ASerge.
I am trying to follow this tutorial:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Tutorial#Your_first_Lazarus_Program.21I open Lazarus, click on Project from the main menu and click OK for a new application. An Object Inspector, Source Editor and Form1 are created. I click on “button”, on the object menu, then click on Form1. This creates a button. I can select and deselect the button but can not drag or resize it. This seems to be the same for the other objects.
Having said all that, I have found the culprit. .... a Logitech wireless Laser mouse. If I simply pull the batteries on this and plug in a USB mouse (the best that Poundworld can supply), I get the same response in Lazarus. However, if I unplug the Logitech base unit, reboot Windows 7 with the Poundworld mouse connected, then open Lazarus and create a new project I can select, drag, resize, do somersaults with the button object; all as expected.
What, can't do somersaults with your objects? Get a Poundworld mouse.
Yes, yes, I even updated the dreaded Logitech SetPoint and it still won't work. If I find a version of this piece of malware that allows the wireless mouse to do the needful, I'll post anew, because, despite this, a wireless mouse is less hindering.
