI application started freezing when scrolling VirtualTreeView component vertically using scrollbar.
VTV itself is rather old version (last commit from May 17 2015). FPC and Lazarus are from trunk, svn rev.35396 and rev.54204.
I am under Gentoo x64, gtk2 widgetset, gtk+ library v2.24.31-r1.

When paused after freezing, callstack always shows the following stack trace. So I assume there is some infinite loop running.

'default' is the same in all encodings. It does not matter if you use
SameText, CompareText or AnsiCompareText. Btw, SameText uses
CompareText.

Can you try attached unit source file? You need to add in your main 
program sources before any LCL units and after cthreads/cmem units.

yes, it is right, I want to make diff, which uses SameText in all

As I wrote, SameText is merely a slightly slower version of
CompareText.
What are you up to?

Hi Ondrej!

Your work has made a major improvement in Lazarus.  It is much more 
enjoyable to use.  I have converted my most recent major APP using it 
and it was mostly straight forward.

I will continue using it and report back to you as my work permits.

Thank you,

Don Ziesig

One more question.  Where can I find documentation for 
TControl.ScaleCoord() or ScaleCoord96()?  It is not in the CCR.  I will 
search the source.

The difference is in the scale basis:
ScaleCoord96: hard-coded 96.
ScaleCoord: DesignTimePPI (= the PPI of the IDE - be aware that it can 
change if you open your project on a different system with different DPI).

ScaleCoord96 is to use for hard-coded values in 96 PPI.

I'll document the functions in the CCR.

Hi Ondrej!

I just ran into two issues with the IDE in High-DPI mode.

The IDE main window changed from yesterday (when I first used it) to 
today.  Yesterday all of the Buttons were larger (but the internal 
images were still small).  Today the Buttons have returned to their 
small sizes.  The internal images are still small).



I don't know what caused the change.

The "Watch Properties" window is erroneously scaled for the font.




Thanks,

Don Ziesig

Strange, it looks good here (the latest revision):

I've been working on High DPI today so maybe it was broken at some point 
during the day (?)

Very strange.  I looked at all of the Form DesignTimePPI and they were 
set to 96!  I shut down Lazarus and re-started it and they all changed 
back to 144 (and the little buttons got big!).  My forms all look good 
again except for the "Watch Properties".

I'll keep trying and let you know.

Message-ID: <78d27332-a44c-98f1-a896-7a14c76b1f81@kluug.net>

Update: I worked further today (unfortunately...)

I also added icon scaling support to the IDE. The IDE now can load 150% 
and 200% versions of the icons. If a High-DPI icon is missing, the 
normal icon is upscaled (with the worst algorithm, but that's what is 
available in the IDE).

Request: search for volunteers who would add at least the most important 
IDE icons (open, save, desktops - basically what is visible in the 
coolbars). Please see images/README.txt for more info.

Note: the High-DPI icons are used only from 144DPI (150%) upwards. 
120DPI (125%) uses the original icons (which is default on Windows, AFAIK).

Thanks
Ondrej

In my program the "Procedure List" function (Ctrl+G) does not
 list functions that are subfunctions of other functions.
 Is there a restriction to show only functions of level depth 1?
 If yes, why?
 I did not found any options influencing this.

The LCL doesn't offer an automatic feature for that. You have to do it 
yourself - use different image lists for different scaling or load 
external images in the wanted scaling. The IDE does the same.

I don't know if an automatic solution (one multi-resolution image list) 
is even possible - because e.g. some Win32 controls require usage of the 
Win32-native imagelist.

Message-ID: <4a11c73c-e6cb-7eea-14dd-6415c96c34d0@geldenhuys.co.uk>

Hi,

I know v1.3 is an old version, but for specific reasons I can't upgrade
(yet). Anyway, in this version of Lazarus (running under Windows), if I
Ctrl+LeftClick, it jumps to the declaration of a
method/procedure/function, and not actual implementation.

Now in my Lazarus v1.3 I did see under IDE Options -> Editor -> Mouse,
there is a "Ctrl Button" under the "Left 1" settings, which is set to
"Jumps to implementation", but it actually jumps to the declaration
(same as Alt+UpArrow behaviour).

Is there some other setting I need to change so Ctrl+LeftClick actually
jumps to the implementation, or was this simply a bug in v1.3 which was
later fixed? I have a Laz v1.7 running under FreeBSD where the
Ctrl+LeftClick behaviour is correct - it jumps to the actual implementation.


Regards,
  Graeme

It wasn't a bug but a missing feature. You surely can find the issue on 
mantis and maybe apply the commits to your 1.3 version as the commits 
didn't use anything fancy.

I am using the last official release of Lazarus (1.6.2) on Windows 8.1.
It does not show deeper nested functions.

Yes, you are right. It's Alt+G (not Ctrl+G).

Technically it's user configurable, so can be anything. ;-)  Mine is set

I just tested Lazarus 1.6 under Wine and I can confirm. It does not show nested procs and funcs at all. Someone else should test to find out if it is Windows only issue or if there were improving between 1.6.2 and 1.7. (There is mentioned that the autor of Procedure List is Graeme.)

Subject: [Lazarus] statusbar flickers
Message-ID: <a062f0e4-6ad4-3684-2144-69a8a1b3fd2f@gmail.com>

Hello,

I have an issue with TStausBar, when I update the text in a panel fastly 
it starts flickering.

To test it, drop a label a button and a statusbar with at least one 
panel on a form.
Then add this code to ButtonClick.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
   i: integer;
begin
   i:= 0;
   while i < 10000 do
   begin
     Application.ProcessMessages;
     label1.Caption:= Format('Number: %d', [i]);
     statusbar1.Panels[0].Text:= Format('Number: %d', [i]);
     Inc(i);
   end;
end;

Tlabel does not flickers, Tstatusbar flickers.
Tested on windows.

Is it a known issue? Should I create a bug-report?

Best regards,
Andrea Mauri

I tested with Lazarus v1.3 and Lazarus v1.7. I can confirm that older
Lazarus versions seem to limit itself to only top-level (depth of 1)
methods, functions and procedures. It does work correctly in v1.7 though.

I can also confirm that the original Procedure List implementation
didn't use CodeTools internally - it had its own parser - and with that
code it listed all methods/procedures/functions, no matter the nested
depth. See attached screenshot.

So I guess somewhere when Procedure List was converted to using
CodeTools, this bug got introduced. It was definitely not the intent.

Maybe a small patch can be applied to your Lazarus to resolve the issue
locally. Maybe compare your version of Lazarus to the latest Procedure
List in trunk and see what is done differently with CodeTools. I haven't
looked at the Procedure List code in a very long time. If I have the
time I'll try and take a look, but I'm extremely busy at the moment, so
no guarantees.

Regards,
  Graeme

Hi Ondrej!

I downloaded the latest lazarus from svn. Then make bigide.

When I started lazarus, the CoolBar is empty (except for the Save icon 
which is the correct size).  The component icons are definitely bigger 
than the last version, but appear more like 125% rather than the 150% 
that I would expect for 144 dpi.

I rebuilt the laz_images.res (at least the file time stamp changed) and 
the ide but there was no change in the empty CoolBar.

images/README.txt says:

To use a high-DPI icon, register the icon with the suffix "_150" (150%) 
or "_200" (200%). See e.g. actions/laz_save_150.png

How do I do that?  I can create the bigger icons with gimp and store 
them in the actions directory but that doesn't seem to help (tried this 
with the menu_run icon but it still uses the old one.

Also, in the sub-menus there is only ONE icon (for File|Save).

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Don

Hi Ondrej!

I have a new issue this time with the "Watch List".

The contents of the form are empty!   There is no menu, no expression, 
nothing.  When I right click, I get the appropriate pop-up menu which 
appears to operate correctly.  When I add watches, I get an empty 
highlight bar at the appropriate position.

After adding a few watches, it looks like this:




It worked correctly yesterday before my latest re-install for improved 
Hi-Res buttons.

I have tried this. I see no effect whatsoever ?

I have even specially opened 2 IDEs. One which is more than a year old, and
the newly compiled one. They look identical.

I checked, and I found
Application.Scaled := True;
in the sources.

I checked dpi, xrdb reports DPI 192.

Linux Mint 18.1, 64-bit, GTK 2 widgetset.

Any hints ?

Michael.

Message-ID: <f085f671-8110-32a1-f80d-acc412a0c9c9@geldenhuys.co.uk>

Hi,

I'm creating a IDE add-on package and using the IDEIntf. Now I have
access to the IDECommands global variable, but most of its methods are
abstract.

Searching the IDE source code it seems the IDECommands is often casted
to  TKeyCommandRelationList before methods are called. The
TKeyCommandRelationList is defined in the KeyMapping.pas unit.

But if I include the KeyMapping unit in my add-on package's uses clause,
that unit can't be found. So I assume there is another way to do this -
maybe another interface?

What I'm trying to do is look-up a IDE command by name, then execute
that command. All done from inside my IDE add-on package.

Regards,
  Graeme

Yes, an IDE package can only use the IDEIntf units, not the IDE code
itself.

Umm, that's exactly what I tried, but in never finds the command.

The code is as follows:

===============================
  cmd := IDECommandList.FindCommandByName('jcfAbout');
  if Assigned(cmd) then
  begin
    writeln('PASS: We found the JCF About command');
    ExecuteIDECommand(self, cmd.Command);
  end
  else
    writeln('FAIL: Unable to find JCF About command');
===============================


I have the Jedi Code Formatter package installed, and the menus are
there in the IDE. I looked at the JCF package to see what the names are
of the commands it registers. Just as a test, I'm trying to get the JCF
About dialog to pop up, which was registered wit the 'jcfAbout' command
name.

But as I said, it never finds that command.

Oh, and the above code is only triggered when I save a unit - so at that
point the IDE is fully loaded.

  Graeme

As a work-around I went through the MenuIntf, found the JCF menu.
Iterated that until I found the 'jcfAbout' menu. I then call it's
MenuItem.Click() method.

Pretty ugly, but it worked. :)  Obviously I would like to get the
Command Interface working though.

You can list all registered names with

  for c:=0 to IDECommandList.CategoryCount-1 do begin
    Cat:=IDECommandList.Categories[c];
    for i:=0 to Cat.Count-1 do
      writeln(Cat.Name,' ',TIDECommand(Cat[i]).Name);
  end;

If it is there, check its OnExecute event.

Ah, that was very useful thanks. I managed to fin the
'jcfCurrentEditorWindow' command, but there doesn't seem to be a
'jcfAbout' command. So the latter will explain why my "proof of concept"
didn't work.

Taking a closer look at the JcfIdeRegister unit, I now see my mistake.
It does indeed only register one command. The other lines are
RegisterIDEMenuCommand() calls, not the crutial RegisterIDECommand().
Dope!!!

Many thanks for helping with this and your quick responses. JCF
formatting is now triggered on every save. I did have to modify JCF
though, as the dialog prompt was annoying. I'll see if I can make that
configurable and send a patch to Mantis.

A bit late, but thank you for adding that functionality. I've now
managed to create my IDE add-on and it works.

But I noticed that with every save (Ctrl+S), the YourEvent gets called
twice?  Any idea why that is, and if it was by design or a bug?

For example, I added a simple writeln() in my event handler and ran
Lazarus from the command line to see the output. I changed a unit and
pressed Ctrl+S. The writeln() output is shown twice...

I tried both sefsBeforeWrite and sefsAfterWrite - it made no difference
to the issue of the method being called twice.

Also, what does the AddHandlerOnSaveEditorFile()'s "AtLast" parameter
mean and do?

I also set the Return result to mrOK.

Here is the whole implementation of the event handler and Register call.


==========================
procedure Register;
begin
  LazarusIDE.AddHandlerOnSaveEditorFile(@uJCFHandler.BeforeSaveCallJCF,
    False);
end;

function TJCFHandler.BeforeSaveCallJCF(Sender: TObject;
   aFile: TLazProjectFile; SaveStep: TSaveEditorFileStep;
   TargetFilename: string): TModalResult;
var
  cmd: TIDECommand;
begin
  SaveStep := sefsBeforeWrite;
  Result   := mrOk;
  cmd := IDECommandList.FindCommandByName('jcfCurrentEditorWindow');
  if Assigned(cmd) then
  begin
    writeln('PASS: We found the JCF command');
    ExecuteIDECommand(Sender, cmd.Command);
  end;
end;
==========================

I'm using Lazarus 1.7 r54157 FPC 3.0.1 x86_64-freebsd-gtk2.

  Graeme

Message-ID: <fcc60f72-8bc4-cf97-dc8d-24be030033e1@geldenhuys.co.uk>

Hi,

Are there any plans to add user recorded macros support to Lazarus IDE?

Many text editors have this built-in, and allows for a huge amount of
“extending the editor’s features” without modify the underlying
program's source code. We can simply record a sequence of actions, give
it a name, assign it a keyboard shortcut and play it back when we need
that functionality.

I was quite surprised to see Lazarus IDE doesn’t have that. Maybe I’m
simply overlooking the feature (very possible), or it’s enabled via an
external IDE package add-on?

See attached screenshot of a commercial text editor called EditPad Pro
7. It has extensive support for user recorded macros. You can even
export the macro to a INI file, edit the macro and then import it again.

Here is an example of an exported "join lines" macro.

==================
[EditPadProMacro]
Caption=Join Lines
ShortCut=16458
CommandCount=6
C0=Editor.CaretDown
C1=Editor.CaretHome
C2=Editor.CaretEnd
C3=Actions.ActionExtraTrimLeading
C4=Editor.CaretUp
C5=Editor.Backspace

[EditPadProMacroC2]
ExpandSel=1
==================

  Graeme

You set a non var parameter? Think again.

Ah, thank. That would come in handy if the IDE Options ever have a GUI
to manage such actions. eg: Eclipse has that, and that is also where I
saw this feature (format code on save).



> You set a non var parameter? Think again.

Ah, too many late nights. Thanks for that pointer.

Adding the following to the beginning of my event handler solves the
problem.

  if SaveStep = sefsAfterWrite then
    Exit;


Thanks for all your help.

You have to register them in laz_images_list.txt as well and recreate 
res files. Please read the whole README.txt, not only the last chapter.

What is you OS/WidgetSet? It looks like the icons don't scale for you - 
you are obviously getting empty icons.

I forgot about that. I'll check if it makes sense - usually you should 
set the appropriate value to Application.Scaled before creating any 
forms. I am not sure it will work reliably when it is changed during 
loading of a form.

Create an empty LCL application and check the TForm.DesignTimePPI 
property. What value does it show?

The toolbar seems to have the problem with empty icons. It's strange 
that you don't get any text either. Again, what OS/WidgetSet?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to track the culprit commit.
I tried building with year old Lazarus sources (the earliest my project builds from), but the bug was still there.
I reckon some changes in gtk/other libs triggered that.

I managed to make a fix/hack for my case though.
See attachment. Please take a look and comment.

Subject: [Lazarus] Detecting anomalous DPI
Message-ID: <o8s757$ub6$1@pye-srv-01.telemetry.co.uk>

I've just been rereading the recent discussion on Hi-DPI, and the 
relevant bits of the Wiki.

I've got a user with eyesight problems, who put a 48" TV on his desk as 
a monitor to a Linux system with KDE. Then he set the "Force fonts DPI" 
setting to something like 200, this increases the text size enormously 
but- obviously- messes up layout.

Is there any way that a standard application can pick up that an 
anomalous setting is being used? Screen.PixelsPer Inch is still 96, 
ditto for Screen.SystemFont.Pixels, Screen.SystemFont.Size is zero.

I'm not looking for a fix at this point, which I presume will be 
provided by the Hi-DPI support. But it would be very useful if a program 
could log the /actual/ DPI for support purposes.

You have these properties: TScreen.PixelsPerInch and 
TMonitor.PixelsPerInch. You surely can log them.

As I said in my original note, Screen.PixelsPerInch returns the nominal 
DPI not the override. I don't see TMonitor.PixelsPerInch documented.

So I've got a test system in front of me where the "Force fonts DPI" is 
set to 108 but Screen.PixelsPerInch still returns 96 as does 
GetDeviceCaps(dc, LOGPIXELSX).

The only thing I've found so far that does appear to vary predictably is 
the ascent and descent returned by GetTextMetrics, but I think that 
describes the fount that has been selected since it doesn't have a 
linear relationship to the DPI.

Wouldn't be better (or would it be possible) to have *.svg icons in resources and generate *.png icons on start of IDE? Now you add 150% and 200%, later will come 250, 300% as 4k, 5k and 8k monitors come to market.

Update: I worked further today (unfortunately...)
 
 I also added icon scaling support to the IDE. The IDE now can load 150% 
 and 200% versions of the icons. If a High-DPI icon is missing, the 
 normal icon is upscaled (with the worst algorithm, but that's what is 
 available in the IDE).
 
 Request: search for volunteers who would add at least the most important 
 IDE icons (open, save, desktops - basically what is visible in the 
 coolbars). Please see images/README.txt for more info.
 
 Note: the High-DPI icons are used only from 144DPI (150%) upwards. 
 120DPI (125%) uses the original icons (which is default on Windows, AFAIK).
 
 Thanks
 Ondrej

I agree.  I just spent most of two days rescaling the icons with gimp, 
then registering them.  It looks good, but I sure would not want to have 
to repeat for 200%, etc.

I use Inkscape for icons. I use some template 64*64 px (although px means nothing in vector format, it is moreless for help-grid only). Then I use rsv-convert tool to convert icons to *.png. The icons looks best with integer multiples/divisor (i.e. 16, 32, 64, 128 px etc.). The non-integer look is also accepatble (24, 48, 96 px).

integer multiples/divisor (i.e. 16, 32, 64, 128 px etc.). The non-integer
look is also accepatble (24, 48, 96 px).

At my company we design each icon size by hand as the non-integer devisions
would definitely not be acceptable due to aliasing and also the details of
the icons can more easily be adjusted to fit the icon size.
So if SVG support should be added there should always be the possibility to
do it the "hard" way as well if one wants to have pixel perfect icons.

Yes, I understand. But it also depend on the content of an icon. I added one example where the aliasing is visible.

You are welcome to implement such a feature. Low resolution icons (16px, 
24px) have to stay in PNGs due to scaling/aliasing problems. But 4k, 5k 
and 8k monitor resolutions can be handled with SVG icons.

I tested AggPas with some SVG icons and the results were not good. Icons 
that I tried couldn't be rendered at all. I am not sure fpvectorial is 
better. So first we need a good renderer and then we need a bunch of 
icons. Any help is appreciated. I won't do that.

Do you mean that you took Lazarus original 16px icons, scaled them up to 
24px one by one and registered them for Lazarus?

SVN is not ideal for icon formats. Beyond being too big (it is a verbose
XML file after all), vector icons do not good at arbitrary sizes. IMO the
best approach for vector icons is what Haiku OS is doing by using a custom
icon format that is designed for small sizes and -more importantly-
different elements in an icon can have a LOD range so that some elements
will be hidden in small sizes and others hidden in large sizes.

Details and an example for LOD is here:

https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/icon-o-matic.html

The icon with the four colored triangles only show numbers in large sizes
and in small sizes the outline is replaced with a thicker one that is still
visible despite the small size (the original outline would be a smudge at
the smallest size).

More technical details for Haiku's format can be found here:

http://blog.leahhanson.us/post/recursecenter2016/haiku_icons.html

Of course this is probably the hardest approach to take (at minimum one
would need to make an editor for such icons), but IMO if a DPI-agnostic is
to be made, it is better to go with the technically superior approach if
such a solution is to remain around for years.

(note that i do not think that using the haiku format directly is a good
idea by itself, i'm just giving it as an example)

AFAIK SVG itself does not support LODs, although it is possible to emulate
it if the SVG loader supports CSS and media queries so one could use
something like @media screen and (max-width: 32px) for selecting 32px and
below sizes. With multiple of these one can adjust properties like stroke
widths and hide elements. But i'm not sure if any non-browser SVG loader
even support CSS, let alone CSS with media queries.

Regardless if there is support for that, information can be found here for
LOD:

http://w3c.github.io/svgwg/specs/svg-authoring/

(search for 2.6. Responsive Images)

FWIW personally i think a dedicated format for vector icons (like what
Haiku uses) would be a better idea in the long term.

Indeed, Haiku came up with a very clever system that seems to work
really well.

Message-ID: <1d1f8364-c75c-1540-4361-9c4a28219d7f@gmail.com>

Hello,

In the last days I was working in something like an animation library 
that allows me to perform flashing messages, collapsable panels, and 
other simple animation effects.

The pre-requisites are no threading involved, it must be able to animate 
anything (abstraction) and life cycle must be handled by the engine.

Finally I end with and alpha version which I wish to share with the 
community to get a bit of feedback before include it in Lazarus CCR or 
maybe in LCL itself.

The current code has two "libraries", the "uanimationbasic" which 
handles the objects life cycle and coordinate operations and a derived 
"uanimationcontrol" with a series of animations to be used in form controls.

As demos uses images the size of the package are quite big to be 
included in this email so you can download it from:

http://dyn.consultem.org/jfanimlib.zip (268 Kb).

Attached screenshot of controls sample.

It has been tested with Lazarus 1.6 and fpc 3.0.0 in Windows, but Linux 
should work also.

I get an error on uanimationcontrol.pas, line 621:


     NRect.Width:=CalculateLinearPosition(FInitialRect.Width,FFinalRect.Width,GetElapsedMilliseconds,FDuration);
     NRect.Height:=CalculateLinearPosition(FInitialRect.Height,FFinalRect.Height,GetElapsedMilliseconds,FDuration);

fpc 3.0.0, linux 64 bit.

I tried to compile the "Animated Controls Sample" project and got the

FPC 3.0.2 should have it (through a class helper).

Hello,

Correct, swapped compilers :-( a few days ago :-(. Just change 
declaration of NRect from TRect to TAnimationRect and a bit below the:

DoMoveControlAsRect(NRect);

to:

DoMoveControlAsRect(NRect.GetAsRect);

That was also my experience. At work we use svg images and I wrote my own (limited) the svg parser and render the images with aggpas.
For us this parser is OK, but it lacks a lot of svg features

Before I read your reply I simply adjusted the code as follows (which
worked):

    NRect.Right := NRect.Left +
CalculateLinearPosition(FInitialRect.Width,FFinalRect.Width,GetElapsedMilliseconds,FDuration);
    NRect.Bottom := NRect.Top +
CalculateLinearPosition(FInitialRect.Height,FFinalRect.Height,GetElapsedMilliseconds,FDuration);


The sample program runs and all animations (except "Alpha bend this
form" functionality) works. Two points though:

1) The FPS counter in the form title doesn't seem to function. Instead
   of a FPS counter it seems to simply be a counter that constantly
   grows.

2) I have a 4 core system with hyper threading (ie: 4 cores and 4
   virtual cores). Your sample application maxed out all 8 cores at
   100% CPU load. Not really acceptable behaviour for a desktop
   application I would think. ;-)

Precisely! :-D

I tried to use Script-fu on Gimp, but I thought it would take me longer

Hmmm... I must review it, in Windows works but maybe in Linux (not using 
getperformancecounter) it simply goes crazy.

The library animate controls properties, like position and color at the 
rate set by the "tmrAnimationCadence" timer. Maybe Linux LCL takes ages 
to update control positions or the backend widgetset. The CPU use for 
the library operations are almost 0% but repaint the form is CPU 
intensive specially in Linux, based in your observations. There is no 
reason that more than one core is used (no threading) so the widgetset 
or LCL interface is pushing it to its limits.

You can try to remove the "Self.Refresh" in the tmrAnimationCadence 
event and also raise the tmrAnimationCadence.Interval to 30 (in the 
published code its value is 1, but it should be 15, but in Windows 
difference between 15 and 1 is zero, in Linux you can set timers with 1 
ms. precision which is terrible overkill).

I put it on 30, but as with Graeme, the CPU goes to well over 100%
(2 cores are involved in the process, or so it seems)

Instead of Repaint it should use Invalidate.

And when changing multiple LCL properties, you should enclose it in
DisableAutoSizing/EnableAutoSizing.

For example:
  DisableAlign;
  AnimationQueue.PaintAll;
  EnableAlign;

I have found some interesting working Generics construct. I want to 
translate this code to Lazarus, but there are Generics often used.
In Delphi Berlin the following ist working, the inner array of Integer 
is normally 6 integer long, but once 7 integer and can filled in such 
way. Is it possible to do something similar in Lazarus ? Or how can i 
rewrite this to to the same in Lazarus/FPC

Message-ID: <faa20e66-2a47-23f4-dc46-6bc9a9874f64@geldenhuys.co.uk>

Hi,

Is there an actual JCF (included with Lazarus) maintainer? I've recently
been using it quite a bit and noticed a couple of problems. I'll
obviously try and fix them myself (free time is very limited, but I'll
try my best).

The two most important ones for me:

* Some code formatting is not applied (ignored) based on configuration
  settings.
* Some configuration changes are not persisted, so user defined options
  can't actually be applied in the code formatting.

Regards,
  Graeme

Hello,

I'll investigate a bit why in Windows it takes low CPU usage but in 
Linux it overload CPU, maybe too much FPS or the Linux LCL behavior 
should be handled in a bit different way.

Thank you for your tests.

Hello,

Invalidate queues a paint but repaint calls an inmediate repaint do not?

In other words, in Windows world Invalidate uses PostMessage and Repaint 
uses SendMessage, or am I wrong ?

Yes, I forgot to disable the autoaling, this for sure will reduce CPU 
when many controls are being moved at a time, thank you.

This confirms that the lib is not ready to be used :-)

Yes.
The widgetset can combine multiple invalidates to one paint, avoiding
congestion.

That has nothing to do with generics, but with array initializers, which
FPC currently doesn't support.
You can work around this by explicitly declaring the types and then using
.Create().

=== code begin ===

type
  TInnerArray = TArray<Integer>;
  TOuterArray = TArray<TInnerArray>;

var
  CODE_PATTERNS: TOuterArray;

begin
  CODE_PATTERN := TOuterArray.Create(
    TInnerArray.Create(2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2),
    TInnerArray.Create(2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2), TInnerArray.Create(2, 2, 2, 2, 2,
1), TInnerArray.Create(1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3), ...
  );
end.

=== code end ===

While this looks quite verbose it should also work with Delphi. (In theory
TArray<Integer>.Create() and TArray<TArray<Integer>>.Create() directly
should work as well, but I think FPC's parser still barfs on that)

Sven

Subject: [Lazarus] Lazarus on Raspberry Pi 3
Message-ID: <a8059dac-4cb7-f089-53c3-8e749ba37383@gmail.com>

I'm using Lazarus on a Raspberry Pi 3.
I have tested a few ways to get it working but the best one seems to be 
Bo Berglund's script and starting compiler. (Thanks)

I had just one problem with it:
an error would occur when the new fpc is being installed and I had to 
change line 150 from

make install OPT="$OPTIONS" PREFIX=/home/pi || error_exit "$LINENO: 
Cannot make install! Aborting"

to

make install FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" OPT="$OPTIONS" PREFIX=/home/pi || 
error_exit "$LINENO: Cannot make install! Aborting"

Apparently, this line still needs FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm"

I'm using Raspbian version 8.0
Linux raspberrypi 4.4.38-v7+

Sorry newbie question regarding these $IF directives:

can someone explain why you would use "$IF defined" instead of $IFDEF...

Obviously there are likely reasons for using one over the other.

Coffee being used as a crutch is bad. Use it for an extra burst, not as 
an hourly/daily reliance.

In that case a piece of code applied to both Linux and FreeBSD
platforms. I didn't see the need to duplicate the code with IFDEF
statements - thus making code management more work.

So use "$IF defined" to accept more that one define for a block of code.

I live on coffee and Red Bull at the moment. Trying to survive lots of
sleepless nights due to a little human teething! :-(

Or how does the other saying go:
   Computer Programmer: We convert coffee and pizza into source code.

$IFDEF FOO is an abbreviation for $IF DEFINED(FOO). The latter also allows
to combine multiple checks using AND and OR (and also allowing comparisons
with constant values) while the former can always only check for a single
define.

Hmmm,
I thought that the previous lines created the new FPC compiler, which
we want to install. The added FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" will use the seed
compiler rather than the one created by the previous make as far as I
understand and that is not what we want.

For others below are the affected lines (with the error exception code
removed). Note that the seed compiler is located at "$FPCDIR/ppcarm"
and the cd command moves to the top of the checked out FPC code by
version number.

echo "------- Building fpc and lazarus --------"
echo "Building and installing version $FPCVER of FPC"
cd "$FPCDIR/$FPCVER"
make clean
make all FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" OPT="$OPTIONS"
make install OPT="$OPTIONS" PREFIX=/home/pi

So what will be the difference when using the above compared to:

make install FPC="$FPCDIR/ppcarm" OPT="$OPTIONS" PREFIX=/home/pi

I will have to make a test next time I have a blank RPi3 to install
on. That could happen with FPC 3.0.2 now being released.

What command(s) gives you this information?
