For those interested, I've finished another update of the Win32-API interface.
The files required to patch Lazarus are available from http://movieplace.freeyellow.com/prog/lazarus/#dl (if someone with access to the official source wants to add these files, I can send the files to that person by e-mail, but I'd appreciate other interested parties just download from the site).
For those interested who don't want to set everything up and compile it themselves, a binary version is also available. The presence of a binary version doesn't imply that the Win32-API interface is complete or release quality.
Here are some highlights of the update:
* Forms are now painted.
* Many controls/widgets/components that didn't previously work do now.
* Native message boxes are now available.
* lazarus.exe now makes it past the splash screen.
* Bug fixes.
But along with those improvements, there are things that don't work very well anyone is interested in trying to fix these things, be my guest. Here are some of the biggies:
* Many controls don't work, are buggy, or cause exceptions or crashes.
* Events don't work.
* Anything related to resource files (accelerator keys, dialog boxes, etc) haven't been coded.
