Is there LCLVersion in uses clause?

@Lainz

Is there LCLVersion in uses clause?

Yes, I commited the changes in the dev branch. But it grayes out the code, I have LCL 2.1.0.0, for that i'm not sure if is working fine. The target is 2.0.8.0 that's one version where the code works...

Can you show me the code with the $IF?

Here it is, TBCPanel, lines 98 and 234

Oh indeed.

I think it is a bug in the source editor.

But in fact when it compiles, it is checked correctly.

You can try by adding an unknown identifier in the gray code to check that it is compiled.

New release
https://github.com/bgrabitmap/bgracontrols/releases/tag/v6.7.1

- Compatibility with older Lazarus

New release v6.7.2

Fix:
- Use parent form style in bccombobox. So it does not overlap other windows when the style is not fsStayOnTop.

And also we're starting to port BGRAControls to MSEide, the first change was using a Drawer unit in ProgressBar, next will be adding some ifdef's to use the same unit both in LCL and MSEide.

I started with ProgressBar since is one of the units that has less lines of code, well written BTW.

Due to this change now you must use BarColor in our ProgressBar instead of Color.

There seems to be a bug in control "BcRadialProgressbar".
Changing property "Color" in editor does not change Preview until I also change "FontShadowColor".

Hi lainz,

How do you install BGRAControls (FPC 3.2.0/Lazarus 2.0.10 or trunk)? I always get the incompatible ppu error. It doesn't matter if I install it from OPM or manually.

[lainz]

Hi, I have it already installed. I'm using trunk. So when I edit it just recompiles, or I recompile the IDE if we add more controls.

I will try on the newest release of Lazarus 2.0.10, but it should be working as well, what I do if the ppu error comes, is selecting the build options that cleans up all the files, that is the trick. The IDE takes more time to build but it works finally.

Edit: the build options -> I mean the Lazarus build options

[balazsszekely]

Thanks, I did try the "Clean all" option in "Configure build Lazarus" dialog, still does not works for me. I attach the screenshot with the error.

Hi GetMem, thanks for helping me to fix this.

I think I found the problem. Seems that there is a conflict when installing BGRABitmap and BGLControls (from BGRABitmap package) and then installing BGRAControls.

If I use OPM and I select only bgrabitmappack and bgracontrols with nothing more, it works.

Say that next I want to install BGLControls, then I get a similar problem:

bcbutton.pas(80,12) Fatal: Can't find unit BCButton used by bgracontrols

Can you reproduce this bug in this order of installing packages? BGRABitmap, BGRAControls, BGLControls.

[balazsszekely]

I think I found the problem.

Cool.

If I use OPM and I select only bgrabitmappack and bgracontrols with nothing more, it works.

Yes. I can confirm this, BGRABitmap with BGRAControls can be installed without any issues.

Say that next I want to install BGLControls, then I get a similar problem:

This is also confirmed.

What solution do you propose? Isn't BGLControls from BGRABitmap an old version of BGRAControls(I'm just asking, I don't know)?
