Lazarus 0.9.30 released

[circular]

I suppose Blaazen means you need to do some TextOut.

[Blaazen]

Of course my stringgrid is not empty !

If i use the code for a stringgrid filled with strings in cells, that code works well for Linux, for Mac but not for Windows.

I am not 100% sure but:

OnPrepareCanvas event is called BEFORE cell is drawn.

OnDrawCell event is called AFTER cell is drawn.

So, IMO when you write event:

Code: [Select]

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1PrepareCanvas(......);
  begin
    StringGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color:=clRed;
  end;

then you have cells with red background.

But TStringGrid is not designed for gradient fill, so you have to write text yourself and use DrawCell event for it.

Code: [Select]

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1DrawCell(Sender: TObject; aCol, aRow: Integer; aRect: TRect; aState: TGridDrawState);
begin
  if (aRow>0) and (aCol>0) then
    begin
      StringGrid1.canvas.Font.Style:= [] ;
      StringGrid1.canvas.Font.Color := clwhite;
      StringGrid1.Canvas.gradientfill(arect,clblack,cllime,gdvertical) ;
      StringGrid1.Canvas.TextOut(aRect.Left + 2, aRect.Top + 2, StringGrid1.Cells[aCol, aRow]);
    end;
end;    
Text background must be transparent. I don't know how to reach it ATM.

And screenshot.

Hello Blaazen.

Here screenshot from Linux.

The same screenshot from Windows shows a empty stringgrid

[Blaazen]

Screenshot is GTK2 ?

Because it still does not work without TextOut here on Qt4.

[Fred vS]

Yep Blaazen.
Indeed, it is with GTK2 (on Linux), LCL win32/64 (on Windows) and Carbon (on Mac OSX).

Do you think the compiled app does not work with Linux QT4 ? :

If you compiled with GTK2 then it is GTK2 even on KDE4 distros (like Kubuntu and others).

Maybe there is bug in grid+Qt.

[Fred vS]

OK and many thanks.

So, for the moment, i just gonna use gtk2 for Linux.
In Windows, fpc 2.4.2 seems to have same problem that Qt4, so i go back with my old (new ?) fpc 2.5.1 in windows.

And Carbon for OSX.

And of course i gonna test (and use) new release of Lazarus 0.9.30 

[Blaazen]

I started new thread with simple test project so everyone can test it.

Hum and what about the LCL win32/64 Jurassic look ?
No plan to have it more XXI millennium like ?

[igor_s]

Does anybody try to use Lazarus on multi-monitor systems ?
It's awful.
Especially when one monitor size differs from other, and since it began to save/restore forms state .
Lets close Lazarus while it on the big one, and run it again - we'll get it on smaller monitor (if it set as "main"), and get form position much higher than we can access its header to be able to do anything with it.

[igor_s]

And "Access Violation" while project "Save As" operation.....

And this is "release"? I'm returning to last proven beta...

[Vincent Snijders]

Unless you make a good bug report, chances are high that the same bug will be in the next release too.

[LazaruX]

People, this thread is regarding the latest release, if u are having specific problems, I think its better, and easier to read/follow if you create a specific new post (and maybe a bug report).
As i read I see in 1 post many topics:
- Windows NT4 Issue
- Save As issue
- stringgrid
- drawcell
- bla bla

Just tried to report.
I got empty page after registration/confirming email/and trying to relogin.
Where can I send bug report regarding your bug reporting system? =)
