Bug in Calendar control under Mac OS X?
« on: April 21, 2012, 05:16:25 pm »
Hello everybody.

When I select the last day of the month from the Calendar control, I get the first day instead of the last.

Is it a bug or am I missing something?

This is the code I use to get the date selected:

Code: [Select]
txtDate.Text := FormatDateTime('dd/mm/yyyy',MonthCalendar.DateTime);

In the code above, txtDate is an EditBox while MonthCalendar is the Calendar control.

Please notice that the problem only occurs when you select the last day of each month. Any other date is returned correctly.

Any help will be appreciated.

You are right, I can reproduce the problem here (Lazarus 0.9.30.4, Mac OS X 10.5, PPC G5). I would recommend to submit a bug report at bugs.freepascal.org.

Thanks for your confirmation. I don't have much practice using the procedure to submit the bug. If you think it's important, you may want to take care of it yourself.

This issue has been fixed in Lazarus 1.0.

Hey guys, Lazarus 1.0 is out. It is better than 0.9.30 in many ways. You should use it.

Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

This issue has been fixed in Lazarus 1.0.

Please close the bugreport, since it has been solved in 1.0.
I already marked it as resolved.

Thanks. This is a good reason to upgrade to version 1.0. I don't know how to uninstall the previous version, though.

Do you know if there is a step-by-step tutorial showing how to uninstall Lazarus 0.9 under Mac?

You don't need an unistaller as long as you haven't installed a GM edition of the same version. Upgrading from 0.9 to 1.0 should be easily done by simply installing Lazarus 1.0 (and, if required FPC 2.6.0 and the corresponding FPC SRC archive. FPC 2.4 will definitively not work with Lazarus 1.0.). Outdated files are automatically overwritten by the installer.

What happens if you have installed some add-ons such as Power PDF or LazReport? Will they have to be installed again?

Yes unfortunately. Hopefully all you'll need to do is go to the Tools menu and select 'Build Lazarus with Normal: IDE'. If that dosen't do it, you'll have to install the additional components one at a time. But the effort is well worth it because Lazarus 1.0 IS the great leap forward.  :D
