Is FPGUI still active?

[Fred vS]

I am under the impression that you have an old version of fpGUI. The current version (that is, the develop branch of the GitHub repository) is 1.5.

Hello Roland.

BSaidus might be using the maint branch, which is still version 1.4.1.

However, even with the maint branch, I haven't encountered any problems under Windows 11 (but I used a MSEide/ideU .prj project file).

@BSaidus, which project are you trying to compile?

On github    I've downloaded the version 1.4.1 of fpGUI on sourceforge.
Indeed the dev version works well (from github).

Hi
I downloaded today the 1.5 version from Github, went very smooth...
It took me a small hour, to come to terms with it, easy and intuitive to use 
Me Likey 
Theming is also quite easy...

I really want to recompile some of my programs in a way they don't depend on GTK or Qt.

So I have tried using fpGUI as LCL backend, and compile an empty form.

Had to open this issue: https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/issues/142

If you know how to overcome it, please comment here or there.

Hi
Well, ofc. you could've just read this thread and found this quote:

Note that  fpGUI for LCL is work in progress but not yet usable, only "pure" fpGUI widgetset is working and dont needs LCL nor Interfaces.

by @Fred vS.
My own experiments also shy away from the LCL and uses the pure/raw fpGUI repository.
Look at the various examples / demos and work your way forwards from there, it's quite easy 
It ofc. depends on the amount of spaghetti you have to /untangle/ to loose the LCL...?

but it's just an empty form.

but it's just an empty form.

We're talking lcl-fpgui (Lazarus' widgetset) here... That's maybe what it looks like to the end user. But a LOT is happening under the hood. The native backend API is initialized, the event loop is established, requests are made to create a window, rendering has to occur (yes, even a empty window is something that must be rendered) etc etc. :-)

But as I explained in the bug report, lcl-fpgui is not something I maintain, and you'll have to file a Lazuras bug report for that.

And just to make this thread aware. fpGUI Toolkit v2.0 was released 2 days ago. 
I posted an announcement in the 3rdParty section of this forum.
