Vincent,

I followed your tip and installed the messagecomposer package.
But after installation I cannot find the component anywhere.
How do you use it when it's instaled in Lazarus?

I did install the Messagedlg and I also found the the menu entry that allows access to it. But: what unit do you have to include for the compiler to recognize the Messagedlg (and Showmessage) functions? When I try to compile the compiler gags at these functions.

In Delphi it was "Dialogs" - is it not the same in Lazarus?

What does the compiler say? They're really there, see this.

Hi there,

I just discovered this. Wow! I did not even know it existed in Lazarus. I'm used to using GExperts in Delphi and I'm glad to know that after installing the package, a simple Ctrl+M launches it in Lazarus. It's a real time saver.

Great work guys!  :D

The compiler says: Error: identifier not found "Messagedlg"

I'm porting from Delphi 7. Could it be that it is looking at the Delphi 'Dialogs', I'm now realising.

No idea. If I put "Dialogs" to uses section then MessaageDlg works (and always worked).

Shouldn't matter, as the project won't search Delphi one (normally). Do you have LCL as dependency? What if you ctrl+click that 'dialogs' in uses clause? Does it open LCL dialogs unit?

Is that a typo when you copied the error message or is that the actual error message?  Because I thought it should be MessageDlg not Messagedlg.
