I have been busy lately, on maternity leave (equal rights!) so I haven't been doing much. Now that the keydown problem has been hopefully fixed, I will slowly make progress again, probably starting Monday or so......will cycle a new compiler to see if everything works, then hopefully get the editor up and running.

I can get the editor to work, depending on the font selected. If I could gaurantee a font to be installed on the user's system, I could work with just that font and that would make it a ton easier...at least for now.

The Notebook components are all now fixed and working with the new gtkint IntSendMessage3 function. I have committed the changes.

Also, I fixed a couple of small bugs in the example and enhanced it a little.

I also fixed a small bug in the progressbar example where the Quit menu didn't quit. This was because the OnClicked event in the menu items hasn't been changed to OnClick yet. The example was assigning the OnClick event. So, to make the Quit menu work for now, I just changed it to OnClicked.

Also, since it appears the TFontDialog code is working now, and it only took 3 lines of code, I went ahead and added it to the commondialogs example (TFontDialog was missing). So now all the common dialogs in the example are working.

Well, now I am off to work on the TClipboard component.

I've noticed that the cvs is updated rarely these days. Does this mean we're all too busy with other stuff or has the last discussion stopped development?

I think it is that some of the core developers have someother things on their plates at the moment. I know Shane will be tied up with the new baby. Jeff already mentioned that he has someother work taking his time at the moment. I'm not sure of Cliff's status. I was busy with some other stuff which I am just getting a handle on so I am just getting back into it myself.

1. Is anybody working on the new approach with an eventbox? 2. Should further development be delayed until 1 is ready for use?

No. Even if the new eventbox stuff is implemented it will be in the gtkint files and will not be a part of the basic LCL class structure. In other words it isn't something that effects the component class development since it is API specific stuff.

3. What's the status of TBitMap? 4. What about TToolBar?

The maintainers of those will have to comment.

Excellent! Probably better that you do it at this point anyway since you know what you have written. :-)

I will leave moving it to its own directory to you, though :-)

Okey dokey. :-)

It isn't working correctly any more and I am guessing that it is because it is in the middle of being moved to the new gtkint functions (I haven't checked anything to see why).

I only just cycled a new compiler and update Lazarus myself last night for the first since before I went on vacation which was 4 weeks ago. :-\

I hope to get the gtkint stuff moved over into the separate directory this week and cleanup the remaining code. I keep the list posted.

I am way to busy to participate for the next few weeks.

I will be taking a vacation soon, then I can contribute to the project once again.

I have to many day job projects going on at the same time now. 1 intranet application, 1 vendor setting up a new intranet app this week and moving all of our web server stuff in house.

Couple of weeks and everything should cool down.

I went out of town this weekend, and was going to put lazarus/fpc on my old laptop to work on some while I was gone. After updating from CVS, I started a cycle on it. Two hours later I didn't have ppc1 yet. Never, I repeat Never try to cycle the compiler on a 486-100 with 8 meg of RAM. You will grow grey hair before it finishes (if anyone already has grey hair, then it would fall out, and if it has already fallen out, then you wouldn't care, as you wouldn't make it long enough to see it finish). Needless to say, the laptop stayed home.

Jeff.

I have also been very busy on other stuff lately. But things are finally starting to get back to normal again, so I am beginning to work on this again. I even cycled my compiler last night for the first time in about 2 weeks :-)

Hopefully, I will have the TClipboard component partially working soon.

Michael, do you remember what still needs to be done to migrate the TNotebook component to the new gtkint functions? It isn't working correctly any more and I am guessing that it is because it is in the middle of being moved to the new gtkint functions (I haven't checked anything to see why). I would like to try to get it working again. If you want me to change it to work with the new functions, let me know what I need to do and I will be happy to do it.

Hi,

I've noticed that the cvs is updated rarely these days. Does this mean we're all too busy with other stuff or has the last discussion stopped development?

Specially I'd like to know the status of the following issues:

1. Is anybody working on the new approach with an eventbox?
2. Should further development be delayed until 1 is ready for use?
3. What's the status of TBitMap?
4. What about TToolBar?

Since I'd like to port one of my program's soon I've some special interest in TToolbar and TBitmap. Although I'm quite busy at the moment I'd start working on these if nobody else is already doing that.

bye,

Stefan

Michael,

I was looking at the Notebook stuff and there is a fair amount involved with moving it from the IntSendMessage2 function to the new IntSendMessage3 function. I am working on it now. So you won't have to worry about migrating it (it is taking a fair amount of work but will be much cleaner) to the new IntSendMessage3 function. I should have it done in a little while and I will commit it to CVS. That should fix the notebook code and then I can get going on the TClipboard code again.

I will leave moving it to its own directory to you, though :-)
