I used the tool and is very well.
The problem really is that Lazarus/FPC does not have all the components (that are more important that RAD or IDE).
Of insurance the program will be able to be modified to turn other archives, like those of Qt Designer.

Qt Designer offers a form to work similar to Delphi: http://www.luis-digital.8m.com/Linux/KDE2/4/QtD.gif http://www.luis-digital.8m.com/Linux/KDE2/4/QtD1.gif http://www.luis-digital.8m.com/Linux/KDE2/4/QtD2.gif http://www.luis-digital.8m.com/Linux/KDE2/4/QtD3.gif http://www.luis-digital.8m.com/Linux/KDE2/4/QtD4.gif

But really I would like to see more components/functions (put pixel? :-)

Greetings,

I was sent a very interesting tool that can be used with the Lazarus LCL. At this point various parts of the LCL have been established but as you know the GUI IDE is still being developed. Here is somewhat of an interesting stop gap measure.

Vasily I. Volchenko has sent me a simple tool that he created that converts XForm .fd files into LCL code. I myself have not used XForms so I need to do some investigating myself. The FD file is the Form Definition file that is used by the 'Form Design' tool supplied with XForms. It is a WYSIWYG Forms designer. As a short cut I have created a .zip file that just contains the 'fdesign' application.

ftp://lazarus.freepascal.org/lazarus/fdesign.zip

This is the Linux Elf version you can other platform versions by going to the XForm site.

http://world.std.com/~xforms/

Anyway. After you create the .fd file with the fdesign tool you can run the program Mr. Volchenko developed that takes this .fd file and turns it into a standard LCL .pp file. It is really neat.

Here is the URL to get the code for this converter.

ftp://lazarus.freepascal.org/lazarus/Fd2lcl.tgz

Once you get this untar it and run 'ppc386 fd2lcl.pp' and that will build the application.

Then you just type 'fd2lcl {yourfile}.fd' and it builds the .pp file based on the form definition in the .fd file and it should be compilable LCL code.

Check it out.
