It was working fine with 0.9.28 last stable version the new open dialog

Any suggestion how can this be solved?

I tried the dayly snapshot 0.9.29.2700 2.2.4 works fine

The best would be a bug report to track this kind of problem.

Also, I just fixed exception showing, so in snapshots starting from tomorrow the exception showing dialog is working, so you could test again, and maybe it will show which exception occurred so that I can have more information about what is wrong with FPC 2.3.1

Could you do this test?

thanks,

On buile 0.9.28 2.2.4 the open dialog works fine...
I tried 0.9.29 2.4.0 from revision 23560  to 23609 the open dialog does not work.....
How can we post a bug for it..... the problem must be in FPC 2.4 or 2.4.1 ......

Your dialog not work but your application is worked?

The application works ok..... but when i try to open the open or save dialog it closes..........

Could you report in the bug tracker ... reports in the forum are easily forgotten

If i not like the Open save dialogs in Lazarus special for WinCE, can i make a custom one and attach it to work instead of the current?.

I don't understand your question. If you want to have a custom dialog for your application, sure, just build one. You can create a TMyOpenDialog

If you want to change the current implementation of TOpenDialog for WinCE then we have to discuss it and reach an agreement.

[Zaher]

Without make new component, just like make hook to replace the current one TOpenDialog and without touch the current implementation of TOpenDialog, Can I?

[felipemdc]

I took a quick look and didn't find a possibility. There override methods for message dialogs and other things, maybe there is for open dialog too, but I didn't find one.

A solution would be creating a class which inherits either from TOpenDialog or TFileDialog and then override the DoExecute method to show your own dialog. This way you will have most of the behavior from those classes.

The idea i need to call OpenDialog in Win32/Linux by the default but in WinCE with mine, but i can do that in run time (Creating TOpenDialog).

You can use an ifdef:

{$ifdef WinCE}
  MyOpenDialog := TMyOpenDialog;
{$else}
  MyOpenDialog := TOpenDialog;
{$endif}
