TCalcEdit does not work...
« on: June 20, 2008, 10:53:52 am »
at least, as I expect.
Lazarus 0.9.24, target LCL Widget type - GTK2. I place a CalcEdit widget on the form and compile the test application. When  I try to type inside the widget, nothing happens. If I click the Calculator button, it appears on the screen, allowing to enter numbers and do some calculations, then I click OK (a button on the calculator form), it goes away, but the CalcEdit control remains empty.

I coded onAcceptValue event, like this:
Code: [Select]
procedure TFormEntry.ceAmountAcceptValue(Sender: TObject; var AValue: Double;
  var AAction: Boolean);
begin
  (Sender as TCalcEdit).AsFloat := aValue; // first attempt, nothing
  ceAmount.Text := FloatToStr(AValue);     // added later with no luck either
  AAction := false;   // don't see any difference caused by this parameter
writeln(AValue); // this shows what I saw in the Calculator window, great!
end;

with no luck.
I noticed, when I move the mouse over this control, the cursor disappears, like it goes under the control.

Any ideas?

Why

The reason for this odd behaviour was the changes in Control's Font attributes. I changed Font.Style to [fsBold] and this caused the problem.
As far as I found this applies to TCalcEdit, TCalendarEdit, TEditButton.
