Load from file worked outstanding though ;)

Cliff I haven't tested it but if LoadFromFile worked fine for you then the TIniFile should be working OK now. It was primarily based on TStringList so you might want to give it a try again for the project file data.

?? This is not normal.
The Strings.LoadFromfile puts each line in a separate string. It does so in my test program ? Maybe it is a memo quirck ?

Cliff:

Just a guess, but isn't the default compiler behavior to use cr-lf terminated strings? Maybe the method you're using isn't in sync with this. Especially if it's working for Michael VC. You don't you try both compiler switches (unix and dos string termination modes) and see what happens.

Hi All,

I am able to now open multiple source files on a tabsheet with dynamic pages much as delphi does but ran into something
interesting last night.

Shane you may have run into this I do not know. I am using TStrings.LoadFromFile(Path) to open the file.
This does seem to work very good now BTW. When I load the strings to the memo all of the strings just run together with
no line breaks. It's as if the TStrings.LoadFromFile is stripping all of the control chars...

Is this normal TStrings behavior.

I am also going to port my lex scanner code to fpc this weekend. It works rock solid and is totally generic code scanner not to mention extrememly fast. Might make color syntax highlighting a little more solid.

BTW, I have also placed a compiler output window at the bottom. Looks pretty much like the delphi editor with the messages window docked at the bottom.

I also am finding that control placement will probably be one of our biggest challenges to face. I do not think we are going to be able to emulate x, y widget placement. It looks like we will have to implement the specific alignment widgets and have the user pick the elignment method to use.

And a scanner will also allow you to add things like. Remove conditional code for conditional X. Etc.

If you need help with adding the compiler into lazarus just send me an email

Yep I will take a look at this tonight. To bad I was writing code like a mad man and
ran slam into the wall..... ;)
