[ANN] fpGUI Toolkit v2.0.3 release

[cdbc]

Hi Graeme
· It's with -dAGGCanvas
· KDE's / QT's global scaling is 100%  (kde v6.6.x)
· Pretty old lappy, 1366 * 768
· I haven't fiddled with dpi, so it's what PCLinuxOS does std. on this HP

Hi Graeme
I've got a question:
· Is it illegal to use 'fpgPostMessage()' outside of the 'fpGUI' framework?!?
:: With 'outside' I mean within the same application, but not descending from e.g.: 'TfpgWidget' ::
I'm using it in my 'Presenter' to pass messages from a threadsafe queue, to notify the 'Presenter' to deQueue items from the queue and dispatch them in the main thread to the GUI through an observer-pattern... In doing that, I'm getting an obscure AV in

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function FindKeyboardFocus: TfpgWidget;
2. begin
3.   Result := nil;
4.  
5.   if FocusRootWidget <> nil then
6.   begin                            {$ifdef dbg} lsl.Append(FocusRootWidget.ClassName); {$endif}
7.     Result := FocusRootWidget; /// <--- STOPS HERE
8.     while (Result <> nil) and (Result.ActiveWidget <> nil) do {$ifdef dbg} begin lsl.Append(Result.ActiveWidget.ClassName);{$endif}
9.       Result := Result.ActiveWidget; {$ifdef dbg} end; {$endif}
10.   end;
11. end;

from 'fpg_widget'.
-- Do I __really__ have to use a timer  I find the above msg-solution more elegant

Hi again
Right so I solved it, one should really keep the messaging system within 'TfpgWidget' descendants, learnt my lesson
Ok so I've been playing with 'fpGUI', learning the ropes, nifty piece of kit \o/
If you'd like to see it, it's parked HERE in my Gitlab crib...
For the time being, Only @Aruna will be able to compile it, because it utilizes my P.I.S.S. (P)lug(I)n (S)ervices (S)olution -framework, which hasn't been released into the wild yet... /sorry/ you'll just have to wait for it...
Regards Benny

edit: Alas, I ended up abondoning the fpg_messagequeue approach and had to implement a polling timer, to avoid unpredictable AVs from the fpgui-messaging-system, I suspect, that 'fpgPostMessage' and friends are not entirely threadsafe... I dunno 
It seems to be working fine now
