I have converted an old Delphi project to a Lazarus project with version 1.2.6 on Windows XP, pack 3, win32.
It did not create an LPR file but retained the DPR.
It did not activate the Manifest to enable themes.
All operates well, but my design mode is with themes, and its compilation is without.
I selected manifest from the project options... it compiles with the theme, but its buttons will not paint unless I hover over each one with the mouse. Also, none of the buttons are clickable. They are dead.
Trying to undo the setting is difficult. I have to deselect manifest, then change the defaultmonitor for the main form. Then exit the IDE and restart.
I have another Delphi project compiled from a former version and with the same manifest setting. It operates properly.
I reinstalled versaion 1.2.4 and still had the same results.
The unit settings are as follows...
unit CmdCalcFrm;
{$IFDEF FPC}
{$MODE Delphi}
{$ELSE}
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$ENDIF}
interface
uses
{$IFnDEF FPC}
Windows,
{$ELSE}
LCLIntf, LCLType, LMessages,
{$ENDIF}
Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls,
ExtCtrls, ClipBrd, Buttons; // buttons?
I have added "buttons" to the list, but it has not helped.
I can activate manifest, but the defaultmonitor must be set to dmactiveform instead of dmdesktop. It does not, however, use the manifest function. But version 1.2.6 had not reset functionality so easily.
I installed version 1.2.0. It does not have a make.exe file.
I deleted all lazarus folders and reinstalled 1.2.6 with the same results. I cannot get the manifest function to work.
