Ive got TPanel sussed out, just gotta find time to finalise it and polish it off - once thats done I got a pretty firm grasp on how the LCL all works now so I'll jump into something else..

Ops, little mistake. Checkboxes are already quite OK, I'm working on ComboBoxes.

Here's a few things we need done...

Some one to code the IDE to RUN the application once you select RUN in the menu's. You can use the same code I use to run the compiler when they press BUILD.

We need someone to run through the code and verify that certain components are completed. At this point we haven't said that any of the LCL (vcl) are completed as of yet. Pick a control and see is everything works in it.

I need someone to code the IDE so that when the user selects BUILD it adds the create code (somehow) and compiles. I am currently need someone to look at how we are going to build the DFM files in lazarus. How are we going to use them? I am looking at this too.

I need someone to continue adding components to the tool bar for dropping onto the form. This involves adding code to idecomp and to main.pp

We have a few components that need work. Trackbar, Statusbar, TListbox, TGrid, TDB????, and many others are missing.

I need somone to create a method for adding Menu's via the IDE. I can drop a menu "speedbutton" on the form and when you double click it calls the IDECOMP's TIDEMENU.DoubleClick method. This should bring up a menu editor.

Want to try any of that? Please let me know.

#You can look at the component pages to see what needs to be done.

I will take a look. Is the list updated ? Bitbtn is in Lazarus but found in the list of nothing done ?
Is there any action at the component part anyway ?

#You can try to fix some bugs (#14 and #15), if you need info on these, we #can supply them. At least an opportunety to get in tought with LCL and GTK.

I am running Linux, but maybe it's no different ?? I can take a look on the #14 and #15 info...

#You can try to add the run command in the ide.

First I will lurk around and se what is what :-)

Now my Lazarus is running !!

I have some things that don't work and I just want to know if it's normal:

When I try to se the Object explorer it would't show. When I starts a new project, no form is showing and when I try the wiew forms nothing happens.
I can create a new form and put components on it but when I try to move them they sometimes dissappear and do not move.

What next ?

Do you have something "boring" but not to difficult for a lurker like me to do :)
I need to get familiar to the files and your way of coding. I don't have your experience,
but I am not giving up that easy and I do have a lot of time kill :) And of course, your support is/has been great !!

Chris

Hello,

Actually, last night I did some study of the "button.pp" and thinking of starting with just that.
I am runnig Lazarus at Linux at the moment but
I want to set it up on Win98 too so I can verify on both. (Downloading the latest snapp of FPC)
Then I will do a simple example of TBitBtn... OK!

By the way, I tried the TInifile and fond some strange behavior. I put a WriteString into a "inifile" but in the file out, in the value string, the last letter was missing !?
I didn't have time to se why..
Anyone ??

Hi!

The list is not really up to date. Michael needs more input about the state of components. Thus I'd recommend two things:

a) Chris, could you start by creating an example for TBitBtn? This should be an easy task as long (as you will not run into holes in the implementation of TBitBtn) and can help you to get used to the project.

b) Michael, could you enhance the component-table with the date at which the status of each component was last reported?

Is there any action at the component part anyway ?

Not sure about that. I'm currently working a little bit on Checkboxes. What really needs work are all those TDbXXXX components but this is quite a hard job.

bye,

Stefan

That's some work to do...
I can't make up my mind yet, I'll sweep around in lazarus file tree and have some look on what you listed. For me it's good to have a couple of problems to jump between if I get stuck... I think I'll start with verify the component in LCL (just comming from Delphi 5 you get used to all that code completion and stuff) to get warm in my fingers in "clean" coding.
In between I can take a look at the incomplete components...

I have my vacation soon (W29) and shall spend it all to this and you will hear from me when I get in to some of the other stuff you listed so I don't come into collision with your progress...

Where shall I post my progress, if I have any :-)
