I am using Lazarus with the IDE built with QT5. I am using TPageControl. In the IDE i can size the tabs nicely for use on a touch screen but when I run the app the Tabs revert to default sizes and are too small. Does this mean the QT widged cant be resized? If not that sucks as I have it looking really good in the IDE are there any suggestions if its not do-able? Thanks :)
-
Is ide compiled against qt5 also ? I'm not sure that tabs can be freely resized under qt ws. Please attach small example project.
-
Yes the IDE is complied with QT5.
The default is GTK2 but TPageControl 'TabHeight' and 'TabWidth' cannot be changed from 0 in the IDE at all. After building the IDE in QT5 and switching the project to using the QT5 widget set I have the project looking great in the IDE. 'TabHeight' and 'TabWidth' worked right up till I run the application then they are once again reset to 0 and I loose the formatting on the screen.
It works perfectly under windows but I really want to complie and use on a linux machine. I shouldnt have to use wine just to be able to get some tabs formatted correctly. If there is a better component to use I will gladly switch.

Now I see, you're right, please open bug report and attach simple example project, I'll fix it next week.
-
I hope this was the right place

Hi, I see you have a commit to fix this issue, is there a way I can install the fix or do I need to wait for the next version? Thanks
-
Trunk only, and it will be in next major version (2.4)
-
OK no problem. Thank you for the fix, will keep an eye out for the release that has it. Thank you for your time.
-
You can try to add that commit into your qt5 sources of stable lazarus and rebuild, that should work imo.

I did try that and it built ok but lazarus would not open, I think is had a memory access error
