I used your instructions last night and was able to do a make cycle.

In the instructions you say to rename ppc386 to ppc386.release is this correct. Is ppc386.release my new compiler then or is it the old one?

I also have to look at the TStrings.SaveToFile and see if I can use that for the project file etc.

Cliff you might want to try TIniFile again. Since Peter fixed some of the ansistring problems that might work for you now. I haven't tried it but give it a shot.

I know the feeling. My business is kinda slow right now so I am looking for some other work and I just applied for a job doing.

Now brace yourself............Visual Basic. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ;-)

What a slacker you are at home already ;)

I am headed there now...

CVS updated two minutes ago...

why in dialogs.pp the "execute" property is an integer ? it should be boolean, so I can do:

 if MyOpenDialog.Execute then
 begin
	{ user pressed ok}
 end

like in Delphi.

I can modify it and post a patch tomorow (with all the code involved) if anyone want, yes ?
Or I should wait a little ?

Sergio

The execute command was going to return a modalresult but that doesn't work and it also won't return a boolean because it's not really a modal dialog. I will try to make it modal tonight and see what happens....

You left early what a dog !

I can come and go as I please but i wished to wrap a project up that had been dragging on a little. Still it si done 3 weeks early must have padded the schedule to much..

I looked at the new function gtk_window_set_modal( window,boolean) and called it before the gtk_widget_show. I didn't notice any difference with the openfiledialog.

Currently, you Execute the opendialog and assign the opendialog.onOK to a procedure. When the user presses OK that procedure gets called. Kind of cool, but not exactly like Delphi.

Shane

Sergio,

Shane wrote the code for that and I think he is doing some type of call back stuff in
there for now to try to implement the gtk file dialog as a modal object.

I know he had a heck of a time working with that.

Are you familiar with how the control model is implemented yet?

If so we could always use a few more of the controls implemented like progressbar for instance. We also could use some help in running the compiler from within code. I also have to look at the TStrings.SaveToFile and see if I can use that for the project file etc.

Also control placement is a major issue. We now use a routine called addcontrol inside of tcontrol to do the
widget placement but we will have to do something better with this.

Feel free to dive in to anything you wish we will incorporate the code.

Cliff

I believe at some point much further down the road we will have to construct our own dialog. That is if we wish for it to work correctly...

I will once I get home I am still at work working on some web stuff..

cliff

That is just what I am doing at the moment. It is cool for intranet stuff.

It is a real plus to be able to mix them up a little ;)

If you need good code you have to turn to delphi because vb is just one big hack...

yep

the old one (0.99.10) the last release version.
The last command is
cp compiler/ppc386 .
wich put the newly compiled compiler in /opt/fpc
what you have now is a snapshot.

I've been told that I must use a release version (not a snapshot) to do make cycle.

about the execute property I will wait Shane's reply.

Tell me about it. When I was in the interview the guy ask me what I liked best about VB. I had to look at him and say, "To tell you the truth I DON'T like VB." I said, "If I have to do RAD give me Delphi it is much better." Sort of changed the tone of the interview. However, when it was all over he THANKED ME for the interview. He said that he had learned alot about things like Delphi which he didn't know before.

WHAT!

Instead of being home working on serious Linux and FPC stuff. Unbelievable. ;-)
