When it comes to Windows CE are aren't many other options. The most
probably other one would be .NET. We offer a better solution then .NET
because we offer exactly the same GUI API for desktops and for PDAs.
While working on our WinCE port I often had to search on the internet
how to implement something, and several times I found people
complaining about things with work on the .NET for desktops, but isn't
available on the Compact Framework, so we actually offer more then MS
in this respect =)

Of course our library isn't as stable as theirs, so if you develop
using it you may need to help us improve it.

thanks,

Some IDE dialogs are totally screwed in size

Hi,

I'm using Lazarus compiled with GTK1. v0.9.25 r14596M i386-linux-gtk

I have seen a few dialogs in Lazarus that are completed screwed in
size. Attached is 'Goto Line' dialog, to give you an example. It's as
if somebody used a different DPI setting or ScaleBy feature or
something to edit the dialogs.  BTW: My Linux X Server is manually
forced to 96 dpi.

Am I the only one experiencing this?  Did something go horribly wrong
in my last few svn updates?

Regards,
  - Graeme -

Another one is the Columns editor for the TListView component.  Loading it for 
the first time is huge and I have to resize it.

The TODO dialog was another one, but I think somebody fixed it.
Procedure List was another one, but I sent a patch for it.

Why did all these dialogs change size??

The goto line dialog is autosized. But maybe the gtk1 interface does not give
enough information or the window manager ignores the second resize.

Can you try with a gtk2 IDE?

Curious.  Is Form alpha blending supported in Win32 and/or GTK* ?

What is weird is that they used to be fine, until about a month or so
ago. At that time I only noticed the Procedure List dialog, but
thought it's a once of thing and somebody with a different dpi setting
modified the dialog. A classic issue that used to occur under Delphi
and Kylix. Now I noticed more dialogs and thought I would mention it.

My setup Ubuntu 7.10 and Gnome desktop has not changed since the 7.10 release.

I'll try tomorrow at work with FVWM window manager and also with
Lazarus compiled against GTK2. I'll keep you posted.

My assumption with the DPI settings changing and the dialogs growing
in size was correct. As I mentioned, Procedure List dialog had a issue
and I fixed it a while back.  I had a look in the svn logs and it was
actually 3 months ago.

See the following difference in revision 13155 made by user Paul.
Modified Wed Dec 5 06:43:08 2007 UTC (3 months, 3 weeks ago) by paul

This shows the dpi setting of 75 changed, which then enlarged all the
witdth & height values.

Recent changes in LazReport corrected some problems about grouping/aggregate 
functions, maybe you want to try with r14722 or newer. If problem persist, 
please submit a bug report with a sample project/report.

If you draw an alpha bitmap, it will be blended. There is no way to 
controll this yet, but will after I finis TIcon.
