Newbie Question - how to compile demo code from wiki?

[oog]

I have installed lazarus v1.8.0 on Windows 10, 64 Bit.
I successfully compiled the tutorial demo (Change Button Text "Click" to "Click again") so I think the compiler is working.
Now I want to proceed with the examples from the Wiki.
(3.4 Graphics -> Lazarus TCanvas -> Drawing a text limited on the width)

The examples do not compile.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. // First calculate the text size then draw it
2. TextBox := Rect(0, currentPos.Y, Width, High(Integer));
3. DrawText(ACanvas.Handle, PChar(Text), Length(Text),
4.   TextBox, DT_WORDBREAK or DT_INTERNAL or DT_CALCRECT);
5.  
6. DrawText(ACanvas.Handle, PChar(Text), Length(Text),
7.   TextBox, DT_WORDBREAK or DT_INTERNAL);
8.  

I get some error messages

Code: [Select]

What do I need to compile the examples?

Is there another tutorial that helps?

There is only a code snippet on the wiki, they probably assume some experience. You need to declare TextBox: TRect and add LCLType to uses and maybe more.
But there are examples that comes with Lazarus in directory lazarus/examples. Try them.

Thank you for your quick reply. Now I've found the examples. I will try them.

Yes. I agree that many wiki articles are written very carelessly. To be able to fix it you should post the link to the article.

[…] To be able to fix it you should post the link to the article.

Huh? Just copy and past some adequately long quote to the wiki's search, and you'd know it's the Developing with Graphics article before you can say Jack Robinson.
